USB-C Female to USB-A Male Adapter

This LUOM adapter converts a standard USB-A port into a USB-C female receptacle, letting legacy laptops and PCs connect to USB-C devices. It supports 5 Gbps data transfer over USB 3.0 and includes a 56 kΩ resistor for safe charging. The aluminium housing adds durability while the integrated keychain keeps the tiny dongle handy.

For adding USB-C ports to older systems

It suits users who need to plug USB-C flash drives, phones or tablets into computers that only have USB-A sockets. Backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 covers older hosts. It is not for buyers who require video output, power delivery input or a second USB-C port, as the adapter only provides a single USB-C female connector.

5 Gbps maximum data rate

The headline specification is the 5 Gbps transfer ceiling when connected to a USB 3.0 port, dropping to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds on older hosts. This figure decides whether the adapter meets the bandwidth needs of a given USB-C peripheral.

Questions about this item

What maximum data-transfer speed does the USB 3.0 interface of this adapter support?

The adapter reaches up to 5 Gbps when plugged into a USB 3.0 port and falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds on older ports.

What physical space does the adapter need on the host USB-A port?

Its ultra-compact aluminium housing plugs directly onto the end of a USB-A socket and adds only a tiny protrusion, so it fits alongside neighbouring ports.

How is the adapter installed, and what step do users sometimes miss?

Simply insert the USB-A male end into the host port — no driver is required — but the keychain loop must not block the USB-C female opening when a cable is attached.
