USB-A to USB-C OTG Adapter

The VIFIGEN adapter converts a USB-C port into a standard USB-A socket so phones, tablets and laptops can read flash drives, keyboards, mice, cameras or game controllers without drivers or external power. It is aimed at mobile creators and travellers who need instant access to legacy USB peripherals from a modern Type-C device.

USB 3.1 Gen 1 at 5 Gbps

The single specification that decides suitability is the 5 Gbps data rate, labelled USB 3.1 Gen 1 in the supplier data, which is ten times faster than USB 2.0 and sufficient for moving HD video or large photo libraries from a flash drive or camera to an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro or recent Android flagship.

Passive design with no active cooling

Because the dongle draws power only from the host port and contains no fan or heatsink, it runs silently and adds negligible thermal load during normal file transfers or peripheral use. The 0.21 lb weight and plug-and-play operation mean it stays cool and quiet whether connected to a MacBook Air 2022, iPad Pro 12.9-inch or Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Questions about this item

How fast does the 5 Gbps rating actually move files when I plug a flash drive into my phone?

The adapter runs at USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps, which is ten times faster than USB 2.0, so large videos and photo batches transfer in seconds rather than minutes.

What does the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface limit in real use?

The USB 3.1 Gen 1 connection caps the data path at 5 Gbps and does not add video output or alternate modes; it only carries USB data and charging current.

Will the 0.21 lb dongle block adjacent ports on my MacBook Air or iPad Pro?

The compact male USB-C plug and female USB-A socket add minimal bulk, leaving neighbouring ports free on MacBook Air 2020‑2023, MacBook Pro 2020‑2023, iPad Pro 11‑inch and 12.9‑inch models.
