Cable Gender Changer Goobay 74400 USB 3.0 Type A RJ45 15m Black Silver

Connects a router, modem or network switch to a USB-A port on a laptop or tablet. The Goobay 74400 Cable Gender Changer features a USB 3.0 Type A connector and an RJ45 connector in a 15 m length, providing a simple wired Ethernet connection for USB-A devices that lack a built-in network port. Nickel-plated contacts improve durability and signal reliability while the compact design fits typical home and office setups.

Advantages

With USB 3.0 performance and a long 15 m cable, this gender changer enables stable wired connections at a distance, and the nickel-plated contacts reduce corrosion for long-term use. Available in black and silver to match common device colours.

How to use

For best performance, use a free USB 3.0 port and avoid sharp bends or heavy kinks along the 15 m cable.

Recommendations

For optimal reliability, keep the cable routed away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid running it parallel to power cables. Use the USB 3.0 port when available to benefit from higher data throughput; check your device network settings if the connection is not recognized immediately.
