  • OTG function lets USB-C host drive USB-A peripherals

  • USB 3.1 Gen 1 speed moves large files quickly
  • Connects laptops, tablets, phones to 2.5" hard drives
  • Fixed host-device direction prevents wrong-way plugging

USB-C OTG host cable for phones and laptops

This 30 cm cable lets a USB-C phone, tablet or laptop act as the host for a standard USB 3.0 Type-A device. The OTG function is directional; the USB-C plug must connect to the host and the USB-A plug to the peripheral. It enables direct access to 2.5 inch hard drives without a separate power adapter.

Short moulded cable with fixed host-device

The 30 cm length keeps the link tidy on a desk or in a bag while the moulded strain relief protects the connectors during frequent insertion. Because the cable cannot be reversed, the USB-A port is always the downstream device port, preventing accidental misconnection when swapping drives.

Replaces longer USB-A to USB-C cables that lack

Standard cables often require the computer to be the host, blocking phone-to-drive transfers. This cable adds OTG host capability in a compact form factor, making the jump worthwhile when you need to read or write a 2.5 inch drive directly from a mobile device.

Questions about this item

What does the USB 3.1 Type-C interface cap in practice?

The cable runs at USB 3.0 speeds, so transfers top out at the USB 3.0 rate even though the connector is USB 3.1 Type-C.

What physical clearance does the 30 cm cable need?

It needs about 30 cm of free space between the host's Type-C port and the USB-A device.

Which end plugs into the host and which into the device?

The USB-C male end goes into the host (laptop, tablet or phone) and the USB-A male end goes into the device such as a 2.5" hard drive.
