USB-C to USB what speed is the USB?

[spinedoc77]

I'm looking to buy this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-u...hite/6622138.p?id=1219664844966&skuId=6622138

But I can't find specs as to what speed the USB side is, whether it's 2.0 or 3.0. Even on Apples site there is no mention of this. I'm really just looking for an OTG adapter for my USB-C tablet, and the Apple one is the only one available locally as I need it today.

That adapter should be usb 3.1 Gen 1 (ie. usb 3.0 with a usb-c connection). 5Gbps.

That's the spec of the port on the retina MacBook it's designed for. I have them both here in front of me.

Personally, I spent half the money and got this: http://www.nonda.co/products/usb-c-to-usb-3-0-mini-adapter
Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Smallest-Aluminum-Adapter-Designed-Germany/dp/B015Z7XE0A

Awesome thank you, I wonder why Apple doesn't list it on their site. Some of the ones I'm looking at on Amazon say 10Gbps, but I'd rather have Apple quality.

Nice, I just ordered one. Looks very small.

It is. Almost too small perhaps. I keep a cheap USB3 SD card reader plugged into mine to provide a bit larger and less easily lost object. Of course that reader is why I bought it so it's the best place for it anyway.
One note: I found it can be a bit stiff to connect the first few times. I was on the verge of returning it to Amazon due to it not working when I read the reviews and discovered that aspect. Now it's great.

I don't know if you bought the Apple one yet, or what your exact needs are, but they did just start selling a lightning to usb-c camera adapter http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter?fnode=37 which has the added benefit of a charge port which means it can support more peripherals. With the basic adapters some peripherals may not receive enough power.
