Did you get the latest Type C device only to find out you also need new charging cables?In this deal you can charge in Type C simply and without needing to replace your cables.

With a Type B plug on one end and a Type C on the other, this simple adapter lets you instantly upgrade your regular Type B cable into a Type C. You simply plug the BlitzWolf adapter into the end of your regular cable for an instant connection.

Using an adapter also means if you have multiple devices, some with Type C and some with the regular Type B, you can use one cable for both devices.

Make the Type C transition easily with this OzBargian deal and get an adapter today for only USD $ 1.99.

  Are these benson approved (or is that even relevant?)

    has not been tested (yes, it is relevant).

    people in previous deals have reported no issues (apparently it has passed CheckR tests, but that test is not conclusive), but no, it has not been approved.

      does the adapter impact quick charge compatibility?

        from what i understand, yes it will.

        if it is spec compliant, i believe it will only allow charging up to 1.5A (maybe 2.4A? i forget). if it is not spec compliant, it may allow charging up to 2.4A.

        but either way, it won't allow usb-c quick charging at full 3A.

        2.4A may be enough to register as "quick charging" on your device, but it won't be the full 3A. if you want full 3A, you need to use a usb-c charger.

        @caprimulgus: So if we have a QC3.0 type-c charger, we can plug the adapter to charge our micro-b devices. But won't the micro-b port limit the current?

        In a different scenario, would we use a USB type-c cable + micro-b adapter from a USB QC3.0 port; or just type-c cable + micro-b adapter from QC3.0 type-c charger? So would the current be limited at any point?

        Seems Benson Leung was pointing out about the 56k Ohm resistance needed, so I'm wondering if these are compliant?

        @lovepeoplenotmoney:

        So if we have a QC3.0 type-c charger, we can plug the adapter to charge our micro-b devices. But won't the micro-b port limit the current?

        firstly, QC3.0 is not compliant with type C, so to my understanding, a type C port shouldn't even be offering QC3.0, as the spec forbids it. (see here: https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/cEvVQLXhyRX)

        although, some devices do support QC3.0 over type-C (eg. LG G5), so I guess Qualcomm doesn't really care about the USB-C spec!

        in terms of what would happen if you use this adapter on a QC3.0 type c charger (or a spec compliant type c charger), i don't really know…but yes, i would assume the device would limit the current that is drawn. the charger will only put out what the device draws, so i'm guessing this should be fine.

        In a different scenario, would we use a USB type-c cable + micro-b adapter from a USB QC3.0 port;

        not sure what you're doing here…the QC3.0 port is USB-A, and you're using a type-c cable and a micro-b adapter? I don't understand how these would connect to each other! (you have 3 types of USB, and only one adapter!)

        or just type-c cable + micro-b adapter from QC3.0 type-c charger? So would the current be limited at any point?

        as above. without looking into it, i would assume it would work and current would be limited by the device.

        sorry, if that was no help! i don't have any QC3.0 devices, so haven't paid much attention to it…someone else may be more helpful!

        tl:dr - if you're using this adapter to charge a micro-B device from a USB-C charger, then it's probably ok.

        @caprimulgus: what about qc2.0

        i think he is basically asking if quick charge will be impacted

        @caprimulgus: First scenario is charger + type-c cable + micro-b adapter into a micro-b device, the device limits the current. But does the micro-b adapter also limit the current?

        2nd scenario, the charger port is USB-A, connected via a USB type-c cable, connected to a type-c micro-b adapter (the advertised product).

        3rd scenario, the charger port is type-c, connected by a type-c cable on both ends, connected to a type-c micro-b adapter (the advertised product).

        So your conclusion said

        tl:dr - if you're using this adapter to charge a micro-B device from a USB-C charger, then it's probably ok.

        Does your conclusion mean all three scenarios charge at 3A?

        @lovepeoplenotmoney:

        i'm still confused by your scenarios…the advertised product is micro-b (female) to type-c (male), not the other way around. so the 2nd and 3rd scenarios will not connect. you're using the wrong adapter.

        Does your conclusion mean all three scenarios charge at 3A?

        if both the device and charger are QC3.0, then i assume so, as the device should limit the charge. as far as i know, the adapter should not effect QC3.0.

        just to clarify, there is QC2.0/QC3.0 quick charging and there is type-c quick charging - these are NOT the same thing. (my answer to furythree above was talking about type c quick charging)

        @caprimulgus: Thanks, you've answered most of the uncertainty I had. How about micro-b male to type-c female?

        should be the same, regardless of which way the adapter is going.

  I purchased 5 of these about a month ago and they appear to be a quality item.

  These have been $1.99 for a while now. Where is the deal? Or it this just spamming?
