Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends, kinks or placing heavy objects on the cable. Use in environments within the manufacturer’s specified operating conditions and keep connectors free of dust. If a device does not enumerate or operates intermittently, verify connections and try a different USB port or cable to isolate the issue.
