Question 1

What does this adapter let me connect?

Accepted Answer

It is a USB Type-A female to USB Type-C female adapter that converts a USB-A port to USB-C, or a USB-C port to USB-A, so you can connect two USB cables together for remote expansion. It is compatible with connecting phones, tablets, flash drives, mice, hubs, and other USB-C peripherals to laptops and chargers.

Question 2

Does it support fast charging and data transfer?

Accepted Answer

The listing states it provides data transfer up to 5Gbps and supports a maximum power output of 5V/2.1A, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 (480Mbps). One reviewer, however, reported that it did not transfer power in their specific setup.

Question 3

Is it truly bi-directional as the title says?

Accepted Answer

The title and listing describe it as bi-directional, but one reviewer said it "works in one direction, not bi directional." The listing also describes converting either a USB-A port to USB-C or a USB-C port to USB-A.

Question 4

Is it good value compared to buying new cables?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers describe it as very inexpensive and way cheaper than buying all new cables, and note the two-pack is smart because you inevitably need more than one.

Question 5

Is it small enough to use in a crowded charger?

Accepted Answer

One reviewer said it is very small and small enough to allow charging another device in a 2-socket USB charger, and the listing describes a compact design convenient to carry in a bag during travel.
