USB-C to USB-A 3.2 adapter for peripheral

The Ugreen 70889 adapter converts a USB-C port into a USB-A 3.2 receptacle so you can attach flash drives, external hard drives, keyboards, mice and similar accessories. It is aimed at laptop, tablet and phone users who still rely on legacy USB-A devices and need a compact bridge without installing drivers.

Nylon-braided cable with aluminium housing

A short, tangle-resistant nylon braid and a wear-resistant aluminium shell protect the conductors during frequent plugging and unplugging. The wired layout keeps the adapter body clear of neighbouring USB-C ports and reduces the chance of losing the tiny dongle in a bag or pocket.

10 Gbps ceiling and 2 A charge limit define

Data throughput tops out at 10 Gbps, which is twenty times the 480 Mbps ceiling of USB 2.0 but well below the 40 Gbps potential of Thunderbolt 3. The USB-A port supplies up to 2 A for charging connected devices, so power-hungry peripherals may need their own supply.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface on this adapter actually reach 10 Gbps in real use?

The adapter is rated for 10 Gbps over USB 3.2 Gen 2, so it can hit that ceiling when both the host port and the connected device also support 10 Gbps; slower ports will drop to their own maximum.

What clearance does the aluminium shell need beside a laptop’s USB-C port?

The braided cable and aluminium housing add roughly 15 mm beyond the port face, so keep at least that much free space to avoid blocking the adjacent socket.

Is there a specific orientation for the USB-C plug when I insert it?

USB-C is reversible, so either side works; the step people miss is pushing the plug all the way home until the metal shell seats flush, otherwise the 10 Gbps link may not negotiate.
