Core Features and Technical Specifications
High-Speed USB 3.0 Data Transfer
Utilizing an advanced data routing layout, this adapter fully supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to 5Gbps. This Ugreen wide data lane allows high-definition photos, 4K video clips, and dense file archives to transfer smoothly between devices. It maintains complete hardware backward compatibility with legacy USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 standards.
Fast Charging and Power Distribution
Beyond data synchronization, the adapter features built-in power delivery lanes that safely support standard USB fast charging protocols. It accommodates an electrical current up to 5V at 3A (15W), ensuring that connected smartphones, tablets, and portable accessories top up quickly and receive a steady, reliable power supply during active data cycles.
Built-In Pull-Up Safety Resistor
To guarantee absolute hardware safety during fast charging and data transmission, the adapter incorporates an integrated 56K Ohm pull-up resistor. This critical component automatically regulates current flow to match the capabilities of the host port, shielding your connected devices and the host machine from overcurrent, overvoltage, and electrical short-circuits.
Ultra-Compact Aluminum Enclosure
The adapter is encased in a premium, minimalist aluminum alloy housing that ensures structural durability and excellent heat dissipation. Measuring only a few centimeters in length, its low-profile design sits nearly flush against the host port. This compact footprint prevents physical port strain and keeps adjacent USB ports accessible for other peripherals
Key Benefits for Users
-
- Legacy Hardware Preservation: Instantly updates older desktop towers, wall bricks, and laptops to interface with new USB-C accessories.
- Premium Contact Finish: Corrosion-resistant nickel-plated interfaces lower contact resistance and resist atmospheric oxidation for long-term reliability.
- Pure Plug and Play Setup: Operates entirely at a hardware level across Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android without driver installation.
- High Port Security: A tight, wiggle-free female receptacle holds your incoming Type-C cables securely to prevent accidental data disconnections.
