Purpose and Audience

The IOGEAR USB-C male to dual USB-A female splitter adds two legacy USB-A ports to a single USB-C socket on laptops, tablets or phones. It is built for users who still rely on older flash drives, keyboards, mice or other USB-A accessories and want a compact, plug-and-play way to connect them.

Fit and Limits

This adapter suits anyone needing two USB-A connections at once from one USB-C port without carrying a larger hub. It will not meet the needs of buyers who require USB 3.0 or higher data rates, more than two downstream ports, or power delivery above the 5 V, 2 A rating shared between the two sockets.

Deciding Specification

The splitter operates at USB 2.0 speeds and supplies a total of 5 V at 2 A, so each port receives up to 1 A when both are used together. This single electrical limit determines whether the adapter can power and communicate with the specific peripherals you intend to attach.

Questions about this item

How do I plug in this 1 ft USB-C male to dual USB-A female splitter so both ports work at once?

Connect the USB-C male end to the host device and attach two USB-A peripherals to the female ports; the adapter draws up to 2 A total so each port receives 1 A when both are used together.

What part of this adapter wears out first and needs replacement?

The copper conductors inside the double-braided nylon cable and the aluminum-shelled connectors are the components that degrade after repeated bending and insertion cycles.

What is the first limit reached when both ports run continuously?

The 5 V 2 A power budget caps combined current at 2 A, so sustained dual-port use hits that ceiling before any thermal or data-rate restriction appears.
