Goobay 55225 Cable Gender Changer USB-C USB 3.0 Type A White

The Goobay 55225 Cable Gender Changer USB-C USB 3.0 Type A White is a compact adapter that enables a connection between devices with USB-C plugs and hosts or cables with USB 3.0 Type A receptacles. Designed to provide compatibility between different USB connector types, this adapter has a white housing and is intended for simple, direct use where a change of connector gender or type is required. The product supports the USB 3.0 Type A interface on one side and a USB-C connector on the other side to facilitate plugging legacy USB Type-A ports to devices or cables that use USB-C.

Advantages

The adapter provides a straightforward physical conversion between USB-C and USB 3.0 Type A connectors without the need for additional cables or tools. Its compact form factor and white finish make it unobtrusive when connected to laptops, desktops, or peripheral cables. The design focuses on maintaining a reliable mechanical connection and preserving the data transfer characteristics associated with USB 3.0 where supported by connected devices and hosts.

Suitable for

• Connecting a USB-C plug to a USB 3.0 Type A port
• Adapting legacy USB Type-A ports for use with USB-C devices or cables
• Temporary or mobile setups where a small gender changer is required

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB-C
• Connector 2: USB 3.0 Type A
• Product colour: White
• Form factor: Inline gender changer/adapter

How to use

Insert the USB-C plug of the device or cable into the adapter's USB-C side, then insert the adapter's USB 3.0 Type A side into the host port or cable receptacle. Ensure connectors are aligned and fully seated before transferring data or powering connected devices. Use only in configurations where a passive mechanical adapter is appropriate; do not force connectors or attempt to use the adapter with incompatible port types.

Recommendations

Use the adapter in dry, indoor environments and avoid exposing it to excessive mechanical strain. To achieve USB 3.0 data rates, ensure both the host and the device support USB 3.0 or higher; otherwise, data transfer will operate at the maximum supported speed of the connected interfaces. Disconnect by gripping the adapter housing rather than pulling on attached cables.
