USB-C Female to USB-A Male Adapter

This adapter converts a standard USB-A port on a laptop or desktop into a USB-C female socket. It enables data transfer between legacy USB-A hosts and newer USB-C cables or devices. The product is aimed at users who need to connect USB-C peripherals to older computers without native USB-C ports.

Gold-Plated Connector with VL160 Chipset

The USB-C plug features gold plating for 100% contact efficiency and reliable signal integrity. A built-in VL160 smart chipset manages double-sided data transfer at speeds up to 5Gbps when connected to a USB 3.0 host port. The USB-A male end must be plugged into the host device only and is not intended for connection to target peripherals.

Broad Device Compatibility Listed

The adapter supports a wide range of USB-C devices including Logitech StreamCam, Samsung Galaxy S8 series, Google Pixel phones, HTC 10, LG G5/G6/V20, OnePlus models, Motorola handsets, Lenovo Zuk Z1, Asus ZenPad tablets and Nokia N1. It is designed strictly for data transfer and cannot carry video signals or extend external monitors.
