Bluetooth Adapters

Bluetooth® adapters, also called dongles, connect to your mobile device, laptop or PC and provide a Bluetooth connection service. These adapters are usually small USB plug-and-play units that contain an antenna for transmitting and receiving data and a couple of Bluetooth chips. Some units are larger and are for use on a desktop to increase audio connectivity options for non-wireless devices or to boost wireless coverage range.

Connect Peripherals Without the Tangle of Wires

Bluetooth technology lets users connect without using wires. Bluetooth adapters feature a USB interface for simple connectivity and compatibility with a range of compatible computers, wireless accessories and devices. The nano form factor of most mini USB Bluetooth adapters makes them suitable for leaving in your laptop during travel, and they easily fit into USB ports of desktops without disrupting other cables around them. 

Turn Your Phone into a Wireless Modem Using Bluetooth Dongles

Smartphones with 3G, 4G or 5G network access provide Internet connections in many places where there is not a Wi-Fi® signal. Connect a Bluetooth adapter to your laptop and create a wireless bridge that converts your phone into a Bluetooth modem, so you have access to the web anywhere the smartphone has access to the network. Linux™-compatible Bluetooth adapters and other wireless adapters provide custom PC builds with instant access to the Internet.

Utilize Fast Data Transfer Rates Between Connected Devices

Bluetooth 4.0 adapters provide fast data transfer rates expected in wireless networking for a lag-free listening experience. Enjoy steady connections with keyboards, printers, speakers, controllers, headsets and phones. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology support reduces power consumption for your application. Most Bluetooth adapters are backward compatible with other devices bearing the official Bluetooth logo under the Bluetooth Logo Certification Program for ease of use and installation.

Equip Your Car Stereo with Wireless Capability Using a Bluetooth Transmitter

These Bluetooth adapters play audio and music through your vehicle’s stereo when plugged in and paired up with compatible devices. An auto-sync feature allows the transmitter to remember your phone, while AUX line-in connects to non-Bluetooth devices for audio source versatility. Some transmitters add Bluetooth connectivity to any audio output device with a 3.5mm auxiliary output, RCA output or headset output jack. A dual-streaming feature allows for connecting two Bluetooth headphones simultaneously, and support for Bluetooth 5.0 ensures a wireless range of up to 50 feet for versatile equipment placement.

Stream Clear Digital Sound from Wired Devices Using Bluetooth Audio Transmitters/Receivers

Connect digital and analog sources to the TOSLINK and stereo jacks of Bluetooth adapters that support audio transmission and receiving to pass wired input audio to the wired system while transmitting to Bluetooth devices. Some hubs have a select volume boost for analog input and output devices for easy optimization, while built-in speakers provide a voice-assisted and simplified setup process. Transmission (TX) mode permits transmitting TV sound to cord-free headphones for private listening, and receive (RX) mode streams audio from your Bluetooth-enabled device to a wired home theater receiver or soundbar. These Bluetooth adapters have a long wireless range, offering more freedom to position speakers with no signal loss.
