This compact microadapter converts a USB Type-A port into a USB-C socket, letting you connect USB-C cables to older computers, laptops, and hubs that only have USB-A ports.
The adapter supports USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 data transfer (no USB 3.0 pins). It provides standard 5 V power at up to 1 A — note that USB-C power delivery negotiation is not supported since the host port lacks that capability.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- USB 1.1
- USB 1.1 is an older USB connection standard with slower data transfer than USB 2.0. Compatibility with USB 1.1 can matter if you need to use the camera with older computers, though video performance may be more limited.
- USB 2.0
- USB 2.0 is a wired connection standard used for data and power between a device and a computer or compatible host. For this camera, it tells you what kind of port it plugs into and helps indicate whether older or newer computers are likely to work with it.
- USB-C
- A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
