SMUGDESK 90 Degree USB-C Female to USB 3.0 A Male Adapter

SKU CH-NDR2-HBS2P

A 90-degree right-angled adapter that converts a USB 3.0 Type-A male port to a USB-C female port for compact peripheral connections

  • 90° low-profile design saves space and protects ports from strain
  • USB 3.0 high-speed transmission with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 and 1.1
  • Converts USB-A male to USB-C female for expanded peripheral connectivity
  • Compact flat body avoids blocking adjacent ports for simultaneous use
  • Driver-free plug-and-play with built-in shielding for stable signal

90-Degree USB-C Adapter for Tight Spaces

This right-angled adapter converts a USB 3.0 Type-A male port into a USB-C female port. The slim horizontal design saves space and reduces stress on the port, making it suitable for laptops and desktops where clearance is limited. It lets you connect Type-C flash drives, phones, or headsets to legacy USB-A sockets. The low-profile body prevents blocking neighbouring ports.

USB 3.0 Speed with Backward Compatibility

The adapter follows the USB 3.0 specification for high-speed data transfer. It remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, so older peripherals still function. Internal shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation during use. No driver installation is required for any supported standard.

Driver-Free Installation and Cable Strain Relief

Simply plug the adapter into a USB-A port and attach your USB-C device; the operating system recognises it immediately. The 90-degree angle prevents excessive bending of connected cables, which protects both the cable and the port over time. The compact flat body allows adjacent ports to remain usable simultaneously. Ensure the host USB-A port supplies sufficient power for the connected peripheral.

Questions about this item

Which version should I choose for the fastest data transfer?

The adapter follows the USB 3.0 specification, so it runs at USB 3.0 speeds when both the host port and the connected device support USB 3.0.

What speed will I actually see when I plug a USB-C SSD into my laptop's USB-A port?

It will operate at USB 3.0 rates if the laptop port and the SSD are both USB 3.0 capable; otherwise it drops to USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 speeds.

Does the USB 3.0 Type-A male connector limit the maximum throughput?

Yes, the USB 3.0 Type-A male end caps the link at USB 3.0 performance, and it is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 hosts.
