USB C to USB Adapter, 2 Pack
Flexible Cable Protects Your Fragile USB-C Ports.
I purchased these a I have recent purchase an MacBook Air to replace my MacBook Pro as Apple will stop updating this computer this year. The MacBook Air only accepts USB C adaptors and they need to access the ports side by side and these do a very good job. I’m happy with my purchase.
I am pleased with my purchase. It grips the USB cable in a tight fit – which means (when on the move) these can stay on the cable without risk of falling off.
At last a type A to type C convertor that will work with my phone in its case.
I misplaced my original Samsung USB A to USB C convertor and after trying about 5 different brands, this is the only one that works. The convertor is extremely well made and very well designed for both phones or a PC. I would highly recommend this product!
These Syntech USB C to USB Adapters (Model M33P) are well packaged and bring an user manual. The package brings two adapters. They are made of an aluminum alloy. They seem good quality. They are very handy to connect cables that still have the USB-A connectors to devices that use the new USB-C standard connectors. These adapters support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (previously known as USB 3.1 and later renamed as USB 3.1 Gen 2), allowing a speed data transfer up to 10 Gbps. They should also be backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices (of course this will reduce the overall transfer speed). Basically, I’m using these adapters to give a second life to some spare USB-A cables that I have at home, making them compatible with my new USB-C devices. One drawback from these adapters is that their body is wider than the standard USB-C connector. This causes that I cannot connect them to my mobile phone and my tablet with their cases on. You shouldn’t find this issue when you use them to connect to other devices like laptops, chargers, hard drives, etc. Everything seems to work well, but it’s a bit frustrating the issue aforementioned.
These are great adaptors. They’re just the right size so you can use 2 next to each other on a MacBook Pro. They’re also a lot smaller than the dongle style ones you can buy. Only issue with this is that all the weight from the cable is put into the usb c port.
Very simply, I picked these up because my car has USB-C ports in the back for the convenience of anyone sitting in the back seat. My boys bring a whole car load of devices on long trips that require everything from Mini-USB to Micro-USB to USB-C and these adapters allow me to use older USB-A cables in the USB-C power outlets.
I can’t vouch for transfer speeds, but as adapters they do what I got them for perfectly.
Now that most electrical items are moving over to USB C, we still have those odd bits that require the old USB A connection, this little adapter is perfect, instead of having different cables, this tiny adapter just fits in a bag or pocket to convert USB A to USB C, speeds are fast too. Very handy little adapter, worth grabbing and you get 2 in a pack! amazing value.
With numerous devices to connect to each other and an array of different connector types its useful to have adapters.
These days more and more devices are using USB C connectors but if you still have a number of USB A cables that need connecting to a smartphone for example then an adapter like this is really useful.
These work really well and there’s not much more to say except that they are a little wider than a standard USB C connector on a cable. I found that I couldn’t plug them into my phone with its case on. Not a major problem but something to watch out for.
Probably be alright when used with a laptop with better spacing around the connector.
These are 10Gbps capable adapters which is great but I personally dont have any USB A devices that need 10Gbps.
All myt 10Gbpos and above devies are USBC.
I do have USB A devices though that i often would prefer to plug into the front solitary USBC connector on my small form factor PC case wihtout haveing to faff around the back of the pc in amongst the wifi/bluetooth antennae and rats nest of cables. Which is where this adapter comes in handy.
So I am unable to confirm max throughput of 10Gbs but otherwise everythign works perfectly and quality is good
This review is for the Syntech USB C to USB Adapter (2 Pack), 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Fit Side by Side, USB C Male to USB A 3.2 Female Adapter Compatible with iPhone 15 Pro Max/iPad/iMac/MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt 4/3 Devices
7.99 at the time of review.
Nicely packaged, but that means for nothing when rattling about in my bag (without the packaging).
Well formed, they look like quality items and they performed well in my limited testing, getting around 500Mb/s read speeds and not much under that for writing. Mind you, speeds are dependent on your equipment, so I am happy enough with these speeds even though it isn’t the quoted 10gbps.
They are small and slim but are also easy to lose if you carry them about. I would have liked to have seen the USB standard printed on the shells, but it’s not, so I have marked 10gbps in black felt pen so I can tell them apart some time down the line.
A very good price for adapters of this speed so 5 stars from me and highly recommended.
With USB-C male to USB-C female these work perfectly to adapt a power supply or USB-C socket in a PC, MacBook or hub to use the older USB-A cables and accessories, like mice or memory sticks.
Very compact design, as long as there’s more than 14mm between the sockets these work for adjacent USB-C sockets.
Have used a similar thing in the past on a laptop dock with insufficient USB-A sockets but spare USB-C ones, they are invaluable!
Picked up for review as I’ve been let down by other claimed USB C to A hubs and adaptors with claims of 10Gbps to only find the speed is half that.
Testing with my fastest USB drive (Kingston DataTraveler MaX 256GB) I managed to get over 1000MB/s (>8Gbps) where others have maxed out at under 500MB/s)
Happy to recommend this.
One caveat and this may be my front panel USB-C connection and nothing to do with the adaptor but this seems to be USB3.2 2*2 (10Gbps) on one side and USB3.1 (5Gbps) on the other with the achieved speed depending on which way up the adaptor is plugged in.
Your mileage may vary of course.
Not too much to say about these really. They’re well made, with a pleasing weight for something so small. They have brushed aluminium bodies that look and feel good. Packaging was good quality too. Each adapter was nestled in a cut out in a foam block that fitted snugly in the slim cardboard box. No overengineered wasteful packaging here. Connecting the adapters is easy with just enough friction to ensure a snug fit. Performance was as expected. Overall, nice little adapters that do what they do, very well.
Tested on a Dell XPS 13, and Pixel 6.
With a USB stick attached, it was recognised by both laptop and phone.
They do fit side by side very well, I have a USB-C hub with USB-A ports, but it is quite a large device to carry.
I use this with my USB-A gamepad to play on Steam, wireless pads were double the price, as were USB-C, this means I can use my older hardware much more easily. I have superglued one of these to the pad’s USB-A so it cannot be lost, now whether I am playing XBOX cloud on my phone or laptop, I have a secure connection. The other is for all my other peripherals and external storage devices.
The advert may say 10gbps, but it is limited by your hardware, expect 400mb/s max data transfer and 250mb/s write speed on USB storage devices
Great quality, I see these lasting a very long time
