USB-A to USB-C adapter for legacy ports

This 30 cm cable adds a USB 3.0 Type C female port to a computer that only has a USB 3.0 Type A male socket. It enables data transfer and charging for USB-C peripherals, hubs or cables. The reversible connector inserts either way up. The adapter carries USB functionality only.

Suits users connecting USB-C devices to older

Ideal for anyone who needs to plug a USB-C drive, phone or hub into a legacy laptop or desktop. It does not transmit video signals, so it cannot drive HDMI, VGA or other displays. It is not compatible with MagSafe wireless chargers or Apple Mac laptop chargers. Buyers who need video output or MacBook charging should look at a different solution.

Handles 5 Gbps data and standard charging

The link runs at up to 5 Gbps when both ends support USB 3.0, falling back to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0 hosts. Real-world throughput reaches roughly 500 MB/s on 3.0 and 40 MB/s on 2.0 depending on the device and file type. The 30 cm length gives a short, tidy reach for desk use.

Questions about this item

What type of USB-A port does my laptop or PC need for the 5 Gbps speed rating?

The adapter reaches its 5 Gbps ceiling only when plugged into a USB 3.0 Type-A port; a USB 2.0 port will limit transfers to 480 Mbps.

Will this converter let me keep using my USB 2.0 flash drives and peripherals?

Yes — the female USB-C port accepts a USB-C to USB-A cable or hub, so legacy USB 2.0 devices still work at their native 480 Mbps rate.

How can I confirm the link is running at USB 3.0 speeds after I plug it in?

Copy a large file and check the transfer rate; sustained reads near 500 MB/s indicate a 5 Gbps connection, while speeds around 40 MB/s mean it has fallen back to USB 2.0.
