Will this adapter pass video through from the USB-A to the USB-C into DVI/HDMI/VGA?

BEST ANSWER: In my experience, no. I am using it with a 2015 Mac Book Air and the Consul Series: Premium & Compact Aluminum USB-C Adapter from Monoprice. All of the other ports work for me.

No, USB-A has no built-in support for video, and this is merely a Male USB-A Female USB-C adapter - no other electronics involved.

Thanks! I haven't been able to find any adapter like this that will pass video through. I think it is a limitation of all adapters like this.

That was my thinking, until I couldn't get the video to work on one of my USB-C Multiport Adapters with HDMI. Then I found that it explicitly says that Video is not passed through. And when I checked other similar adapters, they all said the same thing, no Video pass through capability. I don't think any adapters of this type do. Sigh...

Monoprice USB-C Female to USB-A Male, 3.1 Gen 2 Adapter
Monoprice Consul Series USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it will work just fine. Although I would recommend buying USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Product # 11195 instead of the 2 units. Much cheaper and less prone to disconnecting

I have never tried with that adapter. But I did find that if you use just one USB-A, it will only transfer data and not video.

It won't connect to the iPad Pro directly, but if you are looking to connect it to your computer with a USB-A port, it would work. A better solution would probably be a USB-A to USB-C cable (like product 24287)

I have a few power related questions:
If this adapter is plugged into a normal usb 3 port, can my device, through the adapter, draw the normal 900 mA of current?
If the adapter is plugged into a normal usb 2 port, will my device, through the adapter, see it's connection as usb 2, so it knows to draw less power (500 mA is the max for normal usb 2)?
And lastly, if I plug this into a dedicated usb charging port (USB Dedicated Charging Port), is this device capable of passing through the extra power that those ports can supply? Because that would be nice for charging my phone if I get one that uses the USB C current capabilities.
Thank you!

BEST ANSWER: Regarding "if I plug this into a dedicated usb charging port (USB Dedicated Charging Port), is this device capable of passing through the extra power that those ports can supply? Because that would be nice for charging my phone if I get one that uses the USB C current capabilities."
A USB-A charger normally runs 5V, and its power capacity (W) is limited by the charger's max current, whether 6W if the charger can manage 1.2A, or maybe 10W if the charger can pump out 2A. Few phones and even cables can manage that much current, so their power is limited, and thus their battery filling speed (fewer W means fewer percent per hour).
To deliver more W and fill your battery faster, many USB-A chargers and many phones licensed Qualcomm's QuickCharge protocol. That lets the charger and the phone negotiate higher V so they can deliver more W without increasing the A.
There are some alternatives to QC, but that was common among Android phones in the US that had a USB-B Micro port for charging and data.
USB-C defined a new charging method called Power Delivery (PD) that more-or-less unifies the voltage negotiation process.
During USB-C's infancy and the transitional period from USB-A to USB-C, a very few chargers and a very few devices implemented QC over USB-C, without PD.
But if you have a modern phone with a USB-C charging port, it's very very unlikely to support both QC and PD.
If you plug your USB-C phone (through an adapter like this, or through a converter cable) into a USB-A charger, you'll almost certainly find yourself charging at the USB standard 5V with no QC negotiations to increase the V.

Works great!
Works great to add an additional USB-C port where I only had USB-A before (like a front-panel USB port).
I do wish it was slightly smaller, but all the smaller ones only seem to be USB 2.0, which is not what I want.
