Ugreen USB A Male to USB-C Female Adapter (Black)-UG- 50568
The Ugreen UG-50568 bridges the connectivity gap between USB-A ports and USB-C devices. This adapter converts traditional USB Type-A male ports into USB-C female receptacles. Consequently, users can connect modern USB-C cables and peripherals to legacy devices without replacing existing hardware.
USB-C Compatibility Solution
The UG-50568 enables USB-C device charging and data transfer through standard USB-A ports. This adapter supports USB 3.0 data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps when connected to compatible ports. Moreover, the adapter maintains backward compatibility with USB 2.0 ports, ensuring functionality across various host devices.
The USB-C female port accepts standard USB-C cables. Therefore, users can charge smartphones, tablets, and other USB-C devices using existing USB-A power sources and computer ports.
Compact Dongle Design
The Ugreen 50568 features a minimalist form factor measuring approximately 22mm in length. This compact design prevents the adapter from protruding significantly from laptop sides or desktop ports. Additionally, the small size makes the adapter easily portable in pockets, cable organizers, or laptop bags.
The black finish provides a professional appearance that blends with most device aesthetics. Furthermore, the aluminum alloy construction delivers durability while maintaining a lightweight profile.
Plug-and-Play Operation
The UG-50568 requires no software installation or driver downloads. Users simply insert the USB-A connector into their device and connect USB-C cables to the female port. As a result, the adapter becomes immediately functional across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS platforms.
