USB-C to USB-A adapter cable

This six-inch adapter cable connects a USB-C male plug to a USB-A female port, letting you attach standard USB-A peripherals to newer USB-C hosts. It is aimed at anyone who needs a short, direct link without a bulky dongle.

USB 3.0 headroom and limits

The cable carries USB 3.0 signals, so it handles 5 Gbps data transfers and typical bus-powered devices such as flash drives, keyboards or mice. It will not support higher USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB4 speeds, and it cannot deliver power beyond the standard USB 3.0 current rating.

Replaces a legacy USB-A cable

Use this adapter when you want to keep an existing USB-A cable or device while moving to a USB-C laptop, tablet or hub. The upgrade is worth it only if the host port is USB-C and you do not need the faster throughput or alternate modes that newer standards provide.

Questions about this item

Will this USB-C to USB-A adapter cable work with my older USB 3.0 ports?

Yes, the adapter supports USB 3.0 speeds and connects a USB-C device to a standard USB-A port, so it will function with your existing USB 3.0 hardware.

How can I verify the adapter is delivering USB 3.0 performance after I plug it in?

Check the transfer speed when moving large files; a sustained rate near the USB 3.0 specification indicates the link is operating as intended.

Does the package include only the 6-inch adapter cable or are extra cables required?

The box contains the single 6-inch USB-C male to USB-A female adapter cable; no additional cables are included.
