FAQs
What is the main purpose of this adapter?
The primary purpose is to protect the USB Type-C ports on your devices from wear and tear caused by frequent cable connections and disconnections, while also supporting high-speed data transfers.
Does this adapter support charging?
Yes, as it passes through the USB Type-C connection, it supports USB Power Delivery (PD) for charging, provided the connected cable and devices support the required power levels.
What does 'SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2)' mean?
It refers to the highest data transfer speed supported by the adapter, which is 20 Gigabits per second. This requires compatible hardware on both ends of the connection to achieve.
Will this adapter work if my device only has USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports?
Yes, the adapter is backward compatible. It will work with older USB standards, but the data transfer speed will be limited to the speed of the slowest component in the connection (e.g., USB 3.2 Gen 1's 5Gbps).
Is the USB Type-C connector reversible?
Yes, the USB Type-C connector is reversible, meaning you can plug it in without worrying about the orientation.
What is the warranty period for this adapter?
The Lindy USB 3.2 Type C to C Adapter comes with a 10-year warranty.
What materials are used for the connectors and housing?
The adapter features nickel-plated connectors with gold-plated contacts and a robust Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) housing for durability.
Troubleshooting
Adapter not recognized or no data transfer
Ensure both ends of the adapter are securely plugged in. Verify that the USB Type-C cable and the connected devices support the USB protocol. Try connecting directly without the adapter to confirm the cable and devices are functioning correctly. Test with a different USB Type-C cable.
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm that both your host device's USB-C port and your connected peripheral (and cable) support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) speeds. Slower speeds indicate that either the host, the peripheral, or the cable is operating at a lower USB standard (e.g., USB 3.2 Gen 1 or Gen 2). Ensure drivers for your USB ports are up to date on your computer.
Intermittent connection
Check for any physical damage to the adapter, cable, or ports. Ensure connections are firm. A faulty cable or port on either the host or peripheral device could be the cause. Try using a different USB Type-C cable and connecting to a different port on the host device.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Protects valuable USB Type-C ports from wear and tear.
- Supports ultra-fast data transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps.
- Reversible USB Type-C connector for easy plug-and-play use.
- Durable construction with quality materials ensures a long lifespan.
- Compact and portable design.
Cons
- Full 20Gbps speed requires both the host device and connected cable to support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.
- Adds a small amount of length to the connection, which might be a consideration in very tight spaces.
- As an adapter, it introduces one additional connection point that could theoretically fail, though built for durability.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the male USB Type-C end of the adapter to a USB Type-C port on your host device (e.g., laptop, PC, tablet).
- Connect your USB Type-C cable to the female USB Type-C port on the adapter.
- Connect the other end of your USB Type-C cable to your peripheral device.
Compatibility:
- Host Device: Requires a USB Type-C port. For maximum speeds (20Gbps), the host device's port must support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.
- Cable: For maximum speeds (20Gbps), the USB Type-C cable used must also support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.
- Peripheral Device: Compatible with any USB Type-C device. If the peripheral does not support high speeds, the adapter will still function but at the lower speed supported by the peripheral.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the adapter with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keep away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Avoid dropping the adapter or subjecting it to excessive physical force.
