USB Type-C to USB Type-A Adapter Connects an Existing USB Device to Your USB-C Laptop This six-inch USB Type-C to Type-A adapter allows you to connect USB devices to your smartphone, tablet, laptop, MacBook, Chromebook or Ultrabook's USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. USB wall chargers, hard drives, memory sticks, printers and other peripherals with USB-A ports will be able to communicate with your computer or other USB-C mobile device. PD Charging Cable Charges Devices and Transfers Data at Fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 Speeds The USB-C to USB-A adapter supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The Power Delivery cable also provides power output up to 3 amps (60 watts), which is more than sufficient for charging, syncing and powering compatible devices. The cable is backward compatible with previous USB generations, allowing you to use it with older USB 3.0, USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 equipment. Reversible USB-C Connector Attaches in Either Direction Unlike traditional USB cables that connect in only one direction, the reversible USB-C male connector plugs into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in either direction for a fumble-free connection every time. Right-Angle USB-C Plug Makes Connecting in Tight Spaces Easier The space-saving right-angle USB-C plug is easy to install in confined spaces, such as behind your computer desk or workstation. The right-angle construction also relieves strain on the cable and connector and prevents the cable from bending awkwardly.
