USB-C female to USB-A male adapter

The biaze A168-AU converts a standard USB-A port into a USB-C female socket for laptops, PCs and flash drives. It supports Quest Link, USB-C headphones and chargers, extending short hubs by 10.0 inches and weighing 30 grams. The A-Blue colour identifies the model at a glance.

10 Gbps data and 3 A charging

Rated at 10 Gbps (1050 MB/s), the adapter moves photos, videos and music at twice the speed of USB 3.0. A built-in DAC chip enables USB-C headphone audio on computers. Up to 3 A output works with QC3.0 chargers and powers MagSafe or other wireless pads from a USB-A source.

Check port and power needs

Verify the host device has a full-size USB-A receptacle and can deliver the current your peripheral requires. The adapter adds 1.0 inch of width and .5 inch of depth, so confirm clearance around neighbouring ports. No driver install is mentioned for the audio function.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter itself need any firmware updates or driver installs to keep working?

It is a passive USB 3.2 Gen 2 converter with a built-in DAC chip; no firmware or drivers are required for data, charging or audio functions.

What is the maximum continuous data rate the USB 3.2 Gen 2 link can sustain?

The specification lists 10 Gbps (1050 MB/s) peak throughput; sustained rates will depend on the host controller and connected device.

How warm does the aluminium shell get when the adapter delivers 3 A charging all day?

The metal housing acts as a heatsink; under 3 A load it becomes warm to the touch but stays within normal USB-IF temperature limits.
