Hetai Tech USB 3.1 Type-C OTG Adapter

This Hetai Tech adapter cable connects a USB 3.1 Type-C male plug to a USB 3.0 Type-A female port with OTG support. The 18cm cord uses oxygen-free copper conductors for reliable data transfer. It suits owners of devices such as Google Pixel C, Nokia N1, Chromebooks or MSI gaming notebooks that need to attach standard USB peripherals. The reversible Type-C connector simplifies insertion.

Upgrading from USB 2.0 OTG cables

The adapter moves from USB 2.0 speeds to the USB 3.1 interface with 128b encoding rated at 10Gbps. The jump is worth it when transferring large files between a Type-C host and USB 3.0 flash drives or external hard disks. Buyers who only need basic keyboard or mouse connectivity will not see a practical benefit over slower OTG leads.

Plug-and-play installation notes

Installation is passive: insert the Type-C male end into the host and plug the USB device into the Type-A female socket. No drivers are required for OTG operation. The 18cm length limits reach, so the adapter works best for direct device-to-port connections rather than extended routing. Ensure the host port supplies adequate power for the attached peripheral.

Questions about this item

What is the cable length and male connector type for fitting into a USB 3.1 Type-C port?

The adapter cable is 18 cm long and has a USB 3.1 Type-C male plug that inserts directly into the host port.

How do you connect a USB 3.0 Type-A device, and what orientation mistake should be avoided?

Plug the USB 3.0 Type-A device into the female end; the Type-C male end is reversible, so it can be inserted either way up without forcing it.

Which conductor material is used, and does it affect long-term reliability?

Oxygen-free copper conductors are used, which resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity over repeated insertions.
