Cable gender changer S/CONN 13-20013 USB 3.1 C to USB 2.0 A Black

The ShiverPeaks Cable gender changer model 13-20013 converts a USB 3.1 Type-C connector to a USB 2.0 Type-A connector in a compact black adapter. Designed to bridge devices with different USB port generations, this cable accessory enables connection of USB-C peripherals, chargers or cables to hosts and hubs that provide only USB-A ports. The adapter supports the physical connection and basic USB 2.0 data and power functions while maintaining a small, durable form factor.

Advantages

This adapter offers a simple, tool-free way to connect USB-C cables and devices to USB-A ports. Its compact black housing provides a low-profile fit that is easy to carry and store. The gender changer preserves USB 2.0 signaling and power delivery limits, allowing for reliable basic data transfer and device charging where more advanced USB-C features are not required.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C chargers or cables to USB-A power sources
• Linking USB-C peripherals to computers, hubs or car ports with USB-A
• Adapting existing USB-C accessories for use with older USB-A equipment

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB 3.1 Type-C (physical plug)
• Connector 2: USB 2.0 Type-A (physical plug)
• Supported protocol: USB 2.0 data transfer rates (up to 480 Mbps)
• Colour: Black
• Form factor: Compact gender changer / adapter

How to use

Insert the USB 3.1 Type-C plug into the cable or device you wish to adapt, and connect the USB 2.0 Type-A plug to the host port (computer, charger, hub or other USB-A receptacle). Ensure connections are fully seated to maintain stable contact. This adapter does not change the electrical capabilities of the connected devices beyond USB 2.0 specifications, so high-speed USB-C features will not be available when in use.

Recommendations

Use this gender changer when you need straightforward physical compatibility between USB-C plugs and USB-A ports. Avoid forcing connectors into incompatible ports and disconnect by pulling the adapter rather than the cable to reduce strain. For high-speed data transfer or advanced USB-C power delivery, use native USB-C to USB-C cables or active adapters designed for those capabilities.
