USB-C to USB-A 3.0 adapter for legacy peripherals

This compact adapter converts a USB-C port into a standard USB-A 3.0 port so you can connect existing flash drives, external hard drives, mice, keyboards, printers or cameras to newer laptops, tablets and smartphones. It is aimed at anyone who needs to keep using USB-A accessories without replacing them.

Fits alongside a second adapter on tight port

The ultra-slim profile leaves enough room for two adapters to sit side by side on closely spaced USB-C ports such as those on a MacBook Pro. No extra cables or power bricks are required; the adapter draws power from the host port and works plug-and-play with laptops, tablets and phones.

Rated for 10000 insertions for long-term daily use

Connectors are engineered to withstand up to 10000 plug cycles, so the adapter remains reliable through frequent connect and disconnect cycles. The scratch-resistant aluminum shell protects the internals from everyday knocks while maintaining full USB 3.0 data speeds during sustained transfers.

Questions about this item

How many times can the USB-C and USB-A 3.0 connectors be plugged and unplugged before wearing out?

The connectors are engineered for up to 10,000 insertion cycles, which Anker rates as basically lifetime durability for daily use.

Does the aluminium body stay cool or get warm during all-day file transfers?

The adapter has no active cooling; its small aluminium shell will warm slightly under sustained USB 3.0 throughput but stays within normal operating temperature for passive devices.

What type of host port must my laptop or tablet have for this adapter to work?

You need an available USB-C port on the host device; the adapter converts that port to a standard USB-A 3.0 socket for peripherals.
