What this cable does

This USB-C to USB-A adapter connects a USB-C host to standard USB-A peripherals. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data rates for everyday file transfers and device charging. The 5.5 in length keeps desktop clutter low. It is built for users who need a short, reliable link between new ports and legacy accessories.

Practical limits of USB 3.1 Gen 1

The interface caps throughput at 5 Gbps, so large multi-gigabyte moves take longer than on faster standards. Power delivery follows the base USB 3.1 specification without extended profiles. Cable length is fixed at 5.5 in, which restricts placement to adjacent ports. Active electronics or longer runs are not supported by this passive design.

Deciding specification

The connector pairing is USB-C male to USB-A female, which dictates every compatibility decision. If your host offers only USB-A or your peripheral uses USB-C, this adapter will not fit. Buyers who need the opposite gender arrangement or a different connector type must select another part.
