USB-C to USB-A OTG adapter

This 18 cm adapter adds a standard USB-A female port to USB-C devices that support OTG. It enables direct connection of flash drives, keyboards, mice, game controllers and card readers to compatible Android phones, tablets or laptops. No drivers are required for plug-and-play operation. The aluminium connector shells provide durability for frequent insertion cycles.

USB 3.0 transfer headroom

The USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 5 Gbps bandwidth, ten times the throughput of USB 2.0, so large photo libraries or video files move in seconds. Mechanical stress relief on the short cable reduces port strain during mobile use. The adapter is specified for data sync only and is not recommended for charging attached peripherals or the host device.

USB-C OTG compatibility limit

Functionality depends entirely on the host device implementing USB On-The-Go; phones or tablets without OTG support will not recognise connected peripherals. The female USB-A port accepts USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices, but total bus power is limited by the host’s output capability. OTG support must be verified before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 18 cm USB 3.0 Type-C male connector work with my older USB 2.0 flash drives and keyboard?

Yes, the adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 peripherals such as flash drives and keyboards, though they will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering the full 5 Gbps link after plugging it in?

Transfer a large file to a USB 3.0 flash drive and verify the sustained throughput approaches 5 Gbps, indicating the USB 3.0 connection is active.

Does the 18 cm cable include any extra cables or power adapters, or is it just the single OTG adapter?

Only the USB 3.0 Type-C male to USB-A female OTG adapter cable is included; no additional cables or power adapters are supplied.
