⚖️ Compare features with other products of your choice

The adapter is ideal for anyone who frequently uses newer phones, tablets or laptops with USB-C ports and still needs access to USB-A devices, such as classic USB sticks, mice or keyboards. It will be especially useful if you want to activate the OTG function on your smartphone and, for example, directly view the contents of a USB stick or control a mouse.

It turns your everyday digital tasks into pure “easy mode” – with support for USB 3.2 Gen 1, it enables data transfer at speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s. The adapter’s aluminum housing not only provides cool styling, but also provides additional durability and protection against damage. The adapter comes in a stylish silver color that matches most modern devices.

The connection works on the plug & play principle, which means no complicated settings or additional drivers - just plug and play. It also stands out for its OTG (on the go) support, which allows you to directly use external devices (USB sticks, mice, keyboards, card readers) on your phone or tablet with USB-C without additional adapters or power supplies.

If you're looking for a simple and highly functional interface between advanced and legacy devices, this adapter is a reliable solution for everyday connectivity - at home, school or the office. The result is less frustration when searching for the right cable and more options for quickly sharing or using your data, wherever you are.

It is important to know

When choosing a USB-C to USB-A adapter, it's crucial to really check which device and port are compatible with your needs. Adapters may seem universal at first glance, but the differences in data transfer speed, OTG support, and physical design are very important for real-world use. Before buying, it's worth considering how and where you'll use the adapter the most.

• OTG support allows you to directly use an adapter to connect accessories (e.g. keyboard, mouse, memory stick) to USB-C devices without an intermediate computer - but it must also be supported on your device.
• Transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps mean the adapter is suitable for fast transfers of larger files. However, actual speeds may also be limited by the device or cable you use with the adapter.
• The aluminum housing offers greater robustness, which is practical for frequent transport or use on the go, but it also slightly increases the weight and dimensions compared to plastic adapters.
• Pay attention to the connection direction: the adapter allows you to connect a USB-A female connector to a USB-C male connector (not suitable for all possible combinations of cables and devices).

In practice

🟢 Data transfer between a USB-C device and an older USB-A dongle

The adapter allows you to easily connect, for example, a USB stick with a USB-A connector to a modern phone, tablet or laptop with USB-C.

🟡 Connecting USB accessories to your phone via OTG

The adapter enables an OTG connection, which is useful when connecting a mouse or keyboard to a phone with OTG support - but check if your phone even supports OTG functionality.

🟢 Quickly copy large files between devices

Since it supports transfers of up to 5 Gbit/s (USB 3.2 Gen 1), the adapter is useful for larger files, provided that other connected cables and devices also support this.

🟡 Charging devices using a USB-A cable

The adapter is suitable for charging, but the performance also depends on the cable, charger, and the device you are charging.

🔴 Direct connection of USB-A male to USB-A female (e.g. two USB-A cables)

The adapter is not intended to "extend" two USB-A cables, as it only allows conversion from USB-C to USB-A female connector.
