Compact USB-A to USB-C Adapter

The biaze A168-US is a blue USB converter that plugs into a standard USB-A port and provides a USB-C female socket for connecting newer peripherals. It supports data transfer up to 10 Gbps and charging up to 3 A with compatible power sources. A built-in DAC chip enables audio output through USB-C headphones when plugged into a computer.

Suits Users Adding USB-C Ports to Legacy Hardware

This adapter works for anyone needing to connect USB-C flash drives, headphones, hubs, or smartphones to a laptop or desktop that only offers USB-A sockets. It is not for buyers who need a female USB-A receptacle, video output, or bandwidth beyond 10 Gbps. Users requiring a longer cable run or multiple ports should consider a hub instead.

10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Data Rate

The single specification that decides fit is the 10 Gbps transfer ceiling, which matches USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance and is twice the speed of USB 3.0. If your workflow moves large video files or backups and demands sustained throughput above 1050 MB/s, this adapter will bottleneck the connection. For basic file sync, charging, and audio it meets the requirement.
