Is it true that the device supports up to 5Gbps speeds or is the info on the page misleading?

USB 3.0 ports have 9 pins for 5gbps, if this product has only 4 pins (which the manufacturer answer is the amount it has) is a 2.0 USB port, so it can only reach 480Mbps, this is a physical limitant related to the amount of pins available regardless if you connect this cable to a 3.0 or 3.1 port, you will only get 2.0 speed. I know the manufacturer answered otherwise but 5Gbps can only happen in a 9pined connection.

can it transmit video from a USB C webcam?

You should be able to connect a USB-C webcam through the adapter to use with the computer, as long as the WebCam does not have a high power requirement.

Can i connect my type-c soundcard to my old pc which only can support usb-2 and usb-3 with this adapter ?

As long as the sound card is USB 3, then it will work with the soundcard. Thanks for choosing Satechi!! Feel free to reach back out for any inquires. - Jim T. (Satechi Tech Support)

How many pins is there inside the usb-a male plug?

In the standard USB A connector four pins are defined. Two pins are used for power and two pins are used for differential data transmission. If you look carefully at the connector you will see that the pins for the power connection (pin 1 and 4) are slightly longer. This is done on purpose to first connect the power supply when connecting a USB device, and only afterwards establish the data connection. With this sequence the chance that the driver or receiver ports of the data connection receive awkward and possible dangerous voltages is lowered substantially. Standard USB A connector pin names Pin Name Color Function 1 Vcc Red +5V supply voltage 2 D- White Data- signal line 3 D+ Green Data+ signal line 4 GND Black Supply ground

It does the job!

This is an excellent mini adapter to turn a USB type A socket into type C. As its a USB 3 compliant device, it also supports 5Gbps data transfer (assuming the USB A port you are using supports it). However, if you plug it into a USB 2.0 type A socket, you will only get USB 2 - 480mbps transfers).It works very well, is sturdy and nicely finished in aluminium.
