This product family consists of industrial panel-mount USB adapters designed to relocate an internal USB connection to an accessible equipment panel.

Three configurations are available:

USB 3.1 Type-C Female → Type-C Male

Micro USB 2.0 Type-B Female → Type-B Male

Mini USB 2.0 Type-B Female → Type-B Male

These adapters primarily provide a physical USB feedthrough and interface extension rather than active protocol conversion.

Product Features

Three USB Interface Options

Type-C, Micro USB and Mini USB configurations support both newer USB-C equipment and legacy USB device integration.

Female-to-Male Configuration

All three products use an external female interface and internal male connector for straightforward panel feedthrough integration.

Two Housing Colors

Silver and black versions are available to match different enclosure and OEM equipment designs.

Threaded Nut Mounting

The M22×1 threaded body is secured to the panel with a retaining nut for integration into equipment enclosures and instrument panels.

Manufacturing Process

A typical manufacturing process includes:

Aluminum housing machining → M22×1 thread machining → surface finishing → USB connector assembly → internal electrical connection → insulation and retention → dimensional inspection → continuity testing → data-performance verification → appearance inspection → packaging.

For USB 3.1 Type-C configurations requiring 10Gbps data or 5A current capability, appropriate high-speed and electrical validation should supplement basic continuity testing.

Why Is This Product Needed?

Many industrial systems already contain USB interfaces internally, but those ports are not always positioned for convenient external access.

Embedded computers, controllers, industrial cameras and legacy equipment may place Type-C, Micro USB or Mini USB ports inside the enclosure.

A panel adapter creates a structured connection path:

Internal USB Interface → Panel Mount USB Adapter → External USB Cable

This allows external access for data transfer, diagnostics, firmware updates and maintenance without repeatedly opening the enclosure.

Typical Applications

Test, Measurement and Instrumentation

Legacy Equipment Maintenance and Interface Upgrade

Core Performance Advantages

External USB Access

Internal USB connections can be relocated to an accessible external position without redesigning the original host interface.

Reduced Internal Port Handling

Routine cable connections can be handled at the panel instead of directly at the internal equipment port.

Improved OEM Interface Standardization

Similar circular mounting architecture helps OEM manufacturers standardize external interface layouts across different equipment models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product FAQ

What are the main differences ?

The main difference is the connector type: Type-C Female-to-Male, Micro USB-B Female-to-Male, or Mini USB-B Female-to-Male.

Are Micro USB and Mini USB the same ?

No. Micro USB-B and Mini USB-B use different connector dimensions and mechanical structures and are not directly interchangeable.

Why offer a Mini USB version ?

Many legacy industrial instruments, cameras and test systems still use Mini USB. A panel adapter allows these systems to retain their existing interface architecture.

What is the purpose of the protective cover ?

The cover protects the external USB interface while disconnected by reducing direct exposure to dust and foreign objects.

Is customization available ?

Connector configuration, housing color, logo, packaging and mechanical customization can be evaluated for OEM projects.
