USB 2.0 adapter Renkforce 28833C15A — 1x A plug to 1x A socket, gold plated contacts

Renkforce USB 2.0 adapter 28833C15A converts a USB Type-A plug into a USB Type-A socket, allowing you to adapt or extend existing A‑to‑A connections. The adapter is designed for USB 2.0 transfer rates and features gold-plated contacts to improve electrical conductivity and resist corrosion. Its compact inline form factor makes it suitable for temporary connections, repairs, and simple cable extensions where a straight A-to-A mating is required.

Advantages

The adapter provides a straightforward mechanical and electrical connection between two USB Type-A ends without altering signal characteristics beyond USB 2.0 specifications. Gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and enhance long-term reliability in environments where connectors may be mated and unmated repeatedly. Its compact, low-profile design preserves cable flexibility and minimizes added bulk while maintaining standard USB pinout compatibility for data and power on the downstream A socket.

Suitable for

• Extending USB Type-A to Type-A cables temporarily
• Adapting devices that require an A female connection from an A male cable
• Repairing or replacing damaged connectors in non-permanent setups
• Connecting USB peripherals or hubs in situations where a male-to-female change is needed

Key specifications

• Interface: USB Type-A plug to USB Type-A socket
• USB standard: USB 2.0 (supports USB 2.0 data rates)
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Function: data and power pass-through compatible with USB 2.0 wiring
• Form factor: compact inline adapter with standard USB A mechanical dimensions

How to use

Insert the USB Type-A plug from a cable or device into the adapter's Type-A socket, then plug the adapter's Type-A plug into the target device or host port. Ensure connectors are aligned and inserted gently to avoid damaging contacts. The adapter transmits power and data according to USB 2.0 specifications; it does not change cable wiring or negotiate speeds beyond USB 2.0. For stable connections, avoid excessive bending near the adapter and make sure plugs are seated fully.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for temporary extensions, repairs, or adaptation tasks. Do not use it as a permanent replacement for a properly shielded, purpose-built cable in installations requiring EMI protection or where USB 3.x speeds and features are required. Avoid exposing the adapter to moisture or extreme mechanical stress to preserve the gold plating and contact integrity.
