SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps OTG Adapter 2-Pack

SKU CH-C1HK-W2DHG

Two USB-C to USB-A adapters add legacy ports with 10 Gbps transfer speed and OTG support for drives, keyboards and mice

  • USB 3.2 Gen2 enables 10Gbps transfer speed for rapid file backup
  • Two-pack provides spare adapter for home and travel use
  • OTG function connects USB-A drives and peripherals directly to USB-C devices
  • Aluminium alloy shell tested for 10000 plug cycles resists wear
  • Slim profile allows side-by-side fit without blocking adjacent ports

USB-C to USB-A OTG adapter

This USB-C male to USB-A female adapter adds legacy USB-A connectivity to USB-C smartphones, tablets and laptops. It supports OTG function so flash drives, portable SSDs, external hard drives, keyboards, mice, card readers and game controllers work directly without a hub. The two-pack provides a spare for travel or a second workstation.

USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps interface limit

The adapter complies with the USB 3.2 Gen2 standard for a maximum 10Gbps data rate, which is 20× faster than USB 2.0. Full 10Gbps speed only occurs when both the host and the connected device also support USB 3.2 Gen2; otherwise the link falls back to USB 3.1, 3.0 or 2.0 speeds. Thunderbolt 3 and 4 hosts are compatible.

Capacity and headroom for large transfers

Aluminum housing is lab-tested for over 10000 plug-unplug cycles, giving durable daily use. The slim profile allows two adapters side-by-side without blocking adjacent ports on thin devices. It comfortably handles large-capacity file backups, 4K video offloads and photo libraries, but cannot exceed the 10Gbps ceiling of the USB 3.2 Gen2 specification.

Questions about this item

Should I get the 2-pack or would a single adapter be enough?

The product is sold as a 2-pack containing two identical USB-C male to USB-A female OTG adapters; keep one at your desk and carry the other for travel without buying twice.

What does the 10Gbps rating mean when I copy files to a USB-A drive?

You can reach up to 10Gbps transfer speed when both the host device and the connected USB-A peripheral support USB 3.2 Gen2; otherwise the link falls back to USB 3.1, 3.0 or 2.0 speeds.

Does the USB 3.2 Gen2 interface cap performance on Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports?

The adapter is USB 3.2 Gen2 compliant and works on Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports, but its maximum throughput remains 10Gbps because that is the limit of the USB 3.2 Gen2 standard it implements.
