Three-pack USB-C to USB 3.0 adapters

This three-pack provides USB-C male to USB-A female adapters for connecting standard USB peripherals to USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports. Each adapter supports USB On-The-Go so phones, tablets and laptops can read flash drives, keyboards, mice and external hard drives. The blue 14 AWG cables are designed to sit side-by-side without blocking adjacent ports.

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed up to 5Gbps

Data transfers reach 5Gbps, ten times the throughput of USB 2.0, making HD video and large file copies practical. The adapters follow USB-IF specifications, though the supplier notes that not every USB-C device meets those same tolerances, so insertion force and lateral play can vary between hosts.

Replaces single USB-A dongles

Carrying three adapters removes the need to swap a single dongle between desk, bag and travel kit. The upgrade is worth it when you regularly connect multiple USB-A peripherals — drives, keyboards, mice — to USB-C only devices and want a spare at each location.

Questions about this item

How many adapters come in the pack and what wire gauge are they?

The pack contains three adapters, each built with 14 AWG wiring.

What does the 5 Gbps transfer rate mean when I copy files to a drive?

It allows SuperSpeed USB 3.0 transfers up to 5 Gbps, so large video files move roughly ten times faster than USB 2.0.

Which USB standard does the female port use and what speed does it cap at?

The female port is USB 3.0, limiting connected devices to a maximum of 5 Gbps data throughput.
