QuestionDoes this support video transfer from a webcam?
Asked 4 years ago by Todd.
- Answer Yes. That adapter is suitable for fast video transfers. Just remember that the cable and devices you are connected to are likely slower if its an older device or cable and your transfer speeds are only as fast as your slowest component!

QuestionCan I use this to connect my Galaxy S-10 phone to my older Samsung car phone charger?
Asked 4 years ago by Janny.
- Answer It depends on their port/connector. This adapter will convert a USB Type-C port into a USB 3.0 port. So if your newer phone has a C port for charging ("female" socket) and the car charger has a standard USB connector that goes into a phone ("male" plug)...then yes, it will work by connecting the two together. :)
