Three-pack USB-C to USB-A 3.0 adapters

This set contains three blue adapters that convert a USB-C male port into a USB-A 3.0 female port. They are designed for users who need to connect legacy USB-A peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards or mice to modern devices equipped only with USB-C sockets. The pack suits laptop, tablet and phone owners who want a spare adapter for travel or multiple workstations.

USB 3.0 speed ceiling and port spacing

Each adapter supports the USB 3.0 protocol, limiting data throughput to that standard’s maximum rate rather than any higher Thunderbolt or USB4 speeds the host port may offer. The slim housing allows two adapters to sit side-by-side on adjacent USB-C ports without blocking each other, a practical advantage on tightly spaced port layouts found on many ultraportables.

OTG support decides host compatibility

The critical specification is On-The-Go (OTG) support, which lets a phone or tablet act as a host for USB-A peripherals without a computer. Devices lacking OTG will not recognise connected drives or input devices through these adapters, so buyers must confirm their specific phone, tablet or laptop supports USB OTG before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this 3-pack or a single adapter?

The 3-pack gives you three blue USB-C male to USB-A female adapters so you can leave one at a desk, one in a bag and one on a workstation without swapping cables.

What does USB 3.0 support mean for my file transfers?

USB 3.0 protocol lets a connected USB-A drive or peripheral run at its full 5 Gbps link speed when the host port also supports USB 3.0 or higher.

Does the USB-C plug work with Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports?

The adapter is listed as compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports, so it will function as a USB-A connection on those hosts.
