Introduction
In the ever-evolving world of USB connectivity, USB Type A to Type A adapters and couplers play a crucial role in ensuring seamless compatibility and versatility. These handy accessories bridge the gap between devices with USB Type A ports, allowing for extended cable lengths, gender changing, port saving, and more. Whether you need to connect peripherals like printers, keyboards, or external hard drives, or simply protect your device's USB ports from wear and tear, CableLeader's extensive range of USB Type A to Type A products has you covered.
Connectors and Types
USB Type A to Type A adapters and couplers come in various configurations, each designed to serve a specific purpose. Here's a breakdown of the different types:
USB Type A Male to Type A Male (Gender Changer)
These adapters allow you to change a USB female connector to a male connector, effectively extending the overall cable length when used with an existing USB cable. They are ideal for connecting devices with USB Type A female ports, such as printers, keyboards, mice, computers, external hard drives, and other USB-enabled devices.
USB Type A Male to Type A Female (Port Saver)
Port savers are designed to prevent damage to USB ports on your devices due to constant plugging and unplugging. By connecting the port saver to your device's USB port, you can easily connect and disconnect cables without putting stress on the port itself. These adapters are particularly useful for devices that are frequently moved or have limited access to USB ports.
USB Type A Female to Type A Female (Coupler)
Couplers allow you to extend the overall cable length by connecting two USB cables. This is especially handy when you need to bridge a longer distance between devices or when your existing cable is not long enough. Couplers are compatible with a wide range of USB-enabled devices, including printers, keyboards, mice, computers, and external hard drives.
USB Type A Male to Type A Female (Panel Mount Adapter)
Panel mount adapters offer a well-secured USB connection by mounting the adapter directly onto a panel or surface. These adapters combine the functionality of a port saver with the added benefit of a secure, permanent installation. They are ideal for applications where a reliable and fixed USB connection is required.

Will USB Type A go away?
Yes, USB Type-A is gradually being phased out as devices transition toward the newer USB Type-C. While USB Type-A is still prevalent in many devices, USB Type-C has become increasingly popular, particularly among high-end gadgets, due to its greater versatility and enhanced features. However, this transition is gradual, and USB Type-A will likely remain in use for some time.
Is USB Type A still used?
Yes, USB Type A is still widely used, especially on desktop computers and older devices. While newer devices are increasingly adopting USB Type-C, many computers, particularly desktop models, are still sold with Type-A USB ports alongside Type-C ports. Tablets and phones, however, almost always have micro or Type-C ports.
What are the 4 types of USB connectors?
The four main types of USB connectors are:
- USB-A: Most commonly used with computers or power outlets
- USB-B: Mostly used to connect printers or external hard drives with computers
- Mini-USB: An older connector type, now largely replaced by Micro-USB and USB-C
- Micro-USB: Commonly used for charging and data transfer on older smartphones and tablets
- USB-C: The newest connector type, gaining widespread adoption for its versatility and compatibility with a wide range of devices
How do I know if my USB is Type A or C?
You can easily identify USB connector types by their physical shape:
- USB-A ports are rectangular in shape, and USB-A cables have a "right side up" orientation
- USB-C ports are oval-shaped and symmetrical, allowing cables to be inserted in either orientation
