Compact aluminium adapters convert Type-C ports to USB-A sockets with USB 3.2 potential. Pack of four designed for side-by-side port use and frequent plug cycles.
Speedy transfers – thanks to USB 3.2 10Gbps capability
USB 3.2 signalling between the Type-C plug and USB-A socket allows theoretical transfers up to 10Gbps, provided the host, accessory and the data cable all support that rate and the cable length does not exceed 1m.
Large video files and backups copy far quicker on compatible systems, reducing wait times during shoots or when syncing archives.
Space-saving fit – with an ultra-thin compact housing
Slim footprint, specified at 17.6 x 14.6 x 7.2mm, keeps the connector profile low so adjacent ports remain accessible when used side-by-side on laptops.
Multiple ports stay usable on MacBooks and compact hubs, making it straightforward to add a mouse, thumb drive or MIDI interface without blocking neighbours.
Durable for daily use – with aluminium alloy construction
Scratch-resistant aluminium alloy casing and mechanical design are rated for over 10,000 plug and unplug cycles to resist wear from frequent connections.
Dependable connection quality during travel and daily desk use, a practical choice for anyone who plugs peripherals in and out regularly.
