Type-C 3.1 Male to USB 3.0 A Female OTG Cable

USB OTG lets a mobile device become a host — and this cable is the adapter that makes it physical: a Type-C 3.1 male on one end, a USB 3.0 Type A female on the other. A smartphone or tablet with the C plug accepts a flash drive for movies on a flight, a mouse and keyboard for real work, a game controller for play, or a USB hard disk for the archive — peripherals that were PC-only until the plug changed. The cable format is the deliberate choice here: the accessory sits where it is used — controller in hand, drive on the desk — rather than hanging directly off the phone’s port with its weight on the socket.

The original listing carries the one caveat every OTG buyer should know, and it stays here verbatim: as long as the host device can provide enough power output for those peripherals. Flash drives, mice, keyboards and controllers sit well inside a phone’s budget; bus-powered hard disks are the edge case that may need a powered helper.
