What does this adapter allow me to do?
The IPUSBA-C allows you to connect a USB-C male plug or device to any standard USB-A female port or cable.

Does this adapter support data transfer as well as charging?
The IPUSBA-C is a passive connector adapter. Data transfer and charging capability will depend on the cable and devices connected on either side. For data transfer or fast charging applications, ensure the USB-A cable and devices connected through the adapter support the required standard.
