USB-C to USB-A adapter for laptops and phones

This 18 cm adapter adds a USB 3.0 Type-A port to devices with a USB-C connector. It supports OTG on Android phones and works plug-and-play on laptops. The aluminium connector housings improve durability. It is intended for data transfer rather than charging.

Passive design with 5 Gbps data rate

The adapter uses the USB 3.0 standard for a maximum sync speed of 5 Gbps, ten times faster than USB 2.0. No external power or drivers are required during normal use. The short cable keeps voltage drop low and produces no fan noise or heat of its own.

18 cm cable and aluminium connectors included

The bundled 18 cm (7.1 inch) cable allows the adapter to reach ports without straining them. Aluminium shells on both ends resist wear from repeated insertion. No software, drivers or additional accessories are supplied in the package.

Questions about this item

How do I connect this adapter to my USB-C laptop and what step do users often miss?

Plug the USB-C male end into the laptop port and attach a USB-A peripheral to the female end; the step often missed is confirming the laptop supports USB 3.0 OTG before purchase.

What maintenance or replacement will this 18 cm adapter need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the adapter only if the aluminum connector housing becomes loose or the cable sheath shows wear.

What is the first limit I will hit during sustained 5 Gbps file transfers?

The 5 Gbps USB 3.0 interface is the bottleneck; sustained throughput will not exceed that rate regardless of the attached drive.
