L-com recently added a new line of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 double-stack adapter couplers and cables. These space savers allow for double the number of USB ports in a rack, panel, or box and also bring faster data transmission from USB 2.0.
With the double-stack design, two sets of USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 connections are stacked vertically, which makes for a “more compact and organized installation”.
“The adapter cable has a chrome-plated, shielded and grounded ABS housing, and 30-micro-inch gold-plated contacts that ensure reliable connection even after repeated mating cycles. The adapter comes in chrome plated, shielded or unshielded housing types, depending on whether or not the user prefers to ground the connector shell to their rack, panel or box. The USB cables can be installed securely by using L-com's ECF-style flange-mount design with screw mounting to pass through panels or enclosures.”
For the USB-A combinations, customers can choose two female jacks to two male plugs, or two female to two female. The ECF-style panel mounts also fit many different racks and panel cutouts.
L-com’s latest double-stack adapter couplers improve cable management by managing cable routing and providing a fixed point for connecting USB devices, thereby preventing loose or dangling cables in an enclosure.
Most of the products come as a cable assembly and have seven length options, from 1 foot to 10 feet, and four colors to choose from ivory, black, silver, or blue.
“These adapter couplers offer two main benefits,” said Product Line Manager Dustin Guttadauro. “They upgrade you to higher data speeds from USB 2.0 to match the latest equipment. And they give you higher USB port density without taking up more space.”
L-com’s new USB 3.0 double-stack adapter couplers and cables and USB 2.0 double-stack adapter couplers and cables are readily available for shipment.
