What this adapter does

The EN-Labs adapter converts a USB 3.0 Type-A male port into a USB-C female socket. It lets you connect USB-C cables or devices to older computers, chargers or hubs that only have a standard USB-A socket. The unit supports both data synchronisation and charging in a single compact dongle.

Installation and common issues

Simply plug the Type-A end into the host port and insert your USB-C cable into the female side; no drivers are required. The adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 hosts. Note that the USB-C socket has two orientation-dependent speeds: one side runs at USB 3.0 super-speed up to 5 Gbps, while the flipped side falls back to USB 2.0 high-speed. If throughput seems low, reverse the USB-C plug.

Who should buy it and who should not

This dongle suits users who need to attach a USB-C flash drive, phone or peripheral to a legacy USB-A port without replacing cables. It is not for buyers who require guaranteed USB 3.1 performance regardless of plug orientation, nor for anyone needing a female Type-A to male Type-C conversion.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the adapter is running at 5 Gbps after plugging it in?

Connect a USB 3.0 Type-C device and verify the operating system reports a 5 Gbps link; if it shows a lower speed, flip the Type-C plug to the other orientation.

What comes in the box and is anything else needed?

The package contains the 8-inch black USB 3.0 Type-A male to USB 3.1 Type-C female adapter; no extra cables or drivers are required.

Which version should I choose for full 5 Gbps performance?

Select the USB 3.1 Type-C female version; the port delivers 5 Gbps on one side and falls back to USB 2.0 on the reverse side.
