USB-C adapter

Cable connection bridge

A USB-C adapter converts between USB-C ports and other connection types—allowing devices with USB-C to connect to older USB-A cables, HDMI displays, SD cards, or headphone jacks.

The proliferation of USB-C as a universal standard has made adapters essential for bridging old and new technology: I need a USB-C adapter to connect my laptop to the projector.
