## Summary description

Akyga AK-AD-29 is a compact cable gender changer that converts a USB-A connection to a USB-B connection. It features nickel-plated contacts for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance and comes in black. Suitable for adapting cables and devices where a USB-A plug must connect to a USB-B receptacle, e.g., printers, scanners or legacy peripherals.

## Long description

Akyga AK-AD-29 is a gender changer adapter that converts a USB-A socket into a USB-B plug. It allows devices or cables with a USB-A male connector to be connected to equipment that accepts a USB-B input, commonly used for printers and some peripheral devices. The adapter is finished in black with nickel-plated contacts for durable electrical connection.
Advantages
The adapter provides a simple, compact solution for reversing connector gender without requiring a new cable. Nickel-plated contacts reduce corrosion and maintain reliable data and power transfer. Its small size and light weight make it easy to carry and store with peripherals or in a toolkit.
Suitable for
Connecting a computer or hub with a USB-A cable to a printer or device with a USB-B port
Adapting existing USB-A cables for use with older peripherals that use USB-B
Temporary or occasional connections where replacing the cable is impractical
When it may not be suitable
This adapter does not change signal type or provide protocol conversion; it only alters connector gender. It is not suitable where a USB cable needs to support a specific USB standard beyond the capability of the connected devices or cables. For permanent installations or heavy-duty use, a purpose-made cable of the correct ends is generally preferable.
Key specifications
Connector 1: USB-A (female)
Connector 2: USB-B (male)
Contact plating: nickel
Colour: black
Weight: 0.0093 kg
How to use
Plug the USB-A male end of your cable into the USB-A side of the adapter, then insert the USB-B plug of the adapter into the device’s USB-B socket. Ensure connections are fully seated before use. Use the adapter only with devices and cables that match required USB signal and power specifications.
What to consider before purchase
Confirm the devices use USB-A and USB-B connector types
Check that the cable and devices support the needed USB data rate and power delivery
Decide if a dedicated cable with correct ends would be a more durable solution for permanent setups
Usage recommendations
Use the adapter for occasional or emergency conversions between USB-A and USB-B connectors; avoid placing strain on the connection and disconnect when not in use to protect ports and connectors.
