How to use

Insert the USB‑C plug of your device into the USB‑C receptacle of the gender changer and then plug the USB‑A end into the host port. Ensure both devices are powered off or that connections are made according to the power state recommended by your device manufacturers when performing initial transfers. For charging, verify the power output of the USB‑A source and the charging requirements of the USB‑C device before connecting.

Recommendations

Use this passive adapter for short, direct connections and data transfers. Avoid subjecting it to heavy mechanical stress, twisting, or prolonged exposure to moisture. For sustained high-power USB-C PD charging or features requiring USB-C alternate modes (video, DisplayPort Alt Mode), use a purpose-built cable or active adapter that explicitly lists those capabilities.
