USB-C to USB 3.0 OTG Adapter

This Hetai Tech adapter connects USB-A peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards and mice to USB-C enabled devices. It supports USB 3.0 and OTG functionality for host-mode access to removable media on smartphones and tablets. The reversible Type-C connector plugs in on the first try. Data transfers reach up to 5 Gbps while the adapter delivers up to 3 Amps for charging.

For adding legacy USB-A accessories to modern

Buyers who need to connect existing USB-A drives or input devices to a USB-C laptop, phone or tablet will find this adapter fits the purpose. It is not suited for users who require a Micro-USB connector, because the specification lists Micro USB to USB-A rather than USB-C to USB-A. Anyone needing video output or alternate-mode protocols should look at a different product.

USB 3.0 OTG with 5 Gbps transfer and 3 Amp charging

The decisive specification is the combination of USB 3.0 OTG support, a 5 Gbps maximum data rate and 3 Amp power delivery. This determines whether the adapter can act as a host for removable storage and charge the connected device at the same time. If your workflow demands faster throughput or higher power, this model will not meet those requirements.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps transfer speed mean when I plug a USB 3.0 flash drive into my phone?

It lets the adapter move data at up to 5 Gbps between the drive and the phone, so large files copy in seconds rather than minutes.

How does the USB 3.0 interface limit what I can connect?

The adapter uses a USB 3.0 Type-A port, so it accepts any standard USB-A peripheral but caps the link at 5 Gbps and 3 A power delivery.

What physical space does the adapter need to sit next to other ports on a MacBook Pro?

The reinforced Type-C plug is symmetrical and slim, so it fits beside neighbouring ports without blocking them.
