Panel-Mount USB-C to USB-A Adapter

This 8-inch panel-mount cable converts a USB-C host port into a standard USB 3.1 Type-A female socket. It is built for system integrators and enclosure builders who need a secure, front-panel or chassis-mount connection for legacy USB-A peripherals. The assembly includes mounting screws for a fixed installation through a cabinet or panel wall. Supports USB 3.1 SuperSpeed 5 Gbps data rates.

Suited For Fixed Enclosures; Not For Portable Use

The panel-mount design suits rack cabinets, kiosks, industrial PCs and custom chassis where a permanent USB-A port is required. It is not intended for users who need a detachable dongle for travel or frequent reconnection. Buyers who want a simple inline adapter without screw mounting should look at a non-panel-mount alternative. The short 8-inch tail limits reach inside deep enclosures.

Simple Screw Mount; Watch Panel Thickness

Installation uses the supplied screws to secure the Type-A flange from inside or outside the panel. No driver installation is needed on the host system. The main fitting issue is panel thickness: if the wall is too thick the screws may not engage, and if too thin the flange can sit proud. Ensure the cut-out matches the flange dimensions before committing.

Questions about this item

Do I need a USB-C host port on my PC or laptop for the CG-U3CMAF-PM to work?

Yes, the cable requires a USB Type-C host port on the computer to provide the connection for the Type-A female end.

Will my existing USB 2.0 flash drives and mice work at their normal speeds through this panel mount adapter?

The adapter is backward compliant with USB 2.0 at 480Mbps, USB 1.1 at 12 Mbps and USB 1.0 at 1.5 Mbps, so older devices operate at their rated speeds.

How can I verify the panel mount cable is delivering USB 3.1 Super-Speed 5Gbps after I install it?

Connect a USB 3.1 Gen 1 flash drive and check that the operating system reports a SuperSpeed connection or a transfer rate approaching 5Gbps.
