Use your existing MicroUSB cables to charge your USB-C devices, or connect to any new USB-C equipment computer!
This USB Type-C to Micro-USB Adapter lets you connect standard Micro-USB cables to your USB Type-C equipped computer. Use this adapter to adapt from Type-C, to the popular Micro-B USB 2.0 (Female) standard, with data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps + USB device charging up to 2.4A.
The sleek design of this tiny adapter is such that it can connect discreetly to the end of your Micro USB Cable, without disrupting the stylish appearance of your cables. Perfect for use with our range of Black Avencore Micro USB Cables.
So, it's finally here! The latest USB 3.1 Type-C standard has arrived to revolutionise the conectivity world! "But what exactly is this new version of USB" I hear you say... well let me explain...
USB 3.1 SuperSpeed Type-C: Simplified
With the USB 3.1 Type-C plug, we get a new plug design that is reversible, meaning it inserts with either orientation (no more fiddling for the USB socket in the dark, only to find you have the connector up the wrong way). But physical differences aside, USB 3.1 can now support data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps - that's twice that of USB 3.0. Furthermore, the power and charging ability of the cables has been greatly increased... and if that wasn't enough, USB 3.1 Type-C cables can now be used natively to carry AV signals. These AV singals are natively compatible with HDMI, DisplayPort and more when using the relevant USB 3.1 cables. Therefore, a single USB 3.1 Type-C cable can be used as a data transfer cable, power cord for your laptop, and a AV cable to your monitor all at the same time! Amazing!
One cable to rule them all
So USB 3.1 sounds amazing - and it is - but most of the new features (AV functions and increased power output, plus 10Gbps speeds) are only supported when using a USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-C Cable, or a Type-C to AV (HDMI, DisplayPort etc) cable. So until the world is full of Type-C compatible devices, backwards compatibility to older USB 3.0 and 2.0 standards will be the main role of USB 3.1 cables...
...and that brings me to this handy adapter which allows your legacy Micro-USB 2.0 cables work on your USB 3.1 system! Ideal for all those new MacBook and Chromebook owners out there looking to utilise their existing cables and hardware.

These days, a single monitor setup almost feels like a punishment. The experience of constantly expanding and minimising windows to perform a simple task knowing how easy it would be with a second monitor is frankly archaic. So this must be what Marty McFly felt like in 1955. Now unless you're a masochist, it might be time to introduce your display to a friend or two and experience how much better things can be. [
