Description

StarTech USBCAUDIO2 USB-C to 3.5mm TRRS Headphone/Headset Jack Audio Adapter

Overview

The StarTech USBCAUDIO2 is a compact adapter that bridges the gap between modern USB-C ports and legacy 3.5mm TRRS audio devices. It's designed for users who need to connect standard headphones or headsets with a microphone to laptops, tablets, or desktops equipped only with USB-C, enabling clear audio input and output. This adapter is particularly useful in environments where existing audio peripherals must be integrated with newer hardware, such as connecting a headset to a USB-C-only laptop for conference calls or audio monitoring.

Compatibility

This adapter supports standard 3.5mm TRRS connectors, adhering to both OMTP and CTIA configurations. It is compatible with any device featuring a USB Type-C port that supports audio output and input, including most modern laptops, ultrabooks, and tablets running Windows, macOS, or ChromeOS. It functions as a plug-and-play device, requiring no additional drivers for basic audio functionality.

Installation Notes

The adapter operates within a standard temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). For storage, it should be kept between -10°C to 70°C (14°F to 158°F) with a humidity range of 10 to 85% RH. The device connects via a USB 2.0 Type-C port and features a 3.5mm stereo jack for audio output and microphone input.
