USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter

The Monoprice 147584 adapter converts a legacy USB-A port into a USB-C female receptacle. It suits users who need to connect modern USB-C cables or peripherals to older computers, chargers or hubs that only offer USB-A sockets. Data transfer operates at up to 10 Gbps under the USB 3.2 Gen 2 specification. The adapter also supports charging currents up to 2A for compatible devices.

Reversible USB-C Connector and Durability

A reversible USB-C downstream connector removes the frustration of checking orientation before every insertion. The unit is rated to withstand 10,000 plug-and-unplug cycles, indicating a robust internal chipset and housing built for frequent daily use. Its compact black shell adds minimal bulk, so adjacent ports remain accessible and the adapter travels easily in a laptop bag or pocket.

Broad Device Compatibility

The adapter works with smartphones, tablets, laptops, external drives and other USB-C peripherals across major brands. It bridges the gap between existing USB-A infrastructure and newer USB-C gear without requiring replacement cables or docks. Backward compatibility with USB 3.0 and earlier standards ensures functionality even on older host ports.
