Plugable USBC-AF3 USB-C to USB Adapter Cable with Driverless Technology (20 cm) Black

The Plugable USBC-AF3 USB-C to USB Adapter Cable (20 cm) provides a direct bridge between modern USB-C devices and traditional USB-A peripherals. Built for quick connections in everyday setups, it supports stable data transfer without requiring drivers or setup steps, making it suitable for both home and professional environments where mixed USB standards are still in use.

Through our Male USB-C to Female USB 3.0 Cable (USBC-AF3), you can plug almost any legacy USB 1.1, 2.0, or 3.0 device you own into your new USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 equipped laptop, tablet, or phone.

Since this cable is a passive adapter and is short in length, its functionality prevents signal interference and timing issues associated with active cables. Adapter cable features clean shielding and is completely plug and play. (Though please note devices connected to the adapter will require drivers as normal.)
