Product Information

Full details

This Anker USB-C to USB 3.1 Adapter is designed for users who need to connect standard USB-A devices to their USB-C enabled laptops, tablets, or smartphones. Its key benefit is enabling versatile connectivity, allowing you to use older peripherals with newer devices. A potential caveat is that it relies on USB OTG (On-The-Go) technology, meaning your host device must support OTG for functionality. The adapter converts a USB-C female port into a USB-A female port, facilitating data transfer and accessory connection.

FAQs

Does this adapter support charging my USB-A device?

No, this adapter is designed for data transfer and accessory connection only. It does not support charging output to USB-A devices.

How do I know if my device supports USB OTG?

Check your device's specifications from the manufacturer. Many Android devices and newer iPads/tablets support OTG. Some devices may require enabling OTG in the settings menu.

Can I use this to connect my USB-C phone to a monitor with a USB-A input?

This adapter is for connecting USB-A peripherals to a USB-C host. It typically does not support video output or display connections unless specifically stated by the host device's capabilities for USB-C Alt Mode.

What is the maximum data transfer speed?

The adapter supports USB 3.1 speeds, which can reach up to 10Gbps. However, the actual speed achieved depends on your host device and the connected USB-A peripheral.

Will this adapter work with my iPhone?

This adapter is designed for USB-C devices. iPhones currently use Lightning ports, so this adapter will not be compatible with most iPhones unless you have a USB-C to Lightning adapter.

Can I connect a keyboard or mouse to my phone using this adapter?

Yes, if your phone supports USB OTG, you can connect a standard USB-A keyboard or mouse to use with your smartphone or tablet.

Troubleshooting

Adapter not recognized by device

Ensure your host device (phone/tablet) supports USB OTG. Confirm the USB-C port on your device is functional. Try connecting a different USB-A device to verify it works.

Slow data transfer speeds

Verify that both the adapter and the connected USB-A device support USB 3.1 speeds. The actual speed is limited by the slowest component in the chain (host device, adapter, or peripheral).

Device connected via adapter does not function

Check the power requirements of the connected USB-A device. Some high-power devices may not work without external power. Ensure the device is compatible with your host operating system.
