Compact OTG adapter for phones and tablets

This 15 cm cable adds a USB 3.0 Type-A port to devices that have either a USB-C or a Micro-USB connector. The aluminium shell and nylon braid reinforce the ends for daily transport. Plug-and-play operation lets you attach flash drives, keyboards or mice without extra drivers. It is intended for users who need quick peripheral access on the go.

Suits OTG-capable Android phones and tablets

The adapter only works when the host device supports USB On-The-Go; iPhones, iPads and any phone without OTG will not recognise connected peripherals. It provides a single Type-A socket, so users who need simultaneous charging and data or multiple accessories should consider a powered hub instead. No video output or alternate-mode signalling is offered by this cable.

USB 3.0 Type-A female interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the USB 3.0 Type-A female port, which accepts standard flash drives, keyboards, mice and other Type-A peripherals. Both the USB-C and Micro-USB male plugs conform to the USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 electrical specs respectively, but the usable downstream connection remains USB 3.0 Type-A. Verify OTG support on your device before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the Type-C or Micro-USB male end for my device?

Use the USB 3.1 Type-C male plug on devices with a Type-C port and the Micro-USB male plug on devices with a Micro-USB port; both connect to the same USB 3.0 female socket.

What does the USB 3.0 female port actually deliver when I plug in a flash drive?

The USB 3.0 female port provides up to USB 3.0 data speeds for flash drives, keyboards or mice, provided your phone or tablet supports OTG.

How does the USB 3.1 Type-C and Micro-USB interface limit transfer rates in practice?

The adapter’s USB 3.0 female socket caps the connection at USB 3.0 speeds even though the Type-C plug is USB 3.1, so the slowest link sets the real-world rate.
