ROLINE USB-A to USB-C gender changer adapter 12.03.2998, USB 2.0/3.2 Gen 1, stainless steel & black
ROLINE USB-A to USB-C gender changer adapter 12.03.2998 converts a standard USB Type-A port into a USB Type-C receptacle, allowing connection of USB-C devices to computers or laptops with legacy USB-A sockets. The compact adapter supports both USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfer modes (up to 5 Gbit/s) and has a stainless steel and black finish for a low-profile, durable appearance.
The adapter provides a simple, space-saving solution to connect USB-C peripherals to devices with USB-A ports without installing drivers. It supports high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s when used with compatible USB 3.2 Gen 1 hosts and devices, and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. Its straight USB-A male to USB-C female configuration and metal-plated housing increase connector stability and durability.
This adapter does not change protocol beyond standard USB data lines; it cannot add features such as USB Power Delivery for high-wattage charging or alternate modes like DisplayPort over USB-C if those require specific wiring or active electronics. Performance is limited by the lowest supported USB version on the host or device, so full 5 Gbit/s rates require USB 3.2 Gen 1 support on both ends.
Insert the USB-A male plug of the adapter into an available USB-A port on your computer or laptop. Plug the USB-C connector of your device or cable into the adapter’s USB-C female socket. The host and device should recognise each other automatically; transfer speeds will depend on the USB versions supported by both devices. For reliable connections, ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid excessive bending at the joint.
Use this ROLINE USB-A to USB-C adapter for simple data and peripheral connections between USB-A hosts and USB-C devices; do not rely on it for high-wattage charging or video output unless your equipment explicitly supports such functionality over a passive adapter.
