USB-C to Lightning Adapter

The 4XEM 4XUSBCLIGHTNINGA is a USB 3.1 Type-C female to 8-pin Lightning male adapter that lets a Type-C cable charge and sync Apple devices. It is aimed at users who want to connect existing USB-C cables to iPhones, iPads or iPods without buying new leads. The small, reversible plug-and-play design avoids orientation issues.

Suits owners of Lightning Apple gear

This adapter suits anyone with Lightning-port iPhones, iPads or iPods who already carries a USB-C cable and wants charge-plus-sync capability. It also works with USB-C MacBooks for direct device connection. Users whose devices have moved to USB-C ports, or who need video output, will not get the functions they require from this Lightning-only connector.

USB 3.1 Type-C female interface

The decisive specification is the USB 3.1 Type-C female port paired with an 8-pin Lightning male plug, which defines the cables and devices you can join. Only this combination determines whether the adapter fits your current cable and target Apple hardware.
