What it does and who needs it

This Fervit adapter connects a USB 3.1 Type C device to a USB 3.0 Type A host port. It handles data and charging for phones, tablets or external hard drives. The USB-C plug is reversible for easy insertion. The USB-A end must be the host; the adapter will not work in the opposite direction.

Speed ceiling and limits

Rated at 10Gbps, it supports USB 3.0 data rates and power delivery for typical peripherals. It cannot carry video, audio or alternate-mode signals required by some USB-C docks or displays. Bandwidth is limited to the USB 3.0 specification of the host port.

Heat, noise and power

The adapter has no active cooling and draws power only from the host port. It runs silently and stays cool during normal file transfers or device charging. No external power supply is needed or supported.
