USB-A to USB-C adapter for legacy ports

Connect a USB-C cable to a standard USB-A port on a computer, laptop or tablet. The adapter supports data transfer up to 5 Gbps, which is ten times faster than USB 2.0. Gold-plated contacts and moulded connectors provide reliable conductivity and reduce data loss during use.

Replaces direct USB-C port access on older hardware

The converter lets you keep using existing USB-A devices when only a USB-C cable is available. It is backward compatible with earlier USB generations, so the speed increase is worthwhile whenever a 5 Gbps link is needed instead of a slower legacy connection.

Fits slim devices and frees cable orientation

The reversible USB-C female socket accepts the plug in either direction for quick, fumble-free insertion. Its compact, sleek profile suits modern thin-and-light designs without adding bulk. No external power or driver installation is required for operation.
