Product Information

Full details

This ATEK Value Pack of 3 USB-C to USB-A adapters is for anyone needing to connect modern USB-C devices to older USB-A ports, offering a key benefit of fast 5Gbps data transfer and charging. A minor caveat is that it only converts USB-C *female* to USB-A *male*, meaning your existing USB-C cable plugs into the adapter. This pack provides a versatile solution for bridging different USB generations, supporting smartphones, tablets, and external drives with durable, high-quality construction.

FAQs

What is the difference between USB-C female and USB-A male in this adapter?

The adapter has a male USB-A connector that plugs into your computer or charger. It also has a female USB-C port where you plug in your standard USB-C cable. This setup allows your USB-C cable to connect to a USB-A port.

Can I use this adapter for video output (like connecting a monitor)?

No, these adapters are designed for data transfer and charging only. They do not support alternate modes like DisplayPort or HDMI over USB-C.

What is the maximum data transfer speed?

The adapters support USB 3.1 Gen 1 (also marketed as USB 3.0), with a maximum theoretical data transfer speed of 5Gbps.

Are these adapters compatible with USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, they are backward compatible. However, if plugged into a USB 2.0 port, the data transfer speed will be limited to the USB 2.0 standard (480Mbps).

What devices can I connect using these adapters?

You can connect any device that uses a USB-C cable for charging or data transfer (like smartphones, tablets, external SSDs) to any port that accepts a USB-A connector (like computers, laptops, power banks, wall chargers).

How many adapters are included in this pack?

This is a value pack that includes three (3) USB-C female to USB-A male adapters.

What materials are the adapters made from?

The adapters are constructed from a combination of high-quality aluminum alloy and durable plastic.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized after connecting

Ensure the USB-C cable is fully plugged into the adapter and the adapter is firmly seated in the USB-A port. Try a different USB-A port on your host device or try a different USB-C cable.

Slow data transfer speeds

Verify that both the host device's USB-A port and the USB-C cable support USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) or higher. Older USB 2.0 ports will limit speeds to 480Mbps.

Adapter feels loose in the USB-A port

Gently inspect the USB-A port on your device and the connector on the adapter for any debris or damage. Ensure the adapter is inserted straight and fully.

Device not charging

Confirm that the USB-A port you are using supports power output. Some low-power USB-A ports may not provide sufficient charge. Test with a dedicated USB-A wall charger.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain performance and longevity, keep the adapters clean and dry. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or moisture. Gently clean the ports with a dry, soft brush if dust accumulates. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
