Compact 13cm USB-C Adapter
This 13cm flat FPC cable converts a USB 3.0 Type-A port into a USB 3.1 Type-C female socket. It targets users who need to connect modern Type-C peripherals to older laptops or desktops without internal upgrades. The ultrathin flexible design allows discreet routing in tight spaces. Data transfer reaches up to 10Gbps for quick file syncing.
Replaces Awkward Dongles
The short extension replaces bulky adapters that protrude from the port and strain the connector. The jump is worth it when you want a near-flush connection for flash drives, docks or other Type-C accessories. Its slim profile suits permanent or semi-permanent installations where clearance is limited. The 10Gbps rating matches the USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard for high-speed throughput.
Limited By USB 3.1 Gen 2 Ceiling
The interface caps usable bandwidth at 10Gbps regardless of the peripheral's potential. Power delivery depends entirely on the host Type-A port's output capability, which varies by device. The fixed 13cm length restricts placement to very close-range connections only. No active signal conditioning is present, so signal integrity relies on the host controller quality.

Questions about this item
How much clearance does the 13cm flat FPC cable need to route behind a laptop or desktop panel?
The ultrathin flexible FPC profile is designed for narrow-space hidden wiring, allowing it to bend and tuck into tight gaps behind equipment without forcing the connectors.
Which way round do the USB 3.0 Type-A male and USB 3.1 Type-C female ends plug in for a 10Gbps link?
Insert the Type-A male end into the host USB 3.0 port and the Type-C female end accepts the peripheral; reversing them breaks the data path because the male connector only fits a Type-A receptacle.
Will the USB 3.1 Type-C female port wear out from repeated flash-drive insertions?
The female Type-C receptacle is rated for standard mating cycles; if it eventually loosens, replace the whole 13cm extension cable rather than attempting a repair on the flat FPC assembly.
