Does the job perfectly
Sturdy connector. Perfect tool if your cable bag has a mix of old & new cables

Works well but EVERYTHING about it confounds me!
I have SO many questions! The more I tested this cable, the more confused I became. 1) This cable DOES succeed in 10 Gbps data transfer (see picture with CrystalDiskMark results. (1000 MB/s is approximately equal to 10 Gbps). 2) This cable works equally well in either orientation of the adapter relative to attached USB-C cable. (While that seems like it should be a given, 2 other similar adapters from other companies only worked at 10 Gbps in one orientation of the adapter, so I'm very happy with this point on this adapter.) 3) BUT, when I connected this adapter (via a known/trusted/pre-tested Anker USB-C 4.0 cable) to a Treedix USB wire/pin tester, the test results are not showing ANY of the TX/RX pins being connected. That 'usually' means a cable is USB 2.0 only (without TX/RX wires in the cable at all). But this adapter definitely does use the TX/RX wires since it can do 10 Gbps speed. So why do USB pin testers not light the TX/RX wires? Is anything special going on in adapter that would explain this? 4) The 2 pictures from the other tester from Bit Trade also reflect only USB 2.0 wires being connected in the adapter. You can see the 'USB 2.0' lights are lit up, but the USB 3.2 lights (connected to the TX/RX lines) are not lit. But again, that can't be true based on this adapter's demonstrated 10 Gbps speed? What's going on? 5) Using the Bit Trade tester with a USB-C cable connected to the A-side of the tester on one end and the Monoprice adapter on the other end, the tester reads the adapter as advertising 2 different Rp pull-up resistors: A56 k Ohm resistor on one CC line and 22K ohm resistor on the other CC line. The 56 k Ohm resistor is expected, normal, and required by the USB-IF spec. But there is NOT supposed to be a 22 K ohm resistor here! A 22 k Ohm resistor is not allowed here by USB-IF spec and could cause a USB-A source port to try to send more power than it is capable of providing and overheat. I hope that somehow this tester reading is inaccurate since I really like this adapter but this seems like an issue. 6) When I connect the same cable/adapter connection to the B side of the Bit Trade tester, the MP adapter advertises a 5.1 K ohm pull-down resistor. This is surprising because I don't expect to see a change in the resistor just by switching from the A to B ports on the tester. A 5.1 k ohm resistor would be used when the USB-C side is the source/host side and the USB-A side is the device/sink side. So I wondered if this adapter was allowing power flow in BOTH directions (which I have not seen before with similar adapters). But when I tried testing power flow, it only worked in the expected USB-A to USB-C direction, but not from USB-C to USB-A. So while I LOVE the speed of this adapter, I am very confused that it shows weird results for every test I tried. I hope Monoprice has some idea of why i see these things. And the tester seeing a 22 k ohm resistor is worrisome so I am especially interested in understanding why that is present.

An important Adapter to have..
I've purchased a number of Monoprice USB-C Female to USB-A Male, 3.1 Gen 2 Adapters over the years. I'm always glad that I have one handy when I have a device with a USB-C Male connector cable that I need to plug into a device that has a Female USB-A outlet. These adapters make it unnecessary to carry around the larger USB hubs.

Works with my Webcam
Didn't have an available USB-C port on my monitor's USB hub, so I purchased this hoping I could connect my Logitech Brio 501 Webcam. Worked like a charm!

Solid connection
This is at the end of a cable that gets bounced around frequently. Both connections have stayed solid in a less than ideal environment.

Absolutely perfect. Got it for my jabra evolve2 65 headset. Battery life is best that I've experienced.

Works
Worked with my USB-C DAC without any problems. Did a lot of research and this one appeared to be the most reliable.

USB-C for IPAD
Worked Great. I now have a way to charge my IPAD in my car. The charging cord for the IPAD is a USB-C. My car has only std USB ports.

This adapter is used to interface with two different devices. This is so that I don't have purchase an additional costly device.

Great, simple product
Why isn't this adaptor more popular. Simple easy to use. Useful product as so many are going away from the USB connections now.

Works great!
Works great to add an additional USB-C port where I only had USB-A before (like a front-panel USB port). I do wish it was slightly smaller, but all the smaller ones only seem to be USB 2.0, which is not what I want.

Would buy again.
Works as described with no issues. Would have been 5 stars if it was a little cheaper.
