Product Information

Full details

The Satechi Type-A to Type-C Adapter is designed for users who need to connect modern USB-C peripherals to older USB-A ports. Its key benefit is enabling compatibility without replacing existing USB-A devices or cables, allowing seamless integration of newer technology. A caveat is that it functions as a simple adapter, not a data converter, so it's limited by the USB-A port's capabilities. This compact adapter bridges the gap between USB-A and USB-C, offering a straightforward solution for connectivity.

FAQs

Can this adapter convert USB-A to USB-C for charging my phone?

Yes, it can facilitate charging if the USB-A port provides sufficient power. However, the charging speed will be limited by the USB-A port's output, which is typically much lower than dedicated USB-C chargers.

What data transfer speed can I expect with this adapter?

The adapter supports USB 3.0 speeds up to 5 Gbps, provided that both the USB-A port you plug it into and your USB-C device support USB 3.0 or higher.

Do I need to install any drivers for this adapter?

No, the Satechi Type-A to Type-C Adapter is plug-and-play and does not require any driver installation.

Can I use this adapter with a USB 2.0 port?

Yes, you can use it with a USB 2.0 port, but the data transfer speed will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps).

Will this adapter work with my MacBook Pro?

Yes, it is compatible with MacBooks (including MacBook Pro) that have USB-A ports, allowing you to connect USB-C peripherals.

Is the adapter directional?

Yes, the male USB-A end plugs into the computer or power source, and the female USB-C port connects to your USB-C device or cable.

What are the physical dimensions of the adapter?

The adapter measures approximately 27.4 mm wide, 14 mm deep, and 7.2 mm high.

Troubleshooting

Adapter not recognized or not working

Ensure the adapter is firmly seated in the USB-A port and the USB-C device is properly connected. Try a different USB-A port or a different USB-C device to rule out port or device issues. Verify that the USB-A port itself is functional.

Slow data transfer speeds

The transfer speed is limited by the connected USB-A port. Ensure the adapter is plugged into a USB 3.0 or higher port for speeds up to 5 Gbps. Check the specifications of your computer's USB-A port.

Device not charging

This adapter is primarily for data transfer. Charging capabilities depend on the power output of the USB-A port. Many USB-A ports have limited power output compared to dedicated USB-C chargers. For faster charging, use a dedicated USB-C charger.
