This adapter may be used to connect USB Type-A cables and peripherals such as keyboards, flash drives, and card readers to your Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports.

In addition to efficiently dissipating heat during sustained data transfers, the durable aluminum housing can withstand everyday bumps, even when kept in your pocket or accessory bag.
