Everyday use

The USB-A plug connects to a suitable USB-A port, while the USB-C socket accepts a USB-C connector. This makes the adapter useful when the device or accessory you want to connect has a different connector from the available port. Rather than replacing a USB-A cable with a new cable, you can use this adapter to bridge the connection.

For example, connect a compatible USB-C phone to a computer to transfer photos, or use a USB-C peripheral with a USB-A port. The adapter is designed for plug-and-play use, so there is no app to install before getting started. It can also be used for charging, the actual transfer rate depends on the devices and cable in the connection.

Where it shines

This adapter suits people who regularly switch between USB-A ports and USB-C devices. At a desk, it can connect a compatible phone or tablet to a computer for file transfers. When travelling, its compact form makes it handy for carrying alongside a USB-C cable or peripheral, without needing a separate adapter for each connection.
