Troubleshooting

Device not recognized after connecting

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Try a different USB-C port on your host device and a different USB-A port on your peripheral. Test the peripheral with a different cable if possible.

Slow data transfer speeds

Verify that both the host device's USB-C port and the peripheral's USB-A port support USB 3.0 (5Gbps) speeds. Ensure the connected peripheral is itself capable of USB 3.0 speeds.

Cable is not charging device

Confirm that the connected host device or power adapter supports charging via USB-C and that the peripheral is designed to be charged via USB-A. The cable supports up to 3A; ensure your power source can provide adequate amperage.

USB-C connector is difficult to plug in

The USB-C connector is reversible. Ensure you are not forcing it in one orientation. Try flipping the connector 180 degrees and plugging it in again. The connection should be smooth.
