Delock USB 10 Gbps Type-A Male to Type-A Female Right-Angled Adapter, Aluminium Housing

Space is often at a premium around the back of a desktop PC or the side of a laptop, and a standard USB cable or flash drive can stick out awkwardly, blocking neighbouring ports or getting knocked. This Delock adapter solves that by turning the connection through 90 degrees, so the attached device lies flat against the chassis instead of protruding. The aluminium body does more than look good: it shields against electromagnetic interference and stands up to repeated plugging in a way plastic cannot. With USB 3.2 Gen 2 signalling, it passes through the full 10 Gbps bandwidth of modern SSDs and capture cards, while remaining backward compatible with every older USB device you still own.

Highlights

• Right-angled USB Type-A male to Type-A female adapter
• USB 3.2 Gen 2 – up to 10 Gbps data transfer
• Solid aluminium housing for durability and EMI shielding
• Compact design protects ports and improves cable routing
• Backward compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
• Plug & Play – no driver installation required
• Bus-powered, no external power supply needed

In daily use

Plug the male end into any USB Type-A port and the female end becomes a side-facing socket. This is ideal for USB flash drives, wireless mouse receivers, or cable connections in tight spaces such as behind a wall-mounted TV, inside a server rack, or next to a monitor stand. The right-angle orientation also reduces mechanical stress on the motherboard port when a heavy cable is attached, potentially extending the life of your equipment. Because the adapter is OS independent, it works with Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS and any other system that supports standard USB.
