Product Information

Full details

This Kenable USB4 40Gbps Right Angle Adapter is designed for users needing to connect USB-C devices in confined spaces or optimize cable routing. Its primary benefit is enabling high-speed data transfers up to 40Gbps without stressing ports in tight areas. A potential caveat is that while backward compatible, achieving full 40Gbps speeds requires USB4-compatible devices and cables.

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this adapter?

The adapter supports USB4 speeds of up to 40Gbps. However, actual speeds depend on the capabilities of your connected devices and the USB-C cable used.

Is this adapter compatible with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 devices?

Yes, USB4 is based on Thunderbolt 3 specifications, so this adapter is generally compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 devices, allowing for high-speed data transfer and display output where supported.

Do I need any special drivers for this adapter?

No, this adapter is plug-and-play and does not require any special drivers. It relies on the native USB4 support in your operating system.

Can this adapter charge my laptop?

The adapter itself does not provide power. It supports USB Power Delivery (PD) passthrough, meaning if your host device, the connected peripheral, and the USB-C cable all support PD, charging capabilities will be maintained through the adapter.

What does the '90/270 socket configuration' mean?

This refers to the flexibility in how the female USB-C port can be oriented. It allows the connected cable to exit the adapter at either a 90-degree angle or a 270-degree angle (effectively the same direction), offering choices for cable routing in tight spaces.

Will this adapter work with my older USB 3.0 devices?

Yes, the adapter is backward compatible with USB 3.1, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 devices. However, the data transfer speed will be limited to the standard supported by the older device.

Troubleshooting

No connection or device not recognized

Ensure all connections are secure. Try a different USB-C cable and port on your host device. Verify that your connected device is compatible and powered on.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both your host device, peripheral device, and the USB-C cable support USB4 40Gbps speeds. If not, speeds will default to the lowest supported standard (e.g., USB 3.0 at 5Gbps).

Video output issues (if using DisplayPort Alternate Mode)

Ensure your host device, the adapter, the cable, and the display all support DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C. Check display settings on your host device.

Adapter feels loose in the port

Gently ensure the male connector is fully seated in the host's USB-C port. If persistent, there might be an issue with the host port or the adapter's connector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables high-speed 40Gbps data transfer.
  • Right-angle design optimizes space and reduces cable strain.
  • Versatile 90/270 socket offers flexible cable management.
  • Broad compatibility with USB-C and older USB standards.
  • Durable build for reliable use.

Cons

  • Full 40Gbps speed requires compatible USB4 devices and cables.
  • May not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences.
  • The 90/270 configuration might add a slight protrusion compared to a flat adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the adapter and the devices you intend to connect are powered off.
  2. Plug the male USB-C end of the adapter into the USB-C port on your host device (e.g., laptop, desktop).
  3. Plug your USB-C cable into the female USB-C port on the adapter.
  4. Connect the other end of your USB-C cable to your peripheral device (e.g., external drive, monitor).
  5. Power on your devices. The adapter requires no additional drivers or software for basic functionality.

Compatibility:

  • Primary: USB4 (up to 40Gbps data transfer, DisplayPort Alternate Mode, Power Delivery if supported by connected devices and cables).
  • Backward Compatible: USB 3.2, USB 3.1, USB 3.0, USB 2.0 (speeds will be limited by the slowest component in the chain).
  • Connectors: USB-C Male to USB-C Female.

Care:

  • Keep the adapter dry and away from excessive moisture.
  • Clean the connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dusty or dirty.
  • Avoid exposing the adapter to extreme temperatures.
  • Do not apply excessive force when plugging or unplugging cables to prevent damage to the connectors.
