How to use

Insert the USB A plug of the adapter into the USB A port of your host device or charger, then connect a USB C cable or device to the USB C side. Ensure both connected devices support the intended USB version for data transfer or charging. Since the adapter is a passive gender changer, it does not alter protocol beyond physical conversion; connect devices carefully and avoid forcing incompatible plugs.

Use compliant USB cables and verify device compatibility before transferring important data or high-current charging. Avoid exposing the adapter to excessive bending, moisture, or extreme temperatures to maintain reliable connections and prolong service life.
