The USB-C Adapter you Didn't Know you Needed!

In this video we check out a USB-C female to USB-A male adapter. This isn't the normal way your want to convert your cables, but what it allows you to do it use USB-C cables with old USB-A ports.

For those who may have asked months prior, these "USB-C" adapters do not work with your USB-C dock stations, unfortunately. I feel like I wasted my money a bit because I thought these would properly work well with my non-USB-C laptop and work efficiently as any other USB port on my laptop. Sorry to inform those that may have wished the same thing. :(

Just got my wife a new Apple Watch 8 for Christmas and the special Mag cable to charge the watch is unfortunately USB-C, and naturally ALL our chargers are USB -A, so this adapter is EXACTLY what we need.

I ended up buying a USB-C cable by accident from Apple from their website that works nicely with my Mac because it has that kind of port in the back so I could have a dedicated Iphone or keyboard charger, but if I ever need to replace my USB-A cord in my vehicle I will need to get that USB-C to USB-A adapter. Now I know which one to get! Thanks!

Exactly what I need. I just got an iPhone 13 mini. The outlets on the surge protector near me are all filled except for the USB ports. This converter will do the trick just fine

Question.
SO... if I have an Early 2015 MacBook Air with out the USB C connection. Do they make USB to USB C cables or an adapter so that I can hook up a dock with multiple AV connections? I have the older model and I would really like to find a hyper drive or some sort of option to have those multiple connections.

[bijoyg]

Thanks, super useful! Can you add the previous video link in the description?

[Mrraiseb]

Would this support dock with hdmi and vga?

[kathymalone]

Can I use this adapter with a mobile drive 5TB LaCie to plug into my iMac?

Thank you for this video. I just got a new Mac Mini and was in bad need of one more port to plug in my external CD/DVD player. I followed your link and bought this item. Thank you once again for posting this.

Could you please advice me if a USB 3.1 port can support a USB-C wireless microphone?

I would like to use an adapter to connect it to the USB port on my Windows laptop

so I can start using the wireless mic, which has a USB-C plug. thank you for your advice

Great video. Question: Will that adapter work with the Logitech Streamcam Plus webcam?

[yeowwa]

does it support video signal transmission after converted?

[HemersonParanaguaPRO]

Thank you for the video. Besides hard drive do you think that I could use a docking station?

I have a Macbook 2015 (without USB C) and Windows PC and I was thinking to buy this docking station that is selling in the market, but all of them are Type C.
Do you think that I could adapt it to USB and use in Both PC and MAC with this adapter?

Hello, thanks for the video, I have a question for you, I have a dock with male USB C, but my 2017 MacBook Air does not have a type C port, it only has USB A 3.0 and a thunderbolt 2.0. How can I connect it? Is it enough to put an adapter such as USB A male to USB C female and will some features be lost?

[shariburns]

Thank you. This is exactly what I need to download photos from my USB-C phone cable to my laptop.

[adhithasimhanraghavan]

Can I charge my laptop through a USB A port also transferring data?
