Adapter purpose

The Tripp Lite U329-000 is a USB 3.0 adapter that converts a male USB-A port into a female USB-C receptacle. It lets users connect a USB-C cable to a computer, laptop or tablet that only offers a USB-A socket. The converter is designed for charging and synchronising data on legacy USB-A devices.

Upgrade path

This converter replaces the need for a dedicated USB-C port on the host device. The jump is worth it when a USB-C peripheral or cable must be used with older USB-A equipment. Data transfer speeds reach up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0, while power output is supported up to 900mA. It remains backward compatible with previous USB generations.

Build fit

The nickel-plated connectors provide a reversible USB-C port for fumble-free connection. The adapter requires an available USB-A port on the host and a standard USB-C cable on the peripheral side. It frees up the need for a native USB-C port on the computer and allows existing USB-A hardware to work with newer USB-C accessories without replacing the host device.

Questions about this item

Will the male USB 3.0 Type-A plug fit my laptop's standard rectangular port?

Yes, the converter uses a male USB 3.0 Type-A connector that inserts into any standard USB-A receptacle on a laptop, desktop or tablet.

I plug the male USB-A end into the computer and then connect my USB-C cable into the female port — is that the correct order?

Insert the male USB 3.0 Type-A plug into the host device first, then attach your USB-C cable to the female USB-C port; reversing the order does not damage the adapter but the host will not detect the peripheral until the Type-A side is seated.

The adapter draws up to 900 mA from the USB-A port — will that wear the port out faster than a regular cable?

The 900 mA limit matches the USB 3.0 specification, so normal use does not stress the host port beyond its design rating; no periodic replacement of the adapter is required.
