How to use

Insert the USB-C plug into the USB-C port of your host device. Connect the USB-A peripheral into the adapter's USB-A female port. The host device should recognise the connected peripheral automatically and make it available for use. For data transfers with external drives or flash media, ensure the host device supports the required file system and power delivery for the peripheral; for smartphones, enable OTG functionality if required in system settings.

Recommendations

Use the adapter with compatible USB-C hosts that support the USB 3.2 standard to achieve the best transfer speeds. Avoid excessive bending or stress on the adapter connection while in use to prevent mechanical damage. When connecting high-power peripherals, verify that the host provides sufficient power or use a dedicated powered hub if necessary.
