CableCreation USB 3.1 USB-C Female to USB-A Male Adapter 3-Pack

SKU CH-495W-ATYEY

Three adapters convert USB-A ports to USB-C for data transfer up to 5 Gbps

  • Adds USB-C ports to legacy USB-A computers
  • 5 Gbps data transfer via VL160 chipset
  • Three adapters included for multiple devices
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable contact
  • Designed for data only, not charging

USB-C Female to USB-A Male Adapter Pack

This three-pack adds a USB Type-C female port to legacy USB-A laptops or desktops, letting you connect USB-C cables, hubs and peripherals. Each adapter is intended for data transfer only and does not support charging. The male USB-A end plugs into the host computer, while the female USB-C end accepts the target device. Buyers needing power delivery or video output should look elsewhere.

5 Gbps Data Throughput with VL160 Chipset

A built-in VL160 smart chipset enables double-sided USB 3.0 and USB-C data transfers up to 5 Gbps when connected to a USB 3.0 port. Performance drops to USB 2.0 speeds if the host only offers a 2.0 interface. The adapter cannot exceed the bandwidth of the port it occupies, so older systems will see reduced throughput. No driver installation is required for basic operation.

Gold-Plated Connector and Lifetime Cable Warranty

Gold-plated USB-C plugs provide 100% contact efficiency for reliable signal integrity. The package includes three identical adapters, allowing simultaneous use on multiple machines or spares for travel. CableCreation backs all cables with a lifetime warranty and customer support. No additional software, drivers or accessories are bundled.

Questions about this item

Will this adapter work with my older laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the USB 3.0 Type-A male plug is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports on your laptop, though data transfer will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

How can I verify I am getting the 5Gbps Super Speed after connecting a USB-C device?

Connect the adapter to a USB 3.0 Type-A port on your PC, attach a USB 3.0 or 3.1 Type-C device, and check the connection speed in your operating system's device manager or run a file transfer test.

What comes in the 3-pack and do I need any extra cables to use it?

The pack contains three USB 3.1 Type-C female to Type-A male adapters. You will need your own USB Type-C cables or Type-C peripherals to connect to the female ports.
