USB Type-C to Micro USB Adapter Price in Kenya

The USB Type-C to Micro USB Adapter Price in Kenya is KSh 300. This tiny gadget is the ultimate “lifesaver” for anyone living in the transition gap between old and new tech. If you have upgraded to a modern phone with a USB-C cable (like a Samsung S23 or iPhone 15) but still own older accessories like Bluetooth speakers, power banks, or older Android phones that use the classic “Micro USB” port, this adapter is for you.

Instead of carrying two different cables everywhere you go, simply attach this adapter to the end of your high-quality USB-C cable, and instantly transform it into a Micro USB charger. It supports both Fast Charging and Data Transfer, ensuring your legacy devices don’t become obsolete just because cable standards changed. Buy it today at Exelic Gadgets. Stock is available.

Why You’ll Love It (The Lifestyle Upgrade)

• The “One Cable” Rule: You can finally travel with just one high-quality USB-C cable. Use it normally for your phone, and slip this adapter on when you need to charge your older headphones or Kindle.
• Don’t Toss Old Tech: Keep using your trusty Micro USB power banks and Bluetooth speakers without hunting for that fraying old cable you lost months ago.
• Plug & Play: No software or installation needed. Just snap it onto your USB-C cable, and it works instantly.
• Fast Charging Support: Unlike cheap adapters that bottle-neck power, this adapter supports standard fast charging protocols (up to 2.4A), so that your older devices charge quickly.
• Data Sync Capable: Connect your old phone to your new USB-C laptop to transfer photos and music at 480Mbps speeds.

Deep Dive: The Tech Explained

The Conversion Logic (C to Micro)

It is important to understand the direction. This adapter has a USB-C Female port at the back and a Micro USB Male plug at the front.

• You HAVE: A USB-C Cable (the reversible one from new Samsungs).
• You WANT: To charge an old device (like a Tecno Spark 5 or a Bluetooth Speaker).
• The Result: You plug your C cable into this adapter, and now your C cable acts like a Micro USB cable.

Charging & Data Protocols

While Micro USB is an older standard, this adapter preserves the maximum capability of that standard. It supports 480Mbps data transfer, which is the limit of USB 2.0. For charging, it utilizes the standard 5V lines but can handle current up to 2.4 Amps. This means if you use a powerful wall charger and a good USB-C cable, your old device will charge at its maximum possible speed.

Durability & Build

Despite being Ksh 300, good versions of these adapters are built with an Aluminum Alloy shell. This shields the internal circuitry from interference and makes the adapter crush-resistant if you accidentally step on it. The internal connectors are often gold-plated or nickel-plated to resist corrosion, ensuring a solid “click” every time you plug it in.

Who Is This Perfect For?

• The Minimalist Traveler: You want to pack light and refuse to carry a tangled mess of different cables.
• The Power Bank Owner: Most power banks still charge via Micro USB, but your phone uses USB-C. This adapter lets you charge the bank using your phone’s charger.
• The Tech Upgrader: You just bought a new phone but still have perfectly good old headphones or cameras that use the old port.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q: Can I use this to charge my new Samsung S24? A: No. This adapter has a Micro USB tip. It is for charging older devices using your S24’s cable. It will not fit into a USB-C phone.
• Q: Does it support OTG (reading flash drives)? A: Generally No. While some expensive versions might, basic adapters like this are designed primarily for Charging and Data Transfer from a PC. Using it to plug a USB-C flash drive into an old phone usually requires a specialized OTG adapter.
• Q: Will it slow down charging? A: No. It passes through power efficiently. However, it is limited by the Micro USB port on your device (usually max 10W-18W). It won’t make an old phone charge at 45W speeds, but it won’t be slower than a regular Micro USB cable.
• Q: Is it reversible? A: The back part (USB-C) is reversible—you can plug your cable in any way. The front part (Micro USB) is not reversible—it only fits into your device one way (the trapezoid shape).
