GoodConnections Alcasa USB-AD36 USB Micro-B male to USB-A female adapter cable, 0,15 m, Blue

The blue PVC jacket of the GoodConnections Alcasa USB-AD36 makes it easy to find in a drawer full of black cables — and its 0,15 m length means it adds almost no bulk to a laptop bag or a technician's pouch. This is a gender-changing adapter: a USB Micro-B male plug on one end, a USB-A female port on the other.

Why this adapter earns its place in the kit

• Converts a USB Micro-B male connection into a full USB-A female port — one small part instead of a second cable
• USB 2.0 with 480 Mbps data transfer for everyday file work, firmware updates and peripheral connections
• Double shielding (foil and braid) keeps the signal clean in dense equipment racks and crowded desks
• Plug and play — no drivers, no configuration, no downtime
• Supports charging up to 0,5 A at 5 V
• Durable PVC jacket in blue for quick identification

Where it fits in a working environment

Useful when a USB-A peripheral — a flash drive, keyboard, mouse or diagnostic tool — has to reach a device whose only available port is Micro-B: older smartphones and tablets, single-board computers, embedded controllers, test benches and legacy industrial hardware. The round cable stays flexible in tight spaces, and the short run keeps the whole setup tidy instead of trailing across a desk.

Practical tips

Keep one adapter per service kit — it costs little and removes the need to hunt for the right cable on site. Check the port orientation before inserting, and avoid pulling the adapter out by the cable, as the strain relief is designed for the 0,15 m length. For stable transfers, connect directly to the device rather than through an additional extension.
