Eaton U329-000-10G Tripp Lite USB C to USB A Adapter 10 Gbps
The Eaton Tripp Lite U329-000-10G is a compact USB-C female to USB-A male adapter for connecting devices and cables with USB-C connectors to computers, laptops, USB hubs, and other equipment with USB-A ports. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps and operates without external power or software.
Connectivity and Performance
The adapter provides a USB-A male connection on the host side and a USB-C female receptacle for a compatible USB-C cable or device connector. Eaton specifies USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance up to 10 Gbps, making the adapter suitable for high-speed data transfer with compatible hardware.
Power and Charging
The U329-000-10G can provide up to 900mA (0.9A) of downstream power for compatible USB-C devices. Eaton identifies bus-powered operation and USB charging among the adapter's features.
Video Compatibility
The U329-000-10G is intended for data transfer and does not support video transmission. It should therefore be used for USB data and compatible charging applications rather than USB-C video output.

DC Supplies Product Note
The U329-000-10G is more than a simple mechanical connector converter because its USB 3.2 Gen 2 specification supports data rates up to 10 Gbps when the connected host, cable, and device all support the required standard. One important selection detail is that Eaton specifically excludes video transmission, so this adapter should not be chosen when the intended USB-C connection is for display output.
