SMUGDESK USB 3.1 Type-C Female to USB 3.0 A Male Data Cable

SKU CH-EY79-BB564

Converts a USB-C female port to a USB 3.0 Type-A male connector for 5 Gbps data transfer and simultaneous charging across Macs, tablets and phones

  • Bidirectional link converts USB-C female to USB-A male for easy device connection
  • 5Gbps bandwidth enables fast file transmission and syncing across compatible devices
  • Stable power and data delivery supports reliable charging while transferring files
  • Universal compatibility works with Mac, tablets, smartphones and other USB-enabled devices
  • Flexible cable construction designed for durable daily portable use

Connector Adaptation

This USB 3.1 Type-C female to USB 3.0 Type-A male cable bridges devices with a USB-C port to standard USB-A hosts. It suits users who need to connect newer peripherals or mobile devices to older laptops, desktops or hubs.

Port Verification

Before ordering, confirm the host side provides a full-size USB 3.0 Type-A receptacle and the device side presents a USB-C female socket. The adapter only functions when both physical interfaces match these exact connector types.

Sustained Transfer Behaviour

Rated at 5 Gbps, the link maintains consistent throughput during long file moves or backups rather than peaking briefly. Simultaneous power delivery remains stable throughout extended sessions without voltage droop.

Questions about this item

Does the SMUGDESK cable include a USB-C male plug or do I need a separate adapter?

The cable has a USB-C female port and a USB 3.0 Type-A male plug, so you only need your existing USB-C cable to complete the connection.

Should I choose this 5 Gbps model or a slower version for my Mac and phone?

This single model delivers up to 5 Gbps over USB 3.0, which is the fastest speed the adapter supports for both Mac and mobile devices.

Will I actually see 5 Gbps throughput when I plug this into my laptop?

Real-world speed depends on the host port, the connected device and the cable you attach, but the adapter itself is rated for USB 3.0 5 Gbps operation.
