Compact OTG Adapter for Mobile and Laptop

The Hetai Tech Micro USB to USB A OTG cable measures 18 cm and adds a standard USB A female port to devices with a Micro USB connector. It supports USB 3.0 for data rates up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The aluminium connector housings improve durability while keeping the adapter light enough for a pocket or bag.

Suits owners of OTG-capable phones tablets

Users who need to attach flash drives keyboards mice game controllers or card readers without installing drivers will find this plug and play adapter convenient. It is not intended for charging scenarios so buyers who want power delivery should look elsewhere. Devices without OTG support cannot use the adapter at all.

USB 3.0 Micro USB to USB A determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the Micro USB male to USB A female interface running at USB 3.0 speeds. Only host devices that explicitly support USB on the go and provide a Micro USB port can communicate through this cable.
