Cable gender changer Inter-Tech 88885461

The Inter-Tech 88885461 is a USB Type C to USB Type A gender changer designed to bridge compatibility between devices with different USB connector types. With a compact form factor and black finish, this adapter enables connection of USB Type C plugs to traditional USB Type A ports for data transfer and charging when a direct cable or port type is not available.

Advantages

This adapter provides a simple and space-saving solution for adapting between USB Type C and USB Type A connectors without the need for a new cable. Its minimal design preserves desk and bag space while offering a reliable physical connection. The gender changer supports typical USB physical mating requirements and reduces the need for multiple cables, helping to streamline device connectivity in mixed USB environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB Type C devices (phones, tablets, peripherals) to USB Type A ports on computers or chargers
• Temporary adaptation when only one connector type is available
• Travel or mobile use when carrying full-length cables is impractical

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB Type C
• Connector 2: USB Type A
• Colour: Black
• Form factor: Compact inline gender changer
• Intended functions: Physical connector adaptation for data and charging compatibility

How to use

Insert the USB Type C plug of your device into the USB Type C receptacle of the gender changer, then connect the adapter's USB Type A end to the host port or charger. Ensure connectors are aligned and inserted gently to avoid damage. Observe the device and host indicators for connection status and verify data transfer or charging function through the host device. Remove the adapter by pulling straight from the connector without twisting.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for short-term or occasional connections and avoid applying excessive mechanical force. For high-speed data transfers or fast charging, verify compatibility of the host, cable, and device, as transfer rates and power delivery depend on the specifications of the connected equipment rather than the gender changer itself.
