- my cassette player is a CD player (with a cheap adapter)

- my VGA port is an HDMI port (with a cheap adapter)

- my wall outlet is a micro-USB port (with a cheap adapter)

- my Lightning port is a headphone jack (with a cheap adapter)

Adapter-based compatibility is so convenient.

All of these are active adapters USB-C to USB-A is passive(except a resistor). You can use USB-C to MicroUSB-B instead of USB-A to MicroUSB-B cables if your device is not hardwired.
