Cable length
⚠️ The total length of the cable should not be more than 5M (≈16 ft). Anything longer than that, and the cable falls out of USB spec and risks losing its transmission power, which could cause it to under-perform or fail. ⚠️
Please note that some high-powered keyboards such as DROP ALT, CTRL or HHKB may not fully function depending on the length of your cable. It is recommended to stay under 3M (≈10 ft) for these types of keyboards, or even lower.
Note: Coils add up a significant amount of actual raw cable used based on the length of the coils and diameter.
- 15 cm (≈6″): 1.8 M (≈6 ft) raw cable
- 20 cm (≈8″): 2.1 M (≈7 ft) raw cable
Example: 15 cm (≈6″) coil w/ 1.5 M (≈5 ft) straight cable length = 3.3 M (≈11 ft) actual raw cable used
Cable length diagram
Default:
- c = coil (15/20/25 cm ≈ 6″/8″/10″)
- d = detachable connector
- x = 17.5 cm (≈7″)
- y = 5 cm (≈2″)
- s = straight cable length
USB Connectors
Detachable Connectors
Detachable connectors allow you to quickly switch between devices (keyboards) if you own multiple cable ends with a detachable connector, but mostly they serve as an aesthetic feature.
Please note that we are using 4-pin detachable connectors with specific wire pinout and we do not recommend mixing and matching cable from different cable makers. Doing so, may result in faulty cables or even cause damage to your devices.
