USB 3.0 Type-A to USB 3.1 Type-C Adapter

This right-angled adapter connects a USB 3.1 Type-C device to a USB 3.0 Type-A host port. It supports a 10Gbps data transfer rating and power delivery for charging. The 90-degree angle eases connection in tight spaces around the port. The Type-C plug features a reversible orientation.

Suited for adding a Type-C peripheral to a legacy

It suits users linking external hard drives, phones or tablets to a laptop or desktop with a standard USB-A socket. The connector direction is fixed: the Type-C end must be the device and the Type-A end must be the host. Buyers who need video or audio passthrough, or a USB-C host to USB-A device connection, cannot use this adapter.

Fixed host-to-device direction

The adapter only transfers USB 3.0 data and power; it cannot carry video, audio or other alternate modes. The USB-C connector must attach to the peripheral and the USB-A connector to the host computer. Reversing this roles will not function. This single constraint decides whether the part fits the intended setup.

Questions about this item

Will the 10 Gbps rating be reached when I plug this into a USB 3.0 Type-A port?

No. The adapter passes USB 3.0 data and power only, so a USB 3.0 Type-A host limits the link to 5 Gbps. The 10 Gbps figure applies when both ends support USB 3.1 Gen 2.

Does the USB 3.1 Type-C connector carry video or audio signals through the adapter?

No. The adapter only transfers USB 3.0 data and power; it cannot pass video, audio or other alternate-mode signals from a USB-C device to the USB-A host.

How much clearance does the 90-degree angle need behind the port?

The right-angled Type-C plug lets you connect in tight spaces where a straight cable would hit an obstruction, but the exact clearance required depends on the device chassis.
