In this video we check out a USB-C female to USB-A male adapter. This isn't the normal way your want to convert your cables, but what it allows you to do it use USB-C cables with old USB-A ports.

I appreciate you taking the time to make this video and include a link. People like you are why IT is flourishing. If I find more things I like on your page I will subscribe. If I don't I still respect you and your content so much thank you again.

[@carllove3705]

Thank you for this video. I just got a new Mac Mini and was in bad need of one more port to plug in my external CD/DVD player. I followed your link and bought this item. Thank you once again for posting this.

[@49Macman]

I ended up buying a USB-C cable by accident from Apple from their website that works nicely with my Mac because it has that kind of port in the back so I could have a dedicated Iphone or keyboard charger, but if I ever need to replace my USB-A cord in my vehicle I will need to get that USB-C to USB-A adapter. Now I know which one to get! Thanks!

[@omarramirez2335]

The question I have not gotten answered is will using the adapters on existing USB 3 ports such as on the side of your table, Wall switch outlets, table lamps, vehicles, etc. Will it support and charge the iPhone 11pro+ as quickly I have existing ones USB 3 in my table lamp, wall sockets, and car couple of which I think would be pricy to switch over to USB but if an adapter works I’d be fine with just installing adapters and leaving them on

[@eriafhionnuisce1699]

Will this one work with ethernet adapter ? I have one through type c, wanna change for simple usb 🤔

[@test4fun118]

may i know if i have a "Dell Dock" wtih a cable of thunderbolt 3, can i use a USB-3 adaptor to connect to my laptop which doesnt have type-c but only USB ??? is this thunderbolt 3 dock work on my USB only laptop by using USB-3 adpator shown in this video?? (on both data transfer, power charge and montor display..function ), thx

[@Ltmotley]

Thank you so much for this video. I have an iPad Mini 6 and am trying to connect to my older 2015 iMac. I feel I finally have the answer to connect and sync my iPad to the computer because I can purchase this product you are describing!

[@eduardocruz1496]

Will this adapter work to plug my iPhone 12 to my car’s usb a connector to use it for Apple Car Play using the lighting to usb-c cable that came with phone?

[@diamondblack581]

For those who may have asked months prior, these "USB-C" adapters do not work with your USB-C dock stations, unfortunately. I feel like I wasted my money a bit because I thought these would properly work well with my non-USB-C laptop and work efficiently as any other USB port on my laptop. Sorry to inform those that may have wished the same thing. :(

[@Mr._Slave]

I wish I knew about this before purchasing. I've also purchased a hub with lots of ports ( 4 USB slots, 3.5mm jack, and more), however, with USB-C connector to the computer, so I ordered an adapter (USB-C to USB 3 for the computer's end), unfortunately, same with yours, my laptop only has HDMI and USB slots. I'm still waiting for the orders to arrive as of this moment.

[@acrack_ontitan]

So do I get this right? I wanted to buy a drawing tablet which has a display and comes with an usb-c cable to power the tablet and shows the notebook screen (do you see what you draw). Even if I buy the adapter and plug it at the usb 3.0 port of my notebook, it would only give power but not the picture since the usb 3.0 inside the notebook is not made to transfer both? So instead I have to use an 3 in 1 cable with hdmi for the picture, usb to connect the devices and a power cable?

[@Mr._Slave]

@@acrack_ontitan I don't think that would work as the notebook screen is not solely designed to display images unlike monitors. Also, in my humble opinion, notebook screen sizes are not that a big of a difference compared to a tablet (except for an ipad mini, I guess). And so, I think, there's no point of displaying it on a notebook screen, unless it has, at least, 19 inch display. My adapter (Male USB 3.0 to Female USB-C) partly worked plugging to a USB-C Dock (9-in-1: 3 USB 3.0, Ethernet, HDMI, 3.5mm, PD, SD Cards), but HDMI didn't work, I guess it needs the stock USB-C directly plugged in to a computer or laptop, unfortunately, my laptop doesn't have a USB-C port that's why I need the adapter.

[@mroctober3583]

I was about to buy adapter if I didn't read this first, thanks...so is there anyway to add a USB C port to desktop instead so my dock station HDMI connections will work?

​@@mroctober3583 having the same question around here too. Did you find a way?

[@enriqueatala2567]

Hello, thanks for the video, I have a question for you, I have a dock with male USB C, but my 2017 MacBook Air does not have a type C port, it only has USB A 3.0 and a thunderbolt 2.0. How can I connect it? Is it enough to put an adapter such as USB A male to USB C female and will some features be lost?

[@lancelovecraft5913]

Exactly what I need. I just got an iPhone 13 mini. The outlets on the surge protector near me are all filled except for the USB ports. This converter will do the trick just fine

[@PingLeeSharing]

Could you please advice me if a USB 3.1 port can support a USB-C wireless microphone? I would like to use an adapter to connect it to the USB port on my Windows laptop so I can start using the wireless mic, which has a USB-C plug. thank you for your advice

Great video. Question: Will that adapter work with the Logitech Streamcam Plus webcam?

[@frogman6641]

I have the same question - how can I get the Streamcam with USB-C cable hardwired into it to work with a USB A socket on my laptop?

[@frogman6641]

Just been doing more research and looks like USB 2.0 is limited to 720p/30fps, so any webcams which say they are 1080p/60fps are being compressed by a chip in the webcam if they go into a USB 2.0 host computer. 1080p/30 is just not possible for a USB 2.0 webcam. This might explain why USB-C webcams seem to work better - 10 to 20 x more bandwidth over USB-C.

A USB-A port on your computer could supply up to 100mA. A USB-C, up to 1.5A. Depending on the power drawn by the device, it may or may not work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Low-power_and_high-power_devices

[@eyescreamcake]

Note that these adapters are EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN by the USB specification. When connected in certain configurations (such as making an A-to-A cable) they can fry your equipment. The correct way to do this conversion is by getting the correct C-to-A or C-to-whatever cable, or connecting through a legitimate hub. "USB Type-C receptacle to USB legacy adapters are explicitly not defined or allowed. Such adapters would allow many invalid and potentially unsafe cable connections to be constructed by users."
