USB OTG Y-Cable for Mobile Devices

This Micro USB male to USB female Y-cable adds a USB-A host port to phones and tablets that support OTG. The split design also provides a dedicated power input so connected peripherals receive sufficient current. It enables direct attachment of flash drives, keyboards, mice or game controllers without a computer. The cable is supplied new and ready for immediate use.

Usage Limits and Alternatives

This cable only works with devices that have a Micro USB port and implement USB OTG host mode. It cannot connect to USB-C or Lightning ports without separate adapters. Peripherals that draw more power than the host and external supply can provide will not operate reliably. Buyers needing native USB-C or Lightning connectivity should consider a different cable.

Questions about this item

Does the Y-cable let me power my phone while a USB drive is attached?

The Y-split provides a Micro-USB male plug for the host device, a USB-A female port for a peripheral, and a second Micro-USB female port that accepts a charger so the phone can charge at the same time.

What maximum current can the USB-A port deliver when the cable is connected to a standard phone charger?

The cable itself is passive copper; the USB-A port will supply whatever current the charger and the phone negotiate, typically up to 2 A with a 5 V supply.
