USB-C to USB-A adapter MicroConnect USB3.2AC2-LSZH, USB 3.2, LSZH jacket

Adapter converting a USB-C plug to a USB-A receptacle from MicroConnect, model USB3.2AC2-LSZH. This adapter supports the USB 3.2 data interface for high-speed connections and has a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket designed to reduce toxic fumes and smoke in confined or public spaces. It enables connection of legacy USB-A devices — such as flash drives, mice, keyboards and external drives — to modern USB-C hosts for data transfer and peripheral use while maintaining USB 3.2 transfer rates.

Advantages

The adapter provides backward-compatible connectivity with USB-A peripherals while using a compact inline design that does not require additional power or drivers. The USB 3.2 interface ensures higher throughput compared to USB 2.0 adapters, and the LSZH jacket improves safety in environments where reduced smoke and halogen-free materials are required. The product is lightweight and portable, making it convenient for everyday use with laptops, tablets and smartphones that have USB-C ports.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting USB-A flash drives and external hard drives to USB-C laptops and tablets
• Using legacy peripherals such as keyboards, mice and printers with USB-C hosts
• Data transfer and file backup between USB-A storage and USB-C devices
• Applications in offices, classrooms, and transport where low-smoke cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 3.2 data protocol compatible for high-speed transfers
• Connector A: USB-C plug (male)
• Connector B: USB-A receptacle (female)
• Cable jacket: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Form factor: Compact inline adapter, lightweight
• Power delivery: Passive adapter — power limited by host and peripheral capabilities

How to use

Insert the USB-C plug into the USB-C port of the host device and then plug the USB-A peripheral into the female USB-A receptacle. The adapter requires no software installation; the connected devices will negotiate data and power based on the USB 3.2 protocol and the host's capabilities. For best results, connect devices while both host and peripheral are powered on or follow the host device's recommended connect/disconnect procedure to avoid data corruption when transferring files.

Usage recommendations

Use this adapter for data and peripheral connections rather than for high-current charging. To maintain performance, use with USB 3.2-compatible devices and cables; performance will fall back to lower USB standards when connected to older equipment. In environments with specific safety or regulatory requirements, the LSZH jacket supports reduced smoke emissions, but verify local codes for full compliance.
