Nice and compact. - Works just fine fir what it does. Most usb gadgets come with cords that are way too long, when only 6-8" is needed. This fits the bill perfectly. I bought a few for all my kits. Review: Simple & Lightweight Solution for Modern Devices that Lack USB A Ports - I use a laptop to program two-way radios. This laptop was a free acquisition and fairly new, but lacks any USB-A ports. Many of the cables I use are not available in USB-C, and I wouldn't want to buy all of my cables again just to get them with USB-C ends. . This short cable is a great solution to using USB-A cables and devices with a USB-C only laptop. If you need to carry the laptop around or work in and out of vehicles, it's nice to not have a bulky USB hub hanging from the side of your computer while moving around. . The cable appears well made and works as expected. The "Driverless Technology" in the title is kind of scammy though. It's a passive cable, of course you will not need a driver. I still consider the simplicity a plus. You know that you won't have to mess around with installing a driver while in the middle of a project, or if you switch to a new computer. There is very little to go wrong; it just works. ## Features - Universal Compatibility: Connect any USB C, USB4, Thunderbolt 3, or Thunderbolt 4 enabled laptop, phone, or tablet to a legacy USB 3.0 device or peripheral like flash drives, keyboards, or mice. - User Friendly: Plug-and-play USB to USB C adapter for home or office use; 20cm cable designed to fit side-by-side on laptops with two neighboring USB C ports; also works well as a USB connection to phone adapter. - Performance: This Plugable USB to USBC adapter cable allows for transfer speeds up to 5Gbps, backwards compatibility, syncing, and charging. - Compatible with: MacBooks, most Windows systems with Windows 10 or newer, and most Chromebooks running ChromeOS 100 or newer that have a USB C port; MacBook Pro 13" / 14" / 15", 16", MacBook Air, MacBook Retina, MacBook M1 / M2 / M3, HP Spectre x360 / Pavilion / Envy, Dell XPS / Precision / Latitude, Lenovo ThinkPad / IdeaPad / Yoga / Flex, Surface Pro 7 / 7+ / 8 / 9, Surface Laptop 3 / 4 / 5 / Studio / SE, Surface Go / Go 2 / Go 3, LG Gram, Acer Aspire / Swift / Spin, ASUS Zenbook / Vivobook. - Enhance Your Connectivity: Seamlessly expand your device's capabilities with this versatile adapter, ensuring smooth data transfer and device compatibility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00Y1I1DT4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #583 in USB-to-USB Adapters #9,185 in Computer Cables & Interconnects | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (430) | | Date First Available | May 21, 2015 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.3 ounces | | Item model number | USBC-AF3 | | Manufacturer | Plugable | | Product Dimensions | 1 x 1 x 1 inches | ## Product Details - **Color:** Black - **Connector Type:** USB Type C - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 1 x 1 x 1 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** personal ## Images ![USB C to USB Adapter Cable with Driverless Technology, Enables Connection of USB Type C Laptop, Tablet, or Phone to a USB 3.0 Device (8 inch / 20 cm) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61i+ubSIetL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great.
