Expand Android connectivity

This OTG adapter lets an Android device with on-the-go support connect USB-A peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards, game controllers, wireless mice and card readers. It also adds a standard USB-A female port to a USB-C laptop for accessories like keyboards, mice, hard drives, cameras or printers. The connection is plug-and-play with no driver installation required.

Upgrade from USB 2.0 OTG cables

The adapter uses the USB 3.0 standard for a maximum sync speed of 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The jump is worth it when moving large files between a phone or laptop and external storage where transfer time matters. Aluminium connector casings provide greater durability than typical plastic OTG cables.

Sustained transfer behaviour

The 18 cm (7.1 inch) cable keeps the setup compact and portable for pocket carry. The supplier notes this adapter is designed for data transfer and does not recommend using it for charging. Buyers should verify their mobile phone or tablet supports OTG function before purchase.
