USB-A on a USB-C Laptop: The Simple Fix ~ Plugable Technologies

TL;DR

The Plugable USBC-2PORT turns one USB-C data port on your laptop into two USB-A ports.
It's bus-powered and driverless, so there's no power adapter, software, or setup required.
It works with compatible Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, Linux, and Android systems.
It's a USB 2.0 data hub with up to 480 Mbps shared between its two ports.
It's designed for low-power accessories, not laptop charging, high-speed USB 3 storage, or multiple bus-powered hard drives.

Your laptop may have moved to USB-C, but your keyboard, mouse receiver, USB headset, and flash drives may all still use USB-A. Sometimes you don't need a full-size dock or 10 additional ports. You just need USB-A back.

How the USBC-2PORT works

Connect the USBC-2PORT to a USB-C data port on your laptop, and that single connection becomes two USB-A ports.

What you can connect

That could mean connecting a keyboard and mouse, keeping two wireless receivers plugged in, or adding a flash drive alongside another everyday accessory. It's also a good fit for security keys.

No drivers, no power adapter

Because it's bus-powered and driverless, there's no power adapter, software, or setup required. Just plug it in and use it with a compatible Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, or Linux computer.

What it's built for (and what it isn't)

This is intentionally a simple USB 2.0 data hub, with up to 480 Mbps shared between its two ports. It's designed for low-power accessories. It's a passive, data-only splitter with built-in over-current protection to keep your accessories safe.

Great for	Not the right fit for
Wireless mouse and keyboard receivers	Laptop charging
Wired keyboards and mice	High-speed USB 3 storage
USB headsets	Multiple bus-powered hard drives
Flash drives and security keys	Fast phone charging

Small enough for your laptop bag

Its flexible 30-centimeter cable has reinforced strain relief, and it's small enough to keep in your laptop bag, so your older USB-A accessories don't become useless just because your new computer has USB-C.
