usb cable issue

[guerrillase7en]

i'm running windows XP i've tried in all USB slots...

When i connect 2 or more usb cables together then the a6200 it detects it but it's disabled, and when i try to enable it i get an error saying 'connection failed' it never enables or even tries to connect, my usb cables are all about 3 feet long and work with other devises

any ideas?

All USB ports are paired up so using other devices where A6200 is used may cause issues

Also per design it maybe possible 2 pair of USB could be shared

Issues is on computer side and not A6200 adapter

Try using a dedicated USB port (not shared/split).

It's just a normal cable. No splits or anything like that. It works fine with just one cable but gives this problem when i try to use two or more cables together. I'm still well under the 16 feet limit for usb cables

It's your setup issues

You can not use USB hub nor use shared USB ports

Anyway sounds like still computer motherboard issues

Are you connecting the USB cables together to make one long one?

Yes I am

all my usb cables are short (3 feet) and i'd like to get the adapter at-least to the top of my desk.

After my computer boots i've tried unhooking all usb devices other then the adapter still nogo

I also thought of a passable motherboard issue so i put a USB 2.0 PCI card in and tried with that but still doing the same.

Did you try WITHOUT the USB extension cable?

It may supply enough power to use it.

Try with 3ft cable that came with adapter 🙂

1. Don't keep you PC on the floor.
2. Spend $20.00 on a longer cable.
