Cable gender changer S/CONN 14-05019 USB 2.0 MicroB USB 3.1 C Black

The S/CONN 14-05019 cable gender changer provides a compact solution for connecting devices that use USB 2.0 Micro-B to devices or cables with a USB 3.1 Type-C interface. Its black housing and compact form factor make it suitable for use with smartphones, tablets, external drives and cables where direct compatibility between different USB plug types is required. The adapter supports standard USB 2.0 data transfer and charging functions when used between Micro-B and Type-C connections.

Advantages

This gender changer enables direct mechanical and electrical coupling between USB 2.0 Micro-B and USB 3.1 Type-C connectors without requiring an additional cable. The compact design reduces clutter and keeps connection points close to the device. The black finish is unobtrusive and helps hide wear from frequent use. The adapter is intended to preserve basic USB 2.0 data rates and charging capabilities in mixed-connector setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy devices with a Micro-B plug to newer Type-C cables or ports
• Charging devices that accept USB 2.0 Micro-B when a Type-C power source is available
• Temporary data transfer between Micro-B equipped peripherals and Type-C hosts
• Travel kits and mobile setups where space and weight are limited

Key specifications

• Connector A: USB 2.0 Micro-B (male/female orientation as per adapter design)
• Connector B: USB 3.1 Type-C
• Supported USB standard: USB 2.0 data rates (up to 480 Mbps)
• Primary function: connector gender conversion between Micro-B and Type-C
• Color: Black
• Form factor: compact inline adapter

How to use

Insert the Micro-B side into the Micro-B plug or cable and connect the Type-C side to the Type-C cable or port. Ensure connectors are aligned and fully inserted to establish a stable connection. Use the adapter for charging or data transfer within the limits of the USB 2.0 standard; when connecting to a Type-C host, device negotiation will follow USB 2.0 capabilities. Do not force the connectors if resistance is felt.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for occasional or temporary connections where preserving existing Micro-B peripherals is necessary. For sustained high-speed data applications or where full Type-C feature support (such as USB 3.x speeds or alternate modes) is required, choose a native Type-C cable or an adapter explicitly rated for those functions.
