How to use

Insert the USB-C end into the USB-C plug of the device you want to connect, then insert the USB-A end into the USB-A port of the host, such as a computer, power adapter, or hub. Ensure both devices support the required USB version to achieve optimal data transfer speeds. The adapter functions as a passive connector; no software or driver installation is required. Remove the adapter by gently unplugging from both ends when finished.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the adapter with USB 3.2 Gen 1 compliant cables and ports. Avoid forcing connectors and store the adapter in a protective pouch to prevent physical damage. Note that power delivery and video functions depend on the connected devices and ports and may be limited by the adapter's passive nature.
