Product Overview
A USB OTG (On-The-Go) cable that can be used for connecting devices
like Memory Sticks, External Hard Drives, Mouse, Keyboards e.t.c to your compatible Mobile Phone & Tablet.
USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated USB OTG, is a specification that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host allowing a USB Flash Drive, mouse, or keyboard to be attached.USB On-The-Go (OTG) allows two USB devices to talk to each other without requiring the services of a personal computer (PC).
Although OTG appears to add peer-to-peer connections to the USB world, it does not. Instead, USB OTG retains the standard USB host/peripheral model, in which a single host talks to USB peripherals.
OTG does introduce, however, the dual-role device, or simply stated, a device capable of functioning as either host or peripheral. Part of the magic of OTG is that a host and peripheral can exchange roles if necessary. Before OTG, the concept of an embedded host was already established in the USB world. Instead of duplicating the full UHCI/OHCI USB controllers and drivers built into PCs, most embedded host chips provide limited hosting capabilities. This makes them better suited to the embedded environment than a PC with its huge resources and infinite capacity for drivers and application software. So this cable can completely instead of a high-priced USB Adaptor to accomplish the same work.
