FAQ

What is a USB-C adapter used for?

A USB-C adapter is used to connect devices with USB-C ports to other types of ports or connectors, such as USB-A, HDMI, Ethernet, or SD cards. It allows you to expand the functionality of a USB-C device, enabling compatibility with a wider range of accessories and peripherals.

How do I know if a USB-C adapter supports 4K video output?

Adapters that support 4K video output usually specify the maximum resolution in their product description. If you need to connect to a 4K monitor, look for an adapter that explicitly mentions 4K or "UHD" (Ultra High Definition) support. The adapter should also support the required bandwidth and video standards (such as HDMI 2.0).

Can I connect a USB-A device to a USB-C port with an adapter?

Yes, you can use a USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect older USB-A devices, such as flash drives, keyboards, or mice, to a USB-C port. This is especially useful on newer laptops or phones that only have USB-C ports.

Can I use a USB-C adapter for connecting to a wired network (Ethernet)?

Yes, there are USB-C to Ethernet adapters that allow you to connect your device to a wired network. These are especially useful for devices that lack an Ethernet port, like ultrabooks or tablets, providing a stable and reliable network connection for tasks that require more bandwidth or stability than Wi-Fi can offer.
