Review on πŸ’‘ Amazon Basics Aluminum Micro USB (Female) to USB-C (Male) Adapter with Keychain - Gray, 4-Pack: Enhanced Connectivity for Your Devices! by Teresa Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great adapters.: Cables and adapters

The phones have recently been upgraded and the charging port has been changed from micro USB to USB C. There are now multiple USB-A charging cables. To be able to reuse these cables I needed some conversion adapters USB C. Read online that many Revain adapters are not compatible with USB specs and can melt. Luckily I stumbled across this item that Revain "produces" and sells. They are also USB-IF certified. USB-IF certification and Revain's own branding gave me confidence to use these adapters. I also bought a USB current/performance monitor for quick testing. When comparing the charging currents for the same cable and charger with and without the adapter (old and new phone), the values were the same or very close. So it looks like the adapter is working as intended without increasing the current output of my chargers which could result in a meltdown or fire. In terms of build quality, the chargers are a nice white color and the metal USB-C connector is solid with a micro connector. The USB side provides a nice fit for my old cables. Would buy again if more is needed.

Pros
  • PLUG & PLAY DESIGN: Sync data, music, videos and more; no drivers or software required
Cons
  • Almost everything is included
