if they can deliver usb 3.0 speeds might be worth the price. if not these are available for cheaper from other brands and included other adapters.

We have both the Anker (2 of the USBS A to C), and the UGreen set of 4. Transfer speeds are the same for both brands. The Anker adapters are WAY over priced.

Can these be used for charging and turn usb-a cable equivalent to usb-c cable, or will all the special usb-c charging stuff like PD not work on usb-a cables?

Curious do you have something plugged in that takes advantage of usb 3 speeds? Like a m.2 drive with usb 3 connection?

USB PD 3.0 and PPS require pins that's aren't present in USB-A, so you'll definitely miss out on some charging speed.

Virtually the same thing is $1.25 for the two and thus $2.50 for the four as listed here at Dollar Tree!

Are you sure the Dollar Tree product is USB 3.0 data speed?

USB-C is just a physical plug format. To get the extra features with USB 3/PD/etc you'll need a specialty cable made for that.

If the cable, plug, and device (all 3) aren't made for it, it'll just work as a regular USB 2.0 connection.

They're not, they're USB 2. Not 'virtually the same'.

Having said that, those will work for 90% of people. They're likely using them with USB-C 2.0 cables anyway.

It's hit or miss whether your local ones have them. Some carry them, some don't.

Agree. I used an USB cable tester on 100 USB cables that have accumulated over the years and found the USB standard and Power Delivery rating for each one. Not a single cable was rated higher than USB 2. Cannot use USB 3 if the cable does not support it.
