This kenable PRO Metal USB 2.0 extension cable is designed for users needing to extend the reach of their USB devices, offering reliable high-speed data transfer up to 5 meters. Its premium metal housing, braided cable, and gold-plated connectors ensure durability and optimal performance, though it's important to note that certain high-power devices or specific cables like iPhone cables may not be compatible with extension.

The total length, including your original USB cable and this extension cable, should not exceed 5 meters. For distances over 5 meters, an active USB extension cable is recommended.
It is unlikely to work reliably with all iPhone charging cables, as some use specific protocols or require higher power delivery that passive USB 2.0 extensions are not designed for. Check your device's manual for compatibility.
Compatibility varies greatly with external hard drives. While some lower-power portable drives might work, many require more stable power or higher bandwidth than this passive USB 2.0 extension can reliably provide. It's recommended to test with your specific drive.
24 AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates a thicker copper conductor compared to lower AWG numbers, which allows for better electrical conductivity. This means more stable power delivery and reduced signal loss, especially over longer distances, leading to more reliable data transfer.
This is a USB 2.0 cable, which supports theoretical speeds of up to 480 Mbps (Megabits per second).
The metal housing provides excellent protection against physical damage, while the braided cable sheath adds a layer of abrasion resistance and prevents the cable from easily fraying or kinking, contributing to increased longevity.
Yes, the cable is shielded to help minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from nearby devices or power sources, ensuring a cleaner signal.
Ensure the total cable length (original + extension) does not exceed 5 meters. Try connecting the device directly to the host to rule out device issues. Check that the connectors are fully inserted and free from debris. If extending a high-power device, it may not be compatible with passive extension.
Verify that both the host and the device support USB 2.0 speeds. Ensure the cable is not damaged and connections are secure. Using a shorter extension or a direct connection might improve speeds if the 5-meter limit is being approached.
This is normal for braided and metal-housed cables, designed for durability. Allow the cable to naturally settle into position. Avoid forcing sharp bends, which can damage the internal wiring.
Setup: Simply plug the Type A male end into your host device (e.g., computer, hub) and the Type A female end into your USB device's cable. Ensure the total combined length of the original cable and the extension does not exceed 5 meters for optimal performance. For longer distances, an active USB extension is required.
Compatibility: This cable is compatible with most USB 2.0 devices. It is *not* guaranteed to work with all USB devices, especially high-power devices such as some external hard drives, or specific manufacturer cables like certain iPhone charging cables, which may have proprietary signalling or power requirements not suited for passive extension.
Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the cable and housing if needed. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or sharp bends to preserve the braided sheath and internal wiring.
