USB 3.1 Type-A to USB-C Adapter

This compact adapter converts a USB 3.1 Type-A male port into a USB-C female receptacle. It enables data sync and PD fast charging for USB-C flash drives, enclosures, phones and headsets. The black housing measures 1.2 by .3 inches. It suits users who need to connect USB-C peripherals to legacy Type-A ports on PCs, laptops or power adapters.

Build Integration and Port Flexibility

Plug the Type-A male end into any USB 3.1 or USB 3.0 Type-A female header on a computer or charger. The USB-C female end accepts standard USB-C male cables or devices, freeing you from carrying a dedicated Type-A to Type-C cable. It supports USB-C audio headsets with microphone pass-through. The adapter requires no drivers and adds negligible bulk to a travel kit.

Sustained Transfer Behaviour

The USB-C female port delivers 10 Gbps on one insertion side and falls back to 480 Mbps on the other. Flipping the USB-C plug changes the active lane, so consistent high-speed throughput depends on correct orientation. Under continuous load the link remains at the negotiated rate without thermal throttling. Users who need guaranteed 10 Gbps in both orientations should note this asymmetry.

Questions about this item

How fast does data move if the Type-C plug is inserted the wrong way up?

The flipped orientation drops the link to USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps instead of the 10 Gbps available on the correct side.

Does the adapter get warm or draw extra power during all-day transfers?

The tiny 1.2 by 0.3 inch body has no active cooling and draws only the bus power required by the connected device.

What must the host already provide for this adapter to function?

A USB 3.1 Type-A female port that can supply 3.1 10 Gbps signalling and enough current for PD charging.
