Buy a USB-A to USB-C cable. Adaptors are not standard compliant and might cause issues. For example, with two USB-A male to USB-C female adapters and a USB-C to USB-C cable you can create a USB-A to USB-A cable which might cause damage to devices you connect with it.

USB A to USB C car cable - Apple Community
I plugged the lightening end to my current iPhone 11Pro. This did not work for me. Does anyone know if a special adapter might be necessary for this to work or if it would work? Thanks. 1283 2 ... Although Apple may not make a USB A to USB C cable, they do sell Belkin brand.

r/UsbCHardware on Reddit: USB-A to USB-C works only one-way? a real riddle.
June 20, 2023 -

So I got this USB-A to USB-C cable to connect a PS5 controller to my PC for some quality gaming with haptic feedback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RMLWVL6. Now the 90-degree angled USB-C connector that connects to the controller makes the cable run too close to the trigger buttons which is really annoying. So I tried flipping the cable and using a USB-A to USB-C adapter to give the cable some more room away from the buttons, effectively making the cable USB-C on both ends. And here's the weird part that I don't get:

  1. If I connect the adapter USB-C to the PC, and the "original" USB-C to the controller, the controller is recognized by the PC and works well.

  2. But if I connect it exactly the other way around (i.e. original USB-C to PC and adapter USB-C to controller), the controller is not recognized by the PC!

How can this be?

It’s a little confusing, because both USB Type-A and USB Type-C can support either of those standards. However, only USB-C is able to support the latest high-speed data standards (USB 3.2, and Thunderbolt 3).
