Unitek A1034NI USB3.1 Type-A Male to Type-C Female Adaptor - Color: Silver - USB-A To USB-C Zinc Adapter, designed for data transfer and charging over a laptop, iPad Pro, tablet and smartphone

By all regards this product is fantastic, and does exactly the job you buy it for.
Being adapting a device with USB type C output capable of the usb3.1 spec 10Gb/s , to a type A output, for devices that lack the required type c Input ports.

However unmentioned in the specifications, and very worthy to note, is that the adaptors type C input is only single sided for the full 10Gb/s .
This means that any device plugged in will have to be plugged in the right way, which you have to guess(every device is different), the result of an incorrectly plugged in device will have the adaptor revert to USB 2.0 speeds.

This means that any device plugged in will have to be plugged in the right way, which you have to guess(every device is different), the result of an incorrectly plugged in device will have the adaptor revert to USB 2.0 speeds.

This is directly the result of the adaptor not being wired to be electrically reversible, which is doable, albeit the end adaptor device becomes more complex in design.

If you seek a USB type C to type A adaptor that supports the full speed of USB 3.1, and is reversible for the device being adapted(As most users generally are), then you will need to seek an adaptor that is specifically Dual-sided superspeed in specification.

This product however is currently misrepresented.

I recently purchased this to be able to charge my iPhone 13 with a MagSafe charger via my computer and in the car. It doesn't work. Tried plugging in various USB outlets and a different MagSafe charger and still no charging.

It does charge via a USB-C to lightning cable though. I recently purchased this to be able to charge my iPhone 13 with a MagSafe charger via my computer and in the car. It doesn't work. Tried plugging in various USB outlets and a different MagSafe charger and still no charging.

This is indeed a great adaptor for data transfers and has a solid metallic build that lasts forever. It is doing exactly how it was described. So 5 star for that.

However, I also envisaged that I could use this adaptor to connect the non-USB-C enabled laptop to the USB-C docking system (like Dell WD19 that has been connected to my dual monitors). But it didn't work. I wouldn't complain much though as this purpose was not mentioned in the product description. So all good but a caution to those who want to buy this for a similar purpose like mine. This is indeed a great adaptor for data transfers and has a solid metallic build that lasts forever.

Slimline and compact - the perfect solution to connect Logitec StreamCam to gaming computer which only has USB-A ports. Slimline and compact - the perfect solution to connect Logitec StreamCam to gaming computer which only has USB-A ports.

It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I use it for a Steelseries gaming headset USB-C wireless dongle as my PC case has no USB-C ports. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I use it for a Steelseries gaming headset USB-C wireless dongle as my PC case has no USB-C ports.

I’m far from techy, and bought an item which I could not connect to my PC (wrong connection). This adaptor was delivered fast and was exactly what I was looking for!

Does exactly what I wanted it to. Enabling the use of a USB C device connecting to an older laptop with only USB A ports available. Does exactly what I wanted it to. Enabling the use of a USB C device connecting to an older laptop with only USB A ports available.

Works as expected! Works as expected!

This little adaptor does exactly what it's meant to, converts older USB-A connection to USB-C and is easy to slip in your pocket. This little adaptor does exactly what it's meant to, converts older USB-A connection to USB-C and is easy to slip in your pocket.
