How to use

Insert the USB-C end of the adapter into the USB-C port of your host device. Connect the USB-A peripheral or cable into the USB-A female port on the adapter. The host device should recognise the connected device automatically and allow data transfer or peripheral input according to its capabilities. For best results, ensure the connected peripheral is powered if it requires external power and verify that your host supports the peripheral’s data class (for example, mass storage or HID).

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter with devices that support standard USB data classes and avoid placing mechanical strain on the adapter or host port. For high-speed data transfer, connect directly to the host’s native USB-C port and use quality USB-A cables and peripherals rated for the necessary transfer speeds.
