• Attaching USB-C peripherals (keyboards, mice, card readers) to older PCs and laptops
• Transferring photos, videos and documents between smartphones with USB-C and USB-A hosts

Key specifications

• Interface conversion: USB Type-A (host) to USB Type-C (device)
• Data standard: USB 3.1, up to 10 Gbps
• Compatibility: supports standard USB-C data devices (storage and peripherals)
• Form factor: compact, portable adapter design
• Power: supports standard USB power levels for connected devices (subject to host port capability)

How to use

Insert the USB Type-A connector of the adapter into an available USB-A port on your computer or charger. Connect the USB-C cable or device to the adapter’s USB-C receptacle. The connected device should be recognized automatically by most modern operating systems; use your file manager or device software to access content or perform transfers. For best performance, use with USB 3.1-compliant cables and ports and avoid using hubs or extensions that do not support required data rates.

Recommendations

To achieve the advertised 10 Gbps speeds, connect the adapter to a USB 3.1 (or higher) host port and use a USB-C cable and device that also support USB 3.1. If a connected device requires higher power than the host port can supply, use an externally powered hub or connect to a port with sufficient power delivery capability.
