Universal USB-C Connectivity

This 20 cm adapter cable connects USB-C, USB4, Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 laptops, tablets and phones to USB 3.0 peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards and mice. Driverless plug-and-play operation works on Windows 10 or newer, ChromeOS 100 or newer and compatible MacBooks. The short length sits neatly beside adjacent USB-C ports without blocking them.

Build Integration and Port Freedom

The cable adds a single USB 3.0 Type-A port to any host with a USB-C connector, freeing the remaining USB-C sockets for power, video or additional accessories. No external power supply or software installation is required, so the adapter fits into minimal carry kits and desktop docks alike. Backwards compatibility ensures older USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices still function at their native rates.

Upgrade Path and Limits

The adapter replaces bulky multi-port hubs when only one legacy USB 3.0 connection is needed, saving space and reducing cable clutter. It is not suited for users who require multiple simultaneous Type-A ports, video output, Ethernet or card-reader functions. Buyers needing higher 10 Gbps or 20 Gbps throughput should consider a dedicated Thunderbolt or USB4 dock instead.
