Compact USB-C to USB-A adapter

This short cable lets you plug standard USB-A peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards or mice into a USB-C host device. The .5 ft length keeps the connection tidy for mobile use with laptops, tablets or phones.

USB 3.1 Gen1 data limit

The adapter supports up to 5 Gbps transfer speed, which is the ceiling of the Gen1 specification. Actual throughput will be lower when the host or the peripheral only implements USB 2.0 or when cable quality and length introduce signal loss.

Simple plug-in installation

No drivers are required on supported hosts; the OTG function activates automatically on compatible phones and tablets. The main issue is attempting to use the adapter with a USB-C port that does not support OTG or host mode, which prevents the peripheral from being recognised.
