Two-pack USB-C to USB-A adapters

The Targus ACA979GL two-pack provides a pair of compact adapters that let legacy USB-A peripherals connect to modern USB-C ports. Each unit converts a USB-A plug to a USB-C receptacle so mice, keyboards or flash drives work with newer laptops and tablets without cable replacement.

Suits users with USB-A accessories and USB-C hosts

Buyers who own USB-A mice, keyboards or flash drives and use devices equipped with USB-C ports will find this pair convenient. Anyone needing video output, power delivery negotiation or multi-port expansion from a single connection should consider a different type of accessory.

Up to 5 Gbps data transfer with USB 3.2 Gen 1

The adapters support USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps and USB 3.2 Gen 1 at up to 5 Gbps, so the maximum transfer speed of the connected peripheral determines actual performance. If a workflow demands sustained throughput above 5 Gbps, this adapter will not meet that requirement.
