Ugreen 50283 Cable Adapter, USB-C, USB-A, Black

The Ugreen 50283 Black USB C to USB A Gender Changer converts a USB-C plug into a USB-A receptacle, enabling connection of USB-C cables and devices to legacy USB-A ports. The adapter has a compact housing in black and is designed for simple, one-piece gender conversion without additional cables. It supports straightforward mechanical and electrical mating between different USB connector types for everyday connectivity tasks.

Advantages

This USB C to USB A gender changer provides a compact and low-profile solution to connect USB-C peripherals to USB-A hosts. Its solid black housing offers durability for repeated insertions, and the direct adapter format reduces cable clutter compared with short adapter cables. The adapter is passive and requires no power or driver installation, which makes it convenient for quick device swaps.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C devices to computers or chargers with USB-A ports
• Using USB-C cables with older USB-A hubs and car chargers
• Temporary workstation setups where a quick port conversion is needed

Key specifications

• Connector A: USB-C male
• Connector B: USB-A female
• Colour: Black
• Form factor: Passive gender changer adapter
• Compatibility: Standard USB signalling between USB-C and USB-A devices (subject to device power and data capabilities)

How to use

Insert the USB-C male plug of the adapter into a device or cable with a USB-C receptacle, then plug a USB-A connector from a cable or peripheral into the USB-A female end. Ensure connectors are aligned correctly before insertion and avoid applying excessive force. The adapter does not require configuration; once connected, the host and peripheral negotiate data and power according to their supported USB profiles.

Recommendations

Use this adapter for data and charging tasks within the limits of the connected devices. Because it is a passive gender changer, compatibility depends on the power and data profiles supported by each device; for high-power or alternate-mode functions (such as video over USB-C), use a dedicated cable or an active adapter specifically rated for those features.
