Compact OTG cable for mobile hosts

The CoolGear CG-OTG-7H is a five inch USB On The Go cable that lets a compatible tablet or phone act as a USB host. It is aimed at users who want to attach keyboards, mice, card readers or USB serial adapters directly to their mobile device without a separate hub. The short length keeps the connection tidy on a desk or in a bag.

Plugs into the device USB port

The cable plugs into the host device’s USB port and presents a standard USB A socket for peripherals. It requires a device that supports USB OTG host mode; devices without that capability will not recognise connected accessories. No external power supply or driver installation is needed for basic HID or mass storage peripherals.

Enables direct peripheral use

Bundled only with the cable itself, the accessory adds no software but immediately expands the mobile device’s input and storage options. Users can type on a full size keyboard, navigate with a mouse, offload photos from a card reader or talk to serial equipment in the field. The five inch tail avoids cable clutter while keeping the peripheral close.

Questions about this item

How long is the cable before it limits placement of connected peripherals?

The cable is 5 inches long, so peripherals must sit very close to the host device.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when used continuously?

It is a passive cable with no active electronics, so it produces no measurable heat and adds no power draw beyond the attached peripheral.

What port must the host device already provide for this cable to function?

The host needs a USB On-The-Go capable micro-USB or USB-C port that can act as a USB host.
