What this adapter does

This USB-C 2-in-1 OTG adapter lets a USB-C phone, tablet or notebook read flash drives, keyboards, mice and hard drives without extra drivers. It is for users whose device supports OTG and has a Type-C port.

The spec that decides fit

The adapter combines a USB-C plug, a Micro-USB plug and a standard USB-A receptacle running at USB 3.1 5Gbps. If your device lacks OTG support or a Type-C port, this cable will not work.

Thermals noise and power

The aluminium shell stays cool during normal file transfers because the adapter draws only bus power and has no active components. It adds no audible noise and negligible load to the host device.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps USB 3.1 rating mean when I plug this adapter into my phone or laptop?

The 5 Gbps figure is the theoretical maximum throughput of the USB 3.1 Gen 1 link; real-world file transfers will be lower and depend on the speed of the connected flash drive, keyboard, mouse or hard drive.

Which USB standard does the Type-C connector use and what does that limit in practice?

The adapter uses USB 3.1 Gen 1 (also called USB 3.0), so the Type-C port is capped at 5 Gbps and cannot reach the 10 Gbps of USB 3.1 Gen 2.

What physical space or mounting does this 8 g adapter need to fit my device?

It is a compact dongle with a short cable and a lanyard or chain, so it only needs a free Type-C or Micro-USB port and a few centimetres of clearance beside it.
