MX USB Type C Female To Micro USB A Male 3.0 Adapter (MX-4089)

A huge amount of external hard drives, older phones, and peripheral hubs still ship with a Micro USB 3.0 connector, while most of today's laptops and chargers have standardised on Type-C. This adapter sits in between: the Type-C side goes into the modern device or charger, and the Micro USB side accepts the cable the older peripheral already came with. Because it's built to the USB 3.0 spec rather than a basic 2.0 adapter, it preserves the higher transfer speeds a 3.0-rated external drive is actually capable of, instead of silently bottlenecking it down to USB 2.0 rates the way a mismatched cheap adapter can. It's a small, pocketable fix for the awkward transition period where not every cable in a drawer matches the ports on a new machine.
