USB adapter
Digital connection bridge
A USB adapter is a small device that converts one type of connection to USB or vice versa.
It bridges incompatible ports: I need a USB adapter to connect my old printer to my new laptop.
Common varieties include USB-to-Ethernet, USB-to-HDMI, and adapters between different USB connector types like USB-A to USB-C.
