Connect USB Type-A cables to USB Type-B cables with the NAUSB3 Reversible USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B Gender Changer from Neutrik. Equipped with a D-shaped nickel housing, this feedthrough connector features a reversible USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 insert with a Type-A port on one side and a Type-B port on the other.

USB 3.0 Performance

To meet USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 specifications, the NAUSB3 chassis contain tight-tolerance pin wiring and an improved ground connection due to an additional copper film between the USB jacks, which helps the feedthrough adapter achieve writing and reading speed above 200 MB/s.

Gender Changeable

Certain applications require that the USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Type-A or Type-B jack is in front to connect devices such as hard drives and cameras. The connector configuration of the NAUSB3 can be changed by rotating the USB insert without special tools.

Design

The standardized D-shape housing of the adapter fits into conventional patch panels and offers an additional protection for the connector.

Optimized Ground Connection

An additional metal lip helps to ensure optimum ground connection from the USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 jack to the D-size flange in order to achieve a consistent ground level. To eliminate the ground connection, pinch off the metal lip.
