USB C vs USB

There are a lot of ways to connect USB-A devices to USB-C ports. These include:

Adapters that take up one USB-C port, and give you one USB-A port

USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple

Amazon Basics USB-C to USB-A 3.1 Gen1 Female Adapter Cable Converter

Any number of inline plug adapters, which often sell for about $10 for a 2-pack or 3-pack on Amazon

Simple USB-A hubs that have four or more USB-A ports and that plug into a USB-C port. Look for one that comes with its own power supply.

USB-C and Thunderbolt hubs and docks that give you multiple types of things, such as USB-A ports, card readers, places to plug in a display, and/or the ability to charge a laptop with "pass-through power".

Amazon, Best Buy, and office supply stores are places that you can look for the more basic adapters and USB-C hubs/docks. If you're looking for a higher-end Thunderbolt dock or hub then some vendors to consider might be Other World Computing, SonnetTech, and CalDigit.

if you only need to connect one device at a time, you could use an USB-C to USB Adapter. but if you need to have multiple devices connected at once, you could use a dock or hub. I would recommend shopping at OWC’s website for those as their main focus is Mac compatible hardware.
