I've got old USB-A cables everywhere - in my car, at my desk, next to my bed, in my travel bag. I started looking at buying all new USB-C cables to replace them and realized I'd be spending like $100+ to replace everything. Then I found these little adapters and honestly they're genius. The pack comes with 2 adapters which seemed perfect - I could put them in different places and not have to move them around constantly. They're super small, like maybe an inch long, so they're not bulky or awkward. Just plug them into the end of your regular USB-A cable and boom, now it works with USB-C devices. I keep one adapter permanently attached to the charging cable in my car. My car only has a regular USB-A port and I was using one of those old cables that wouldn't charge my new phone. Popped this adapter on the end and now it works perfectly. Charges my phone just as fast as a regular USB-C cable would. I leave it in there all the time and it's been super reliable. The second adapter I keep in my work bag along with my laptop charger and a couple other cables. It's great because when I'm traveling or at a coffee shop, I can use whatever cable I have available. Found a random USB-A cable at a hotel once and just used my adapter to charge my phone. Super convenient. The build quality on these is actually really solid. They're made of aluminum which feels premium and durable. I was worried they'd be flimsy plastic that would break after a week, but these feel like they'll last forever. The connection is snug - when you plug it into a cable it stays on tight, no wobbling or loose connections. They work for both charging and data transfer which is nice. I use one to connect my phone to my laptop sometimes to transfer photos and it works just as well as a regular USB-C cable. The transfer speeds seem totally normal, no issues there at all. One of the best things about these is that they're so small you can just leave them attached to your cables permanently. I basically converted my old USB-A cables into USB-C cables for like $10 instead of buying all new cables. Way more economical and I didn't have to throw away perfectly good cables. I've also used them with my power banks. I've got a couple older power banks that only have USB-A ports and these adapters let me charge my USB-C phone from them no problem. Didn't have to upgrade my power banks which would've been expensive. The only thing to be aware of is that these are female USB-C to male USB-A. That means you plug them INTO your existing USB-A cable to make it work with USB-C devices. I initially thought they worked the other way around so make sure you're getting the right type for what you need. But for converting old cables to work with new phones, these are perfect. They're also great as spares. I actually ended up buying a second pack because they're so useful. Now I have them in my car, my work bag, one attached to the cable next to my bed, and a couple extras floating around. At this price it's totally worth having backups. My girlfriend saw me using these and got her own set. She had the same problem with all her old cables becoming useless when she upgraded her phone. Now she keeps one in her purse and one at her desk at work. Saved her a bunch of money on new cables too. The adapters are also slim enough that they work with phone cases. Some bulky adapters won't fit if you have a thick case on your phone, but these are narrow enough that I've never had an issue. I've got a pretty heavy-duty case on my phone and it plugs in fine. Color-wise they come in space gray which matches most cables and devices pretty well. They don't look cheap or out of place. They actually blend in really nicely and after a while you forget they're even there. If you've recently switched to a USB-C device and have a bunch of old USB-A cables lying around, these adapters are a total no-brainer. Don't waste money buying all new cables when you can just convert what you already have for a fraction of the price. They work great, they're durable, and they're small enough to keep everywhere without being in the way. I've been using mine for like 8 months now and haven't had a single issue. Still charging perfectly, no wear or tear on the connectors, and they haven't come loose from the cables I have them attached to. Definitely recommend grabbing a pack or two. Review: Worthy product, Priced just right - product works as it should, they work great. shipped promptly and received them with no issues. small enough to fit into my assorted projects. ## Features - TURN USB-A PORTS INTO USB-C: Convert the USB-A ports on your laptops, wall chargers, car chargers, hubs, or power banks into USB-C inputs for everyday charging and data transfer. Just plug the adapter into a USB-A port and connect your USB-C cable to charge or sync compatible devices. - DESIGNED FOR USB 2.0 CHARGING & SYNC (NO VIDEO): Supports USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480 Mbps and charging up to 5V/2A, depending on your USB-A power source. Not for HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, or any other type of video output, and not for driving a dock’s main USB-C host cable or high-power USB-C fast-charging protocols (PD/PPS). - ALUMINUM ALLOY HOUSING: Built with an aluminum alloy shell that helps with heat dissipation during use compared to plastic adapters. The metal body surrounds the internal USB 2.0 components and supports stable charging and data transfer during everyday plug-in, unplugging, and device connections. - COMPACT ENOUGH TO LEAVE PLUGGED IN: Low-profile, lightweight design that sits close to the USB-A port, so it can stay plugged into your laptop, charger, or hub without getting in the way. Reduces wear from constant plugging/unplugging and lowers the chance of misplacing the adapter. - VERSATILE USB-C ACCESSORY COMPATIBILITY: Works with USB-C cables, phones, tablets, earphones, flash drives, card readers, wireless adapters, and other low-power USB-C accessories. A simple, practical add-on to keep your older USB-A gear useful in a USB-C world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Z66MK6L | | Best Sellers Rank | #69 in Cell Phones & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Cell Phones & Accessories ) #1 in Cell Phone OTG Adapters | | Brand | Basesailor | | Color | Gray | | Compatible Devices | Apple iPhone 17 16 Pro Max Plus 15 14 13 Mini 12 11,iPad Pro 7 (2024) 2022 2021 2020 2018 Air 9 8 7 6 5 4 Mini,AirPods 4 3 2 Pro,iWatch Apple Watch Series 11 10 9 8 7 Se,MacBook Air 2023 Pro 2022 2021 2020 m2 iMac 27 24 13 14 15 16 inch,Samsung Galaxy S25 S24 Ultra Plus FE S23 Z Fold 6 Flip 5 Note 20 10 A55 A54 M13 M53 5G M33 M23,Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra A9 Plus 5G Lite S9 A8 A7 S8 A8.0 (2019) A10.5 (2018) S7 FE S6,Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 5 4 3,Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Fold 8A,Microsoft Surface Go 2 Compatible Devices Apple iPhone 17 16 Pro Max Plus 15 14 13 Mini 12 11,iPad Pro 7 (2024) 2022 2021 2020 2018 Air 9 8 7 6 5 4 Mini,AirPods 4 3 2 Pro,iWatch Apple Watch Series 11 10 9 8 7 Se,MacBook Air 2023 Pro 2022 2021 2020 m2 iMac 27 24 13 14 15 16 inch,Samsung Galaxy S25 S24 Ultra Plus FE S23 Z Fold 6 Flip 5 Note 20 10 A55 A54 M13 M53 5G M33 M23,Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra A9 Plus 5G Lite S9 A8 A7 S8 A8.0 (2019) A10.5 (2018) S7 FE S6,Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 5 4 3,Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Fold 8A,Microsoft Surface Go 2 See more | | Connector Type | USB Type C | | Current Rating | 2 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 125,154 Reviews | | Finish | Metallic | | Finish Type | Metallic | | Input Voltage | 5 volts | | Item Dimensions | 0.6 x 0.85 x 0.28 inches | | Item Weight | 10 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 0.6 x 0.85 x 0.28 inches | | Manufacturer | Basesailor | | Mfr Part Number | basesailor#001 | | Model Number | USB-CF-AM | | Number of Items | 3 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | UPC | 726679641046 | | Unit Count | 3 Count | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Basesailor - **Color:** Gray - **Connector Type:** USB Type C - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 0.6 x 0.85 x 0.28 inches ## Images ![Basesailor USB to USB C Adapter,USBC Female to USB A Male Charger Adapter | Type C Converter for iPhone 17 17e Pro Max,16 15,Apple Watch iWatch S11 S10 SE,AirPods 3,iPad mini Air,Samsung Galaxy S25 S26 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RrLOXInqL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this adapter support CarPlay?** A: It works with CarPlay in most cars, but a few models may not be compatible. Performance can vary depending on the car system and cable quality. **Q: Can this adapter transmit HDMI, VGA, or other video signals?** A: No. USB-A does not support any form of video output, including HDMI or VGA. **Q: Does this adapter work with docking stations?** A: You can use this adapter in a docking station’s USB-A port to connect USB-C accessories. However, it cannot convert a docking station’s USB-C host cable to USB-A, so full docking functions are not supported. **Q: What is the max data transfer speed and charging output?** A: Maximum data transfer speed is 480 Mbps, and charging output is up to 2 A. **Q: Can I use this adapter with a MagSafe wireless charger?** A: Yes, it works with MagSafe chargers. The actual charging speed depends on your USB-A power adapter’s output, as USB-A ports generally provide lower wattage than USB-C fast-charging standards. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny Adapters That Saved Me From Buying All New Cables - Keep Them Everywhere *by S***S on January 31, 2026* I got a new phone last year that switched to USB-C and suddenly like half my cables and chargers were useless.
