Three-adapter USB-C to USB-A pack

This three-pack converts USB-C ports to USB-A 3.0 sockets, letting current laptops, tablets and phones connect legacy flash drives, keyboards and other Type-A peripherals. Each adapter has a USB-C male plug on one end and a USB-A 3.0 female port on the other. The set is aimed at users who need several converters for multiple devices or spare units.

Slim aluminium adapters sit side by side

The adapters are built from aluminium alloy with a slim profile that does not block adjacent ports, so two can be used next to each other on tightly spaced USB-C sockets. Weighing 0.02 kilograms each, they add negligible bulk and require no drivers — just plug in and use. The metal housing resists wear from frequent insertion and removal.

USB 3.0 speed ceiling and Thunderbolt host support

Data moves at up to USB 3.0 rates, so large file transfers are limited by that standard rather than the adapter itself. The converters work with hosts that provide Thunderbolt 4 ports, but they do not add Thunderbolt bandwidth or video output. Buyers who need faster 10 Gbit/s or 20 Gbit/s links, or who require alternate-mode video, will need a different class of adapter.

Questions about this item

What USB standard does the adapter support and what speed does that cap at?

The adapter uses the USB 3.0 protocol, so data transfers are limited to the 5 Gbps ceiling of that standard.

What are the exact connectors on each adapter?

Each unit has a USB-C male plug on one end and a USB-A 3.0 female port on the other.

How do you install the adapter and what is the common mistake?

Insert the USB-C male plug into the host port until it clicks; the mistake is stopping at the first resistance instead of seating it fully.
