InLine USB4 Adapter, USB-C Plug/Socket Angled Up/Down, Aluminium, Grey

The InLine USB4 adapter USB-C male female angled up down aluminium grey provides a compact, angled connection between two USB-C ports. It pairs a USB-C male and a USB-C female connector in a low-profile aluminium housing finished in grey. Designed for devices that use the USB4 Gen 4 protocol, the adapter maintains high-speed data throughput while changing the cable direction to improve accessibility in tight spaces or to reduce strain on connected plugs and sockets.

Advantages

This angled USB-C adapter supports USB4 Gen 4 data transfer, offering compatibility with modern hosts and peripherals that follow the USB4 specification. The aluminium housing offers mechanical durability and a slim profile that helps when working near walls, behind monitors, or inside compact setups. The angled up/down orientation reduces cable bending at the connection point and can extend the service life of both the cable and the device port. At approximately 0.03 kg, the adapter is lightweight and portable for use with laptops, docking stations, and mobile devices.

Suitable for

• Routing USB-C cables in constrained spaces behind monitors or furniture
• Reducing strain on device USB-C ports in mobile workstation setups
• Connecting USB4-capable peripherals where a directional change is needed
• Temporary or permanent cable orientation adjustment in docking or charging stations

How to use

Insert the USB-C male end of the adapter into the host device’s USB-C port, then connect a USB-C cable to the female end. Ensure the connector orientation matches the required up or down direction for your setup. After connection, verify that the host and peripheral negotiate the expected USB4 Gen 4 link; if necessary, check cable and device compatibility with USB4 features. Disconnect by gently pulling the adapter from the host port without twisting to avoid strain.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use certified USB4 or high-quality USB-C cables and avoid excessive force when inserting or removing the adapter. Keep the aluminium housing clean and dry; do not expose the adapter to liquids or corrosive environments. If you experience intermittent connectivity, test with alternate cables or ports to isolate the issue.
