Goobay 74390 Cable Gender Changer USB 3.1 Type A RJ45 White

The Goobay 74390 Cable Gender Changer connects a router, modem or network switch to a USB-C™ port on a laptop or tablet by providing a USB 3.1 Type A to RJ45 interface in a 7.5 m white cable. It features nickel-plated contacts for durable, reliable data transmission and a built-in smart chip in the USB plug that enables immediate Ethernet availability without additional drivers. The cable is also compatible with Apple Thunderbolt™ 3 ports.

Advantages

The built-in smart chip replaces separate RJ45-to-USB-C™ adapters and allows plug-and-play Ethernet access. Nickel-plated contacts improve contact durability and signal quality, while the 7.5 m length offers flexible placement of network hardware. The USB 3.1 Type A connector ensures high-speed wired connectivity where a native RJ45 port is not available.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router or modem to a laptop or tablet with a USB-C™/Thunderbolt™ 3 port
• Connecting a network switch to a computer lacking a built-in RJ45 port
• Temporary or semi-permanent wired network setups requiring up to 7.5 m cable length

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Product colour: White
• Contacts: Nickel-plated
• Compatibility: USB-C™ devices and Apple Thunderbolt™ 3 ports (via USB 3.1 Type A interface with built-in smart chip)

How to use

Plug the USB 3.1 Type A end into an appropriate adapter or host that provides a USB-C™/Thunderbolt™ 3 connection on your laptop or tablet (or use a passive adapter if required), then connect the RJ45 plug to your router, modem or network switch. The integrated smart chip enables immediate Ethernet access without installing extra drivers; verify the network settings on your device as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable performance keep the cable free from sharp bends and avoid tight coils; ensure connectors are fully inserted. Use indoors and within the specified 7.5 m length for optimal signal quality.
