Adds USB-C to legacy USB-A ports

This adapter converts a standard USB-A port on an older laptop or desktop into a USB-C female socket. It enables connection of modern USB-C peripherals such as smartphones, tablets, or external drives to systems lacking native USB-C. The device is aimed at users extending the life of legacy hardware.

Sustained 5 Gbps data throughput

When plugged into a USB 3.0 port the adapter supports up to 5 Gbps transfer rates for continuous file moves or backups. Performance falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds if the host port is older. A built-in 56 kΩ resistor protects the internal circuit during extended charging sessions.

Aluminium shell with key-ring loop

The aluminium alloy housing dissipates heat during prolonged use and resists wear from frequent insertion. Its compact form plugs directly onto the end of a USB-A cable or port without adding bulk. A keychain hole allows the adapter to stay tethered to a bag or cable bundle for daily carry.

Questions about this item

Does the 56 kΩ resistor keep the adapter cool and quiet during all-day use?

The adapter has no moving parts and the built-in 56 kΩ resistor protects the circuit, so it runs silently and stays cool under continuous operation.

What must my computer already have for this adapter to work?

Your computer needs a standard USB-A port; the adapter plugs directly into it and requires no drivers or external power.

Will this adapter work with my older USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices?

Yes, it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1, so older peripherals will function at their native speeds.
