Three-Pack USB-C to USB-A 3.0 Adapters

This pack contains three grey adapters that convert a USB-C port into a USB-A 3.0 socket. Each unit features a USB-C male plug on one end and a USB-A female port on the other. The aluminium alloy housing is designed to sit flush so two adapters can occupy adjacent ports without interference. They support USB 3.0 data transfer and USB On-The-Go functionality for compatible hosts.

Suits Users With Legacy USB-A Peripherals

Buyers who need to connect standard USB-A flash drives, keyboards, mice or cables to modern USB-C only laptops, tablets or phones will find this three-pack convenient. The compact form factor allows side-by-side use on tightly spaced ports. This product is not for users who require a USB-C female port, video output, power delivery pass-through or Thunderbolt data rates beyond USB 3.0 speeds.

USB 3.0 Data Rate Defines Compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this adapter fits a workflow is the USB 3.0 interface rating. It governs the maximum theoretical bandwidth available for connected USB-A devices. If the host port or the peripheral operates only at USB 2.0 speeds, the link will negotiate down accordingly. No other protocol or alternate mode is supported by these converters.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the 3-pack or would a single adapter be enough?

The listing is sold as a 3-pack with three USB-C male to USB-A female adapters, so you receive three units in one package.

What does USB 3.0 support mean for file transfers on my laptop?

USB 3.0 support enables data rates up to 5 Gbps, so large files move significantly faster than with USB 2.0 when the drive and port also support 3.0.

Will these work with a Thunderbolt 4 port on a MacBook Pro?

Yes, the adapters are compatible with Thunderbolt 4 ports because Thunderbolt 4 carries USB 3.0 signals through the same USB-C connector.
