What this adapter does

This USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-A female adapter adds a standard USB-A port to devices with a USB-C connector. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps and enables OTG functionality for compatible smartphones and tablets. The 8-inch cable length keeps the setup compact for travel or desk use.

Who it suits and who it does not

It suits users who need to connect USB-A flash drives, card readers, keyboards or printers to a USB-C laptop or phone that supports OTG. It is not for buyers who require a longer cable reach, a right-angle connector, or a hub with multiple ports.

The deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.1 Gen 1 5 Gbps data rate combined with OTG support on the host device. If your USB-C device does not implement OTG, the adapter will not function for mobile storage or peripheral connections.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter come with any extra cables or do I need to buy a USB-A flash drive separately?

The package contains only the 8-inch USB-C to USB-A female adapter cable; any USB-A peripheral such as a flash drive, card reader or keyboard must be supplied by you.

The listing mentions USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0 — which version should I choose for 5 Gbps speed?

Both labels refer to the same 5 Gbps specification, so the single adapter model delivers that speed without a version choice.

Will the 5 Gbps rating be reached when I plug a USB 3.0 flash drive into my 2016 MacBook through this adapter?

Yes, the adapter supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 5 Gbps and is compatible with the 2016 MacBook, so a USB 3.0 drive can operate at its full rated throughput.
