This article covers Chenyang USB Cメス→USBオスアダプター USB Type C.

Overview

The Chenyang USB C Female to USB A Male Adapter is a simple, no-fuss cable adapter that bridges the gap between modern USB-C devices and older USB-A ports. If you own a laptop or desktop with only USB-A ports but have recently purchased a USB-C smartphone, tablet, or external SSD, this adapter lets you connect them directly using a standard USB-C cable. It's also handy for plugging a USB-C charging cable into a USB-A power source. The integrated cable design means no additional dongles, and its compact size makes it travel-friendly.

Connectivity & Compatibility

This adapter features a USB Type-C female receptacle and a USB 3.0 A male plug. It supports USB 3.0 (5Gbps) data transfer speeds and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. It works with a wide range of USB-C devices: smartphones, tablets, external SSDs, cameras, game controllers, and more. Simply insert the USB-A male end into your computer or charger, then connect your USB-C device's cable to the female USB-C port. Note that this adapter is not rated for USB Power Delivery (PD) beyond standard 5V/1.5A (or USB BC 1.2), nor does it support Alternate Mode (DisplayPort/HDMI) or Thunderbolt. For basic data sync and trickle charging, it's perfectly adequate.

Product Info

This adapter is sold under the Chenyang brand and is available on Japan for around ¥2,800. Dimensions are roughly 10 x 10 x 1 cm and weight is just 20 grams, making it extremely portable. It comes as a single cable adapter with no additional accessories. Market positioning is entry-level: it serves users who need a straightforward, inexpensive solution for USB-C to USB-A conversion without demanding advanced features.

Best Use Cases

This product is ideal for: Owners of older PCs who need to connect USB-C peripherals (phones, SSDs) to USB-A ports. The adapter enables data transfer and charging without replacing the computer. Travelers and commuters who carry USB-C cables but encounter USB-A-only chargers or laptops. At 20g, it slips into any bag pocket. * Users who want to consolidate cables – instead of carrying both USB-A-to-C and USB-C-to-C cables, a single USB-C cable plus this adapter covers both scenarios. Not recommended for: Users requiring fast charging (USB PD >15W) or video output via USB-C. Those needs demand a higher-spec adapter or dock.
