USB C to USB Adapter, Type C Thunderbolt 4 OTG Converter, USB C Male to USB 3.0 Female Adapter (3-Pack) for Apple MacBook Pro, Mac Book, iPad, Samsung Galaxy S20-S23 and More (Black/Grey/Silver)

TL:DR - It Works!I wanted to use my 11th Generation Fire 10 HD tablet run a Software Defined Radio (SDR) dongle with the SDR Touch Android app. The dongle gets its power and communicates through it USB-A male connector, and the tablet has a USB-C receptacle. In order to get the tablet to provide power to the SDR dongle, I needed to 2 things:- Put the tablet in USB Host Mode.- Get a USB On-The-Go (OTG) adapter, like the Henrety USB-C to USB OTG Adapter.Fire tablets are not, by default, set to USB Host Mode, and normally acts as a Device. USB Host Mode mode enables the tablet to act as a Host, which allows it to power other Devices through its USB port. I will not explain how to set up USB Host Mode, because it is non-intuitive, and can be better explained by searching the Internet with the term "USB Host Mode" in reference to the Fire tablet.The USB OTG adapter is special because it has a pin in it set to Ground, whereas in normal USB cables, the pin is floating (not connected to anything). When a Device like a tablet or smart phone is set to USB Host Mode, and it sees the grounded pin on what is plugged into its USB port, this signals the Device to act like a Host (i.e. like a computer) and provides power through its USB port, rather than accepting power for being recharged. If an OTG adapter is not plugged into the USB port, then the tablet or phone will behave as a Device and recharge as normal when plugged into a charger, battery bank, or computer.This Henrety USB-A female to USB-C male adapter works perfectly. If I could suggest an improvement, it would be to add a LED to show the user that it is receiving power from the USB Host Mode device.

I use this to connect to my phone and they work great. Connecting keyboards, connecting ethernet adapters, connecting capture cards, connecting cameras. It all just works with this. Can even throw on a USB hub and add even more items. Must have if you use your phone for a lot of techie type of purposes.

Worked with my new MacBook Pro 2024. Now I can use all my devices from my old computer like external hard drive!

Me pareció muy útil ya que tengo una laptop lenovo y quería conectar un mouse pequeño del lado derecho me es de gran utilidad

Different colors but they're all A to C and work fine. Great for phone-vs-flash drive shenanigans.

I love my new MacBook Air, but it has no USB port! USB ports are just not that old school! I have a printer and thumb drives that need USB capability. I’m glad there is an attachment that helps us keep up with the changing technology!

works ok so far..about what I expected. could be a better fit, but they work ok and that is good enough for medium duty required.

Pros: well made, good packaging, good value for money - until your device is damaged.Cons: these are oversized and are likely to damage laptop or phone USB-C sockets.I wanted to like these, and I did until I tried to plug one into a USB-C socket on my laptop. It wouldn't go in. Maybe I bought the wrong one? Nope, it's the right one. So I pushed it harder and it suddenly went in with a definite click I could hear and feel. Uh oh, something's not right here. There was absolutely no wiggle. The plug was much too tight in the socket. I pulled it out and that took much more force than normal too.Could it be the laptop's fault? Probably not, since every other USB-C plug I have ever inserted there has felt completely normal. I tried again, on a spare phone... same problem. OK, no more tests, I don't want to break anything valuable. So I tried the other two adapters just to see if they would go in with the usual amount of force and they wouldn't, so I stopped. Same thing with the spare phone, and another laptop. OK, stop, before something really does break.A search of the buyer feedback quickly returned dozens of comments reporting the same problem. OK, that's it, I didn't get a box of duds, and they're going back for refund.So don't fall into the trap of thinking that a tight fit is good, it isn't, it's risky for your expensive phone or laptop. A damaged USB-C socket is bad news, replacing it would require disassembly and the use of a hot air rework station. For almost everyone, that means buy a new laptop because saving your damaged one is cost prohibitive.Take a look at the photos I attached above. To be clear, this USB-C socket was NOT damaged by this adapter, but this is what is likely to happen if you force in a plug or adapter that is larger than the USB-C specification calls for. Once that folded seam has popped open, the socket is useless, and replacing it is very nontrivial. Don't let this happen to your expensive device by using an otherwise very nice $2 adapter that does not conform dimensionally to the official USB-C specifications. The USB-A side of the adapter is a bit tight too, as others have noted, but that does not have the same risk.A note to the manufacturer: Why? The adapter is really nice in every other way, and if you fix this size problem I would definitely buy many more. It's good to have a fit that is not loose, but it seems like you have overcompensated to the point that it places expensive devices at real risk of damaged sockets. Please fix this.
