SKU CH-98T1-MZS4D

Three adapters convert USB-A peripherals to USB-C hosts with 5 Gbps data transfer and OTG support

  • Connect legacy USB-A peripherals to modern USB-C hosts
  • Three adapters included for multi-device convenience
  • USB 3.1 Gen1 enables up to 5 Gbps data transfer
  • OTG support lets phones and tablets act as hosts
  • Sapphire aluminium housing resists wear and aids heat dissipation

USB-C to USB 3.0 Adapter 3-Pack

This three-pack provides USB-C to USB-A adapters for connecting legacy peripherals to modern devices. Each adapter accepts a USB-A plug from cameras, flash drives, keyboards or mice and mates with a USB-C host port on laptops, tablets or phones. The set suits users who need multiple adapters for home, office and travel bags.

Thermals noise and power

Passive aluminium housings dissipate the minimal heat generated during USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfers up to 5 Gbps. No active cooling is present, so operation remains completely silent. The adapters draw power only from the host port and add negligible load to the device’s battery during normal file sync or peripheral use.

Sapphire aluminium build and connectors

The sapphire-coloured aluminium shells resist wear and shield the internal contacts from electromagnetic interference. USB-C male plugs insert either way for quick attachment, while the USB-A female ports hold standard connectors firmly. OTG support lets compatible phones or tablets act as hosts for drives or input devices without extra cables.

Questions about this item

How do I install the USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter and what is the common mistake?

Plug the USB-C male end into the host device and the USB-A device into the female port; the common mistake is reversing the host and peripheral sides since Type-C is host-only.

What maintenance or replacement will the adapter need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the adapter if the USB-A port becomes loose or the aluminum housing shows physical damage affecting the connection.

What limit appears first during sustained high-speed transfers?

The 5 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen1 bandwidth ceiling is reached before any thermal or protocol limit during continuous large-file copies.
