USB C OTG Adapter for Data Transfer

The CableCreation CC0253 is a USB 3.1 Type-C male to USB-A female adapter that lets you connect standard USB peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards or card readers to USB-C devices with OTG support. It is intended for users who need quick data access from legacy USB-A accessories on newer USB-C laptops, tablets or phones.

Suits OTG-Capable Hosts; Not for Charging Needs

This adapter works with hosts that explicitly support USB On-The-Go, including listed MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, Surface, XPS, Pixel and Galaxy models running compatible OS versions. Buyers whose devices lack OTG functionality or who require power delivery for charging should look at a different solution, as charging is not recommended.

Plug-and-Play Install; Verify Port Orientation First

The short .5 ft cable requires no drivers — simply insert the USB-C plug into the host and attach the USB-A peripheral. The most common issue is attempting to use the adapter on a USB-C port that does not support OTG or expecting it to supply charging current, which it is not designed to provide.

Questions about this item

What USB-A peripherals can I plug into the adapter's female port?

The adapter accepts standard USB-A devices such as flash drives, card readers, keyboards, mice, cameras and USB hubs for data transfer with a USB-C host.

Will the adapter work with a USB 2.0 flash drive on a 2018 MacBook Air?

Yes, the USB 3.1 adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 peripherals and the 2018 MacBook Air is listed as a supported host.

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering 5 Gbps transfer speeds after setup?

Transfer a large file between the connected drive and the host, then check the observed throughput in the operating system's file-copy dialog or a benchmark tool to see speeds approaching 5 Gbps.
