Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on June 3, 2025These are decent USB-C/A (female/male) adapters that seem reasonably well-constructed without visible defects and for the most part work as expected without issues. They are fairly compact and small (as far as USB adapters are concerned) and I particularly like the fact that they have built-in tethering loop so they can be attached to a cable without being misplaced.
They are rated at USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 (10 Gbps, 10 Gbps verified) for data sync/transfer and 3A/18W for charging; however, these don't necessarily support PD (since USB-A lacks the pins/wires to support PD) or QC. As such, these adapters are primarily for data transfer only despite the fact that they can be used for charging as well. I should also mention that most of these USB-C/A adapters that support up to 3A do support 9V, 12V, or even 20V for a maximum of 60W (i.e. supports some form of quick charging); however, since they explicitly state that these are up to 18W only and I don't have plans to use these for charging anyway, no tests are actually performed to determine their true capabilities.
鈮 Physical build
These adapters are reasonably well-constructed with an old school plastic/rubber shell instead of the typical aluminum alloy that you'd commonly see for USB adapters such as these. Nonetheless, they do work just fine although I can't be certain about their longevity especially if these are to be used for charging at their max power (18W) for extended period of time and/or for the long term (since plastic/rubber don't necessarily dissipates heat easier).
鉁 Note that the USB-A end (even if it's connected to another adapter or extension cable) MUST be connected to a female USB port on the computer. These adapters will NOT work if the female USB-C port is connected to a computer (via a USB-C/C cable or other adapters etc.). Simply put, these adapters are UNIDIRECTIONAL and the male USB-A connector must be connected to a host device even if it's connected to another adapter and/or USB extension cable.
In addition, similar to most other USB-C/A (F/M) adapters, it might be necessarily to flip the USB-C cable/adapter if you do find the speed to be slower than 10 Gbps since USB-C by design will accept either orientation of the male plug and it's quite possible that only ONE orientation will work but not the other. So, if you aren't getting the speed expected, flip the connection and try again.
鈮 Data sync/transfer
They support 10 Gbps data rate and that's significantly faster than most others rated for 5 Gbps. I have no issues connecting it to various USB flash drives and external disks or SSDs from various mobile devices as well as computers/laptops. They're capable of 1057.98 MB/s (8.46384 Gbps) for read and 1028.59 MB/s (8.22872 Gbps) for write from some quick tests with an NVMe SSD enclosure (rated for 20+ Gbps) so that's not too bad at all since the effective max speed is around 1100 MB/s, excluding encoding and link management overhead etc.
鈮 [Quick] charging
They do NOT support PD (for obvious reasons mentioned above) and they claim to support up to 3A/18W, which is decent; however, no extensive tests are preformed since my use case for these is data only. That said, some quick tests do show that they can support at least 5V/2A without issues. Note that if you do require adapters that support much higher voltage such as 9V, 12V, or even 20V (3A is the highest supported for USB-C/A adapters such as these), these probably aren't your best bet and there are other options and/or alternatives out there that are capable of up to 60W/3A if you care to shop around.
鈮 Value
All things considered, these are decent USB-C/A (F/M) adapters that seem reasonably well-constructed and for the most part work just fine without issues (for now). They're capable of 10 Gbps for data sync/transfer which is decent; however, these are not specifically designed for charging since they're only capable of up to 3A/18W (i.e. no PD/QC). That said, they do have a built-in tethering rubber loop, which I do appreciate and indeed that's one of the reasons for the order. They are somewhat reasonably priced at $15 (for a 3-pack) for what they provide and their overall build quality, usability, versatility, and performance. Your mileage might vary.
