2.2 Enhanced Durability
The cables are constructed with a flexible and wear-resistant braided nylon material, designed to withstand over 20,000 bends. The special SR (Strain Relief) design at the cable joints reinforces them, preventing fraying and extending the cable's service life. The connectors feature an all-metal shell and aluminum alloy construction for extreme durability and corrosion resistance.

6. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AINOPE USB 3.0 Extension Cables, follow these care guidelines:
- Avoid Extreme Bending: While the cables are designed to be durable, excessive or sharp bending can still damage internal wires.
- Keep Connections Clean: Periodically check the connectors for dust or debris and clean them gently with a dry, soft cloth if necessary.
- Use Cable Organizers: Utilize the included sticky buckles or other cable management solutions to keep the cables tidy and prevent tangling, especially when not in use or when adjusting device positions.
- Store Properly: When not in use, coil the cables loosely and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
- Q: Why is my data transfer slow?
- A: Ensure that both your connected device and the USB port on your computer or host device support USB 3.0. If either component is USB 2.0, the connection will default to USB 2.0 speeds. Also, check for any other devices drawing significant bandwidth from the same USB hub.
- Q: The cable is not recognized by my device.
- A: First, ensure both ends of the extension cable are securely plugged in. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable. If the issue persists, try connecting your peripheral directly to your computer's USB port to determine if the problem lies with the peripheral or the extension cable. You may also try a different USB port on your computer.
- Q: The cable feels loose or disconnects easily.
- A: While AINOPE cables feature upgraded connectors, ensure that the male and female connectors are fully inserted and that there is no physical damage to the ports on your devices or the cable itself. Avoid putting strain on the connection points.
