USB-C OTG Adapter for Mobile Expansion
This USB 3.1 Type-C male to USB 3.0 A female cable adds OTG functionality to smartphones, laptops and tablets. It lets you connect flash drives, portable SSDs, keyboards and mice directly to a Type-C port. The adapter is aimed at users who need quick external storage access or peripheral support on mobile devices without carrying a hub.
Driver-Free Connection with Reinforced Ends
Installation is plug-and-play with no software or drivers required on any supported platform. Simply insert the Type-C plug into the host device and attach the USB-A peripheral to the female end. Reinforced strain relief on both connectors resists damage from repeated insertion and cable bending. The only common issue is that actual transfer speed will fall below the 10Gbps ceiling if either the host or the peripheral uses an older USB 3.0 or slower interface.
Sustained Transfers Limited by Connected Hardware
The cable’s internal conductors are designed to minimise signal loss during continuous high-volume copies of large videos or raw photo batches. Stable throughput is maintained as long as both ends can sustain USB 3.1 signalling; however, the 10Gbps rate is a theoretical maximum dictated by the connected devices. Charging capability is not guaranteed and depends entirely on the host device’s power delivery implementation.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 10Gbps link is active after plugging in the USB 3.1 Type-C male end?
The host device will show USB 3.1 or SuperSpeed in its connection details and large files will copy at speeds approaching the rated maximum.
What comes in the package and is a separate power adapter required?
Only the USB 3.1 Type-C male to USB 3.0 A female OTG cable is included; no extra power adapter is needed for data transfer.
Should I choose this cable for a USB 3.0 flash drive or a USB 3.1 SSD?
It works with both — the USB 3.0 A female port accepts any standard USB-A device and the 10Gbps capability matches USB 3.1 storage.
