30 cm USB-C to USB-A OTG cable

This 30 cm cable connects a USB-C host such as a laptop, tablet or phone to a standard USB 3.0 Type-A device. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds for fast data transfer. The black cable is designed for OTG use where the USB-C end acts as the host. It is sold new and ready for immediate use.

Replaces shorter or non-OTG USB-C cables

A standard USB-C to USB-A cable without OTG support cannot link a phone or tablet directly to a USB 3.0 2.5" hard drive. This cable adds the OTG function so the USB-C port becomes the host. The upgrade is worth it when you need to access external storage from a mobile device without a separate adapter. The fixed 30 cm length keeps the setup tidy.

Suits users with USB-C laptops, tablets or phones

Ideal for anyone who wants to plug a USB 3.0 Type-A 2.5" drive straight into a USB-C host port. Not for users who need the opposite direction, such as connecting a USB-C drive to a USB-A host, because the cable cannot be reversed. Also not for buyers who require a longer reach than 30 cm or a right-angled connector.

Questions about this item

How long is the cable so I can tell if it reaches my 2.5" drive from the laptop port?

The cable is 30 cm long, so it will reach a nearby 2.5" drive but offers very little slack for longer distances.

Which end must go into the laptop and which into the drive?

The USB-C male plug must connect to the host (laptop, tablet or phone) and the USB 3.0-A male plug to the device; the cable cannot be reversed.

Will the connectors wear out if I plug and unplug the drive daily?

The connectors are standard USB-C and USB 3.0-A types rated for typical daily use; no special maintenance is required beyond keeping the ports clean.
