What Does It Do?
This adapter is designed for customers who already have USB-C cables or USB-C accessories but need to use them with a standard USB-A port. Plug the adapter into a USB-A port, then connect your USB-C cable or compatible accessory into the USB-C female side.
It is especially useful when you have older USB-A charger plugs, USB-A charging stations, laptops, desktop PCs, power banks or car chargers, but your newer cable or accessory uses USB-C.

Charging Performance
The adapter is 6A-rated, making it suitable for fast charging setups where the charger, cable and device are all compatible. Charging speed depends on the full setup, including your charger output, cable rating, device charging limits, battery level and supported fast-charge protocol.
Important: this adapter does not increase the power of your charger. It cannot turn a basic low-power USB-A port into a high-power USB-C PD laptop charger. For high-wattage laptop charging, use a proper USB-C Power Delivery charger and a suitable USB-C to USB-C cable.
Data Sync & File Transfer
This adapter supports data transfer when used with compatible USB devices. For the best USB 3.0 performance, your USB-A port, USB-C cable and connected device must all support USB 3.0 or higher. If any part of the connection is USB 2.0, the transfer speed will be limited to USB 2.0 performance.
Use it for compatible file transfers such as photos, documents, music and videos when your connected device supports data mode.
