Operating Instructions

The LogiLink CU0121 cable functions as a passive extension for Micro-B USB 2.0 connections. Its operation is transparent to the connected devices.

Data Transfer:

When connected between a Micro-B device and a computer, the cable facilitates data transfer at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbit/s). Ensure both the source and destination devices support USB 2.0 for optimal performance.

Charging:

The cable can be used to extend the reach of a Micro-B charging cable. Connect your device to the extension cable, and then connect the extension cable to a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, power bank). The cable supports standard USB charging protocols.

Note: While the cable extends the physical reach, excessive cable length (beyond the recommended USB specifications, including the extension) can sometimes lead to signal degradation or reduced charging efficiency. For the CU0121 (1m), this is generally not an issue when combined with a standard length cable.

Maintenance

The LogiLink CU0121 extension cable requires minimal maintenance to ensure its longevity and reliable performance.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cable and connectors. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the cable's insulation or connector pins.
• Storage: When not in use, store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable sharply, as this can stress the internal wires.
• Handling: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable. Do not pull on the cable itself, as this can damage the internal connections.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear, such as frayed insulation, bent pins, or damaged connectors. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and replace the cable.
