USB-C Host to USB-A Device OTG Cable

This 30 cm cable connects a USB-C host such as a laptop, tablet or phone to a standard USB 3.0-A device. The OTG function enables direct peripheral access without a separate computer. The USB-C plug must serve as the host side and the USB-A plug as the device side. It is not reversible for USB-A host to USB-C device connections.

Sustained Data Transfer Behaviour

The link operates at USB 3.1 host to USB 3.0 device speeds for the duration of a transfer. Signal integrity is maintained over the short 30 cm length during continuous read or write sessions with a 2.5 inch hard drive. No active electronics are present, so performance scales with the capabilities of the connected host controller and storage device.

Upgrade and Replacement Context

The cable replaces a standard USB-A to USB-A lead when the host only offers a USB-C port. It is worth adopting when you need OTG host capability from a USB-C laptop, tablet or phone to a USB-A 2.5 inch drive. Buyers who require a USB-A host to USB-C device connection cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 30cm cable generate when transferring data all day?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no active components, so it produces no measurable heat during continuous USB 3.1 data transfers.

Which host device must I already own for the OTG function to work?

You need a laptop, tablet or phone with a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1 OTG host mode; the USB-C end plugs into that host.

Will this cable let me keep using my USB 3.0-A 2.5" hard drive with a newer USB-C laptop?

Yes, the USB 3.1 Type-C host connector links to the laptop while the USB 3.0-A device end connects the 2.5" drive for full USB 3.0 speeds.
