USB-A to USB-C Adapter ShiverPeaks 14-05032, USB 3.0, black

The ShiverPeaks USB-A to USB-C Adapter (model 14-05032) converts a standard USB-A port into a USB-C connection while supporting USB 3.0 data transfer speeds. This compact, lightweight adapter allows USB-C devices — such as smartphones, tablets, external drives and peripherals — to connect to older hosts with USB-A ports for data syncing and charging. The adapter is designed with a durable black housing and a reversible USB-C receptacle to simplify plug-in from either side.

Advantages

This adapter provides backward compatibility between USB-A hosts and USB-C devices without requiring a new cable. It supports USB 3.0 transfer rates for faster data synchronization compared to USB 2.0 adapters, while its small form factor makes it convenient for travel and daily carry. The reversible USB-C connector reduces user frustration when plugging devices in, and the solid housing offers reliable mechanical durability for frequent insertion and removal.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C smartphones, tablets or accessories to laptops and desktops with USB-A ports
• Accessing data on USB-C flash drives or external SSDs from older computers
• Charging USB-C devices from USB-A power sources (subject to host power output)
• Using USB-C peripherals such as mice, keyboards or adapters with legacy systems

Key specifications

• Interface conversion: USB-A (male) to USB-C (female)
• USB standard: USB 3.0 data transfer support
• Color and material: black housing, durable plastic construction
• Form factor: compact and lightweight inline adapter
• Connector orientation: reversible USB-C receptacle for plug-in convenience

How to use

Insert the USB-A male plug into an available USB-A port on your laptop, desktop or charger. Plug the USB-C cable or device into the adapter's USB-C receptacle, ensuring the USB-C connector is fully seated. The adapter supports data transfer and charging according to the capabilities of the connected devices and the host port; no driver installation is typically required for standard USB mass storage and charging functions. Remove the adapter by gently pulling the USB-A end from the host port when finished.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect devices using quality USB-C cables and ensure the host USB-A port supports USB 3.0 speeds when transferring large files. Charging speed depends on the host's power output — use a USB-A port or charger with sufficient current for faster charging. Avoid applying side force to connectors and store the adapter in a protective pouch when not in use to prolong its service life.
