Cable Gender Changer ShiverPeaks BS14-05033 USB A to USB C Grey

The ShiverPeaks BS14-05033 USB A to USB C Grey cable gender changer provides a compact solution for connecting USB A hosts and peripherals to USB C devices. Designed for simple, reliable mating between different connector types, this adapter supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) signalling for data transfer and maintains a neutral grey finish to blend with workstations and mobile setups.

Advantages

This cable gender changer allows direct connection between USB A and USB C interfaces without requiring an additional hub or docking station. Support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) ensures compatible data transfer speeds where both endpoints support the standard, while the compact, lightweight form factor makes it easy to carry and store. The neutral grey colour reduces visual contrast with most devices and cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB A peripherals (keyboards, mice, external drives) to USB C ports
• Adapting older chargers or power banks with USB A output to USB C-equipped devices (data and charging behaviour depends on connected devices)
• Temporary connections in travel, office, or home environments
• Integrating legacy USB A equipment into modern USB C workflows

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A (male)
• Connector 2: USB C (male)
• USB protocol: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) compatible
• Colour: Grey
• Form factor: Compact inline gender changer

How to use

Insert the USB A end into the USB A receptacle of the host device or peripheral and connect the USB C end to the corresponding USB C port on the target device. Ensure both devices recognise the connection; data transfer rates and power delivery depend on the capabilities of the connected equipment and cables. For charging or high-speed data tasks, verify that both sides support the required power and transfer profiles.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for short-term or occasional connections. Avoid subjecting the connector joints to excessive bending or mechanical stress. For sustained high-speed data transfer or high-power charging, use purpose-built cables or adapters rated for the specific power and data requirements of your devices.
