InLine USB4 adapter, USB-C male/female 180°, aluminium, grey

The InLine USB4 adapter USB-C male/female 180° aluminium grey is a compact angled adapter designed to join two USB-C cables or devices while maintaining the USB4 Gen 4 specification. Constructed with a grey aluminium housing and featuring a USB-C male connector on one end and a USB-C female connector on the other, the adapter provides a low-profile 180° connection that helps manage cable routing and reduce strain on device ports. It is suited for users who need a reliable physical interface to connect USB-C peripherals, chargers or data cables without altering signal standards.

Advantages

The aluminium casing offers durable protection and a lightweight form factor, while the symmetric USB-C connectors ensure reversible insertion. Compliance with USB4 Gen 4 supports high-speed data transfer rates inherent to that standard. The 180° orientation minimizes bending stress at the device plug and allows cables to run close to surfaces or behind equipment for better space management.

Suitable for

• Connecting two USB-C cables where a low-profile 180° connection is needed
• Reducing strain on device USB-C ports in tight spaces
• Linking USB-C peripherals, docking stations, or chargers compatible with USB4 Gen 4
• Temporary or permanent inline extension of USB-C cable runs

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB-C (male)
• Connector 2: USB-C (female)
• USB version: USB4 Gen 4
• Housing material: aluminium
• Product colour: grey
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Orientation: 180° angled adapter

How to use

Insert the USB-C male connector into the device or cable where a 180° exit is required, then plug the USB-C cable or device into the female port. Ensure connectors are fully seated before transferring power or data. The adapter does not require drivers or external power and can remain connected while devices are in normal operation. When disconnecting, grip the adapter housing rather than pulling the cable to avoid stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the adapter only with cables and devices that support USB4 Gen 4 to maintain expected data transfer and power delivery performance. Avoid exposing the aluminium housing to excessive moisture or mechanical shock. For sustained high-power charging or full bandwidth operation, use certified USB-C cables and verify device compatibility.
