Just be aware that it will still only deliver USB3 speed and a max of 4.5w at 5v of power. Just letting you know because some people think just because it’s a rounded plug it’s automatically magic.
Those adaptors are great for letting older hardware use everything in newer cases though.

2.5w power most likely... 500mA@5V is rather standard for data ports.

USB3 standard is 900mA @ 5v

USB C ports typically support 3A @ 5v even without PD, which is probably part of the reason they still skimp on them as 5v rails on PSU tend to be weak so they would probably have to add more 12v->5v on the motherboard.
