UGREEN 50533 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter, USB 3.0, 3 A, Aluminium

Overview

The UGREEN 50533 is a small adapter with a USB-A plug and a USB-C socket, in a grey aluminium alloy case with a lanyard. It lets you plug USB-C cables and devices into computers, chargers, hubs and car ports that only have USB-A: a USB-C flash drive or external drive on an older laptop, a phone charging from a USB-A charger through a USB-C to USB-C cable, or USB-C earphones on a PC.

Is it right for you?

• Suits older laptops, desktops, chargers, hubs and car ports with USB-A, used with USB-C cables and accessories.
• Not for video: it does not support USB-C to HDMI adapters or other video accessories.
• Not for laptop charging: the USB-A port limits the power, so it will not provide USB-C Power Delivery (PD).
• On a USB 2.0 port the data speed falls to USB 2.0 rates.

Key features

• Data transfer up to 5 Gbps on a USB 3.0 port, backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.
• Charging up to 3 A, and up to 9 V, 2 A (18 W) with Quick Charge 3.0 and 2.0.
• Built-in 56 kOhm pull-up resistor to protect connected devices.
• Plug and play, no driver needed.
• Aluminium alloy case with a lanyard, so it stays with your cable or keys.

What else you need

Nothing beyond a USB-A port on the computer, charger or hub and the USB-C cable or device you want to connect. It works with USB-C phones, tablets, earphones, hard drives and flash drives connected through a USB-C cable.

Before you buy

• No video support: USB-C to HDMI adapters and similar accessories will not work through it.
• Charging power is limited by the USB-A port it is plugged into, so it will not provide USB-C PD laptop charging.
• Data speed falls to USB 2.0 rates on older ports.
