USB-C to USB-A OTG adapter

This USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C male to USB 3.0 Type-A female cable connects USB-A peripherals to USB-C hosts with OTG support. It enables direct attachment of flash drives, external SSDs, card readers, mice and keyboards to laptops, tablets and smartphones equipped with functional data ports. No driver installation is required for immediate operation.

Sustained transfer stability

Optimized internal wiring minimizes interference to maintain consistent connection during continuous file reading and writing. Real-world transfer speed is limited by the host device and connected peripheral hardware rather than the cable itself. The design supports low-current power supply alongside data transmission for bus-powered accessories.

Plug-and-play installation

Reinforced strain relief on both ends protects against fracture caused by repeated plugging and bending during daily use. Charging-only Type-C ports cannot support data or OTG functions, so port capability must be verified before purchase. High-power USB devices should be avoided to prevent exceeding the cable's current rating.

Questions about this item

Does the cable get warm or draw much power when I keep a portable SSD plugged in all day?

The cable is passive and only carries low-current power for the connected device; it does not generate noticeable heat during continuous data transfers.

What must my laptop or phone already have for this OTG cable to recognise a flash drive?

The host needs a USB-C port that supports data and USB On-The-Go; charging-only Type-C ports will not work.

Will my older USB 3.0 flash drive still hit its top speed when I plug it through this USB 3.1 Gen2 cable?

Yes, the cable supports up to 10Gbps, so a USB 3.0 drive will run at its native 5Gbps limit without being held back.
