UGREEN 70889 US378 USB-C to USB-A OTG Adapter Cable, 5 Gbps, Braided

Overview

The UGREEN US378 (70889) lets a USB-C phone, tablet or laptop use ordinary USB-A accessories: flash drives, card readers, keyboards, mice and external drives. It is a USB On-The-Go (OTG) adapter with a USB-C plug at one end and a USB-A socket at the other, on a short braided lead rather than a rigid plug, so it puts less strain on the device port.

Is it right for you?

• Suits copying footage or photos from a USB stick to a phone, or using a wired keyboard or mouse with a tablet.
• Your USB-C device must support host or OTG operation. Having a USB-C port alone does not guarantee it.
• Rated at 5 Gbps, so it is not the choice for 10 Gbps storage.
• It carries USB data and supported charging only, not HDMI or other video.

Key features

• USB-C male to USB-A female.
• Data up to 5 Gbps with supported equipment.
• Charging current up to 2 A where the host and the connected device allow it.
• Nylon braided lead with aluminium connector housings.
• Plug and play, with no separate driver.

What else you need

A USB-C phone, tablet or computer that supports OTG, plus the USB-A accessory you want to connect. Whether a drive is recognised depends on the host operating system and the file system on the storage.

Before you buy

• Check that your device supports OTG or USB host mode before ordering.
• No video output.
