Product Information

Full details

This Kenable USB 2.0 A to A Male to Male cable is designed for connecting computers to peripherals that utilize a USB A socket, such as external drive enclosures or cameras. Its primary benefit is reliable data transfer thanks to 24 AWG copper construction and shielding. A key caveat is that it cannot be used to directly connect two computers for data transfer; a specialized data transfer cable is required for that purpose. Key features include USB 2.0 compatibility, a 0.15m length, and durable construction with nickel/gold plated contacts.

FAQs

Can I use this cable to connect two computers together?

No, this USB 2.0 A to A cable is not designed for direct computer-to-computer connection. A specialized data transfer or network link cable is required for that specific function.

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This cable supports USB 2.0 speeds, which have a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps (Megabits per second).

What does '24 AWG copper' mean for performance?

24 AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates a thicker copper conductor, which generally leads to more reliable data transfer and can better support devices requiring more power over its length compared to thinner wires.

How short is the 0.15m cable length?

0.15 meters is approximately 15 centimeters or about 6 inches, making it suitable for very close-range connections.

Is this cable shielded?

Yes, the cable is shielded to help minimize interference from external electronic signals, ensuring a cleaner data transfer.

What type of devices can I connect with this cable?

This cable is ideal for connecting computers to peripherals that have a USB A port, such as some external hard drive enclosures, cameras, or specific audio interfaces.

Does this cable require any drivers to work?

No, this cable is Plug and Play. Your operating system should automatically recognize devices connected through it without needing to install separate drivers.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by the computer

Ensure both ends of the cable are firmly seated in their respective ports. Try a different USB port on the computer and verify the peripheral device is powered on and functioning. Confirm the cable is not used for direct PC-to-PC connection.

Intermittent connection or data errors

Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not excessively bent or strained. Interference from other electronic devices could be a factor; try moving the connected devices further apart if possible.

Slow data transfer speeds

Verify that both the computer and the peripheral device support USB 2.0 speeds. Ensure the device is properly connected and not experiencing other performance bottlenecks. This cable is limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable data transfer due to 24 AWG copper and shielding.
  • Compact size is convenient for reducing cable mess.
  • Durable construction with quality plated contacts.
  • Plug and Play simplicity for quick setup.

Cons

  • Cannot be used to directly connect two computers.
  • Short length may not be suitable for all applications.
  • Limited to USB 2.0 speeds, not USB 3.0 or higher.
  • Primarily for peripheral connection, not PC-to-PC communication.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cable is designed for Plug and Play functionality. Simply insert the USB A male connector into the corresponding USB A port on your computer and the other USB A male connector into the peripheral device. No software installation is typically required.

Compatibility:

  • USB Version: Compatible with USB 2.0 ports and devices.
  • Connectors: Features two standard USB A male connectors.
  • Primary Use: Intended for connecting computers to peripherals (e.g., external drives, cameras) with a USB A port.
  • Important Note: This cable is *not* suitable for connecting two computers directly to share data or form a network. For that purpose, a specialized USB data transfer or network link cable is necessary.

Care:

  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Avoid bending the cable sharply or placing heavy objects on it.
  • Keep the connectors clean. If necessary, gently clean with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids.
