Haakse 270° USB 3.2 Gen 1 adapter InLine 35300U — USB Type-A naar Type-A, haakse verbinding

The Angled 270° USB 3.2 Gen 1 adapter InLine 35300U is a right-angle USB Type-A to Type-A connector designed to redirect a standard USB port in constrained spaces. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 data rates up to 5 Gbps, enabling connection of external drives, flash memory and USB peripherals while keeping cables close to the device chassis. The adapter’s 270° angled orientation reduces strain on cable joints and improves access to rear or recessed ports.

Advantages

The adapter provides a compact mechanical solution for routing USB Type-A cables at a right angle without compromising USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance. Its low-profile form factor helps prevent bent connectors and excessive bending of cable sheaths, extending the usable life of connected cables and devices. The plug-and-play design requires no drivers and maintains compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices at their respective speeds.

Suitable for

• Connecting external HDDs and SSDs where rear panel clearance is limited
• Using USB flash drives in tight or recessed ports
• Routing USB Type-A cables behind monitors, desktop PCs, AV equipment and network devices
• Reducing cable stress in compact workstations and rack-mounted systems

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-A male to USB Type-A female, right-angle orientation
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (backward compatible with USB 2.0 / 1.1)
• Maximum data rate: up to 5 Gbps
• Angle: 270° right-angle configuration for reduced cable protrusion
• Compatibility: supports USB storage devices and standard USB peripherals using Type-A

How to use

Insert the adapter’s Type-A male plug into the present USB Type-A port on the device, aligning the connector so the angled profile directs the cable in the desired direction. Plug the USB cable or device into the adapter’s Type-A female receptacle. The adapter is plug-and-play and typically requires no additional software. Ensure the connection is fully seated before moving devices to avoid intermittent contact.

Recommendations

Use the adapter where space constraints or cable routing require a low-profile solution; avoid applying excessive force or twisting the adapter under load. For high-power or high-current devices, verify that the host port provides sufficient power, as the adapter does not alter electrical characteristics. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the adapter if mechanical fit becomes loose.
