DELOCK cable gender changer Type-A to Type-E, model 67339, black

The Delock cable gender changer converts a USB Type-A plug to a USB Type-E (Key A) receptacle, allowing devices, adapters or cables with a Type-E Key A interface to be connected to a spare USB Type-A port. The adapter is finished in black and is intended for situations where a change of connector gender is required. Note: the adapter provides only one fully functional 10 Gbps port rather than two.

Advantages

This compact adapter enables straightforward conversion from USB Type-A to Type-E Key A without requiring additional cables. It supports high-speed data transfer up to 10 Gbit/s on the active port and has a simple, durable housing in black that fits standard USB ports. The adapter is plug-and-play and requires no driver installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting a device or cable with a Type-E (Key A) interface to a Type-A USB port
• Adapting connector gender for peripherals during repairs or temporary setups
• Use where a short, passive gender changer is needed without extra cabling

When it may not be suitable

The adapter provides only a single fully functional 10 Gbit/s port, so it is not suitable where two simultaneous high-speed Type-E connections are required. It is a passive gender changer and does not convert signal protocols or add power beyond what the host USB port provides.

Key specifications

• Connector A: USB Type-A (male)
• Connector B: USB Type-E Key A (female)
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s (single active port)
• Colour: Black
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Insert the Type-A plug of the adapter into an available USB Type-A port on your host device, then connect the Type-E (Key A) plug of your cable or device into the adapter’s receptacle. Ensure connectors are aligned and fully seated. The adapter is plug-and-play and typically requires no additional software. Avoid forcing connectors to prevent damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the device or cable uses the Type-E Key A interface and that a Type-A host port is available
• Verify that a single 10 Gbit/s port meets your performance needs
• Ensure a passive gender changer meets your requirements (no protocol conversion or additional power)

Recommendations

Use the adapter for short-term or occasional reconfiguration of connector gender and for connecting peripherals where a single high-speed Type-E connection is sufficient. Keep the adapter dry and avoid excessive mechanical stress on connected cables.
