Káblový adaptér MediaRange MRCS216 – USB Type-A na USB Type-C, čierny

MediaRange MRCS216 is a compact cable adapter that converts a USB Type-A connection to a USB Type-C receptacle. Finished in black, it allows connection of USB-C devices to USB-A ports on laptops, power banks and other peripherals for data transfer and charging. The adapter presents a USB Type-A female interface and a USB Type-C male plug in a small, metal-bodied form factor.

Advantages

The adapter provides a simple, space-saving way to bridge older USB Type-A hosts with newer USB Type-C devices without changing existing cables. Its metal housing contributes to mechanical durability, and support for the USB 3.2 Gen 2 (also referenced as 3.1 Gen 2) transfer standard enables high-speed data throughput when connected to compatible ports and devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones, tablets or external drives with USB Type-C plugs to computers or chargers with USB Type-A ports
• Using legacy laptops and desktops that lack native USB Type-C ports with modern USB-C peripherals
• Travel kits where a small adapter reduces the need to carry multiple cables

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB Type-A (female)
• Connector 2: USB Type-C (male)
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (also labelled 3.1 Gen 2) — up to 10 Gbit/s (when supported by host and device)
• Housing material: metal (zinc alloy)
• Colour: black
• Dimensions (approx.): compact adapter body

How to use

Insert the USB Type-C male plug of the device into the USB Type-C receptacle of the adapter, then connect the adapter's USB Type-A female interface to a USB Type-A plug or cable leading to the host (computer, charger, power bank). Ensure both host and device support the intended data rate and power requirements. Use gently and avoid excessive force when mating connectors to preserve the metal housing and internal contacts.

What to consider before purchase

• Check whether your host port and the connected device support USB 3.2 Gen 2 to achieve the stated 10 Gbit/s speeds
• Confirm whether you need additional functions such as video output or high-wattage charging, which require specific port and cable support beyond a simple adapter
• Ensure physical fit and clearance on your device — compact metal housing may add slight length to the connection

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the adapter with cables and hosts that explicitly support USB 3.2 Gen 2. If high-current charging or video over USB-C is required, verify that both the host and peripheral support those features natively rather than relying on the adapter alone.
