Question 1

Can you tell just by looking which orientation will be the fast (usb 3.0) one? or do you just have to test it with each device/cable?

Accepted Answer

Just make sure that our adapter is plugged into the 3.0 / 3.1 USB-A interface, then the USB-C cable in your hand will determine the orientation of its high speed. We don’t know the positive and negative poles of your cable. So just test it each time. But You can remember the high-speed orientation of the cable to avoid repeating the test next time.

Question 2

Why would you want the connector to operate at low speed? You're seriously expecting people to plug the usb-c cable in and run a speed test? wṭf?

Accepted Answer

Hello, thank you for your question

About charging: This product supports fast charging and does not require you to flip the device.

About data transfer: Why does this product sometimes need to flip the device to implement USB 3.1 (10Gbps)? This is because we have considered the higher requirements of customers for data transfer. Some products on the market have chosen to support double-sided USB 3.0 data transmission, the transmission speed is 5Gbps. The product chooses a faster USB 3.1 data transmission with a transmission speed of up to 10Gbps. In order to reduce the cost of the chip and allow more people to experience the convenience brought by this technology, the product only supports single-sided USB 3.1 data transmission. We believe that customers can easily judge the difference between USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 transmission speed. When you find that the transmission speed is slow, you only need to flip the device to experience the unparalleled transmission speed. This is the original intention of our design.

Question 3

Will this work with a usb-c webcam connecting to a usb-a laptop?

Accepted Answer

If the port of your usb-c webcam is usb2.0 / 3.0, then our products will be suitable for you. If your usb-c webcam port is usb3.1, then obviously it won't work, you need a computer c port with usb3.1.
BTW, usb 2.0 / 3.0 cable is generally thin, while usb3.1 cable is relatively thick.

Question 4

Will this be fast enough to plug in a thunderbolt 3 cable?

Accepted Answer

The highest speed of this C to USB converter is 10Gbps, and the highest speed of Thunderbolt 3 cable is 40Gbps. There is no problem to use USB-A compatible device after connecting, but it can not reach the speed of Thunderbolt 3 protocol (40Gbps).
