Cable Gender Changer Inter-Tech 88885460

The Inter-Tech 88885460 Cable Gender Changer is a compact adapter designed to connect USB Type C devices to USB Type A ports. Finished in black, this small converter preserves physical compatibility between different USB generations and enables data exchange or peripheral connection where native ports differ. Its lightweight construction makes it suitable for travel and temporary setups where a direct cable replacement is not available.

Advantages

This gender changer provides a simple, single-piece solution to bridge USB Type C and USB Type A connections without requiring additional cables or hubs. Its compact size and durable black housing reduce bulk in bags and on work surfaces while offering straightforward plug-and-play usability. The adapter supports standard mechanical compatibility for common USB devices and peripherals, making it a practical tool for occasional or emergency connectivity needs.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB Type C peripherals (keyboards, mice, flash drives) to USB Type A ports
• Using older computers or chargers with newer USB Type C devices
• Temporary or mobile setups where carrying multiple cables is impractical

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB Type C
• Connector 2: USB Type A
• Colour: Black
• Form factor: Inline gender changer / adapter

How to use

To use the adapter, insert the USB Type A plug of a cable or host port into the adapter's Type A receptacle (or insert the adapter into a Type A port as applicable), then connect the USB Type C device or cable to the Type C end. Ensure both connectors are fully seated before transferring data or powering devices. The adapter requires no software and operates as a passive mechanical converter; observe correct orientation and avoid forcing connections to prevent connector damage.

Recommendations

Use this adapter for connecting compatible peripherals and for occasional data transfer or charging tasks. Do not use it as a permanent substitute for cables when continuous high-current charging or high-speed data transfer is required; rely on certified cables or active adapters for those scenarios. Keep the adapter dry and avoid applying excessive mechanical stress to the connectors.
