How to use

Connect one male USB-A plug to the USB host (computer, notebook, USB hub or wall plug with USB-A port) and the other male USB-A plug to the peripheral device. If the device uses USB-C, use a compatible USB-A to USB-C adapter. Ensure both devices are powered on and the operating system recognises the connected peripheral; drivers may be required for some devices. Avoid sharp bends and excessive force when inserting or removing connectors.

Recommendations

The cable is designed for USB 2.0 data rates; for higher-speed devices consider cables compliant with USB 3.x or USB 4 standards. For stable connections over long distances, avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines and inspect connectors regularly for damage.
