DeLOCK 61026 cable gender changer USB C RJ45 Black

The DeLOCK 61026 cable gender changer USB C RJ45 Black is a compact adapter designed to link devices with a USB-C port to RJ45 Ethernet networks. With a short 0.17 m cable and a black housing, this adapter provides a straightforward physical interface for wired network connectivity where direct RJ45 mating or orientation conversion is required. It supports common Ethernet standards to ensure compatibility with fast and energy-efficient network environments.

Advantages

This adapter combines a flexible short cable with a rugged black connector shell to simplify cable routing and reduce mechanical stress on ports. It supports multiple IEEE networking standards for broad interoperability with switches, routers, and network interfaces. The small form factor makes it easy to carry and fit into crowded setups while maintaining a reliable physical Ethernet connection for data transfer and network access.

Suitable for

• Converting or adapting the connector orientation between USB-C equipped devices and RJ45 Ethernet cables
• Temporary or permanent installations where a short adapter cable is preferred over a fixed coupler
• Use in office, lab, or on-the-go environments needing wired network access

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.17 m
• Connector types: USB-C to RJ45 (gender changer)
• Colour: Black
• Supported networking standards: IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3az, IEEE 802.1Q

How to use

Connect the USB-C end of the adapter to the USB-C port on your device and plug an RJ45 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector. Ensure both device and network equipment are powered on. The adapter functions as a passive gender changer/cable adapter; no separate drivers are required for the mechanical connection itself, though the connected device must support Ethernet over the chosen interface where applicable. Avoid forcing connectors and verify the orientation before insertion.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the adapter in environments within normal indoor temperature ranges and avoid exposing it to moisture or mechanical strain. Use appropriately shielded Ethernet cables and secure connections to minimize signal loss and maintain network performance. If repeated plugging is expected, support the cable close to the connector to reduce strain on the USB-C port.
