ESPERANZA EB180 micro USB 2.0 A-B OTG cable 10 cm, male-to-female

ESPERANZA EB180 micro USB 2.0 A-B OTG cable 10 cm, male-to-female is a short, purpose-built cable for direct device-to-device connections. It enables On-The-Go (OTG) functionality for compatible smartphones, tablets and cameras, allowing one device to act as a USB host and connect peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards, mice and card readers. The 10 cm length is designed for compact setups and confined spaces where a full-length cable would be impractical.

Advantages

The cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates and reliable signal integrity across a very short connection distance, reducing latency and potential interference. Its male-to-female micro USB A-B connectors provide a simple plug-and-play experience for devices that support OTG without the need for additional adapters. The compact form factor and lightweight design make it convenient for portable use and for integrating peripherals with minimal cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting a smartphone or tablet to a USB flash drive for file transfer
• Attaching a compact keyboard or mouse to a mobile device for input
• Connecting cameras or other devices to external card readers or storage
• Temporary connections in tight or portable setups where short cable length is beneficial

Key specifications

• Connector types: micro USB male to micro USB female (A-B OTG)
• USB standard: USB 2.0 (supports full-speed and high-speed data modes)
• Length: 10 cm
• Functionality: On-The-Go (OTG) host/client switching
• Use case: data transfer and peripheral connection between mobile devices

How to use

Plug the male micro USB end into the mobile device that will act as a host (smartphone, tablet or camera) and connect the peripheral or accessory to the female micro USB end. Ensure the device supports OTG functionality in its settings or specifications; some devices may require enabling OTG or using an app to recognize attached peripherals. Once connected, the host device should detect the peripheral automatically and allow file access or input depending on the accessory type.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable for short-term or semi-permanent connections and avoid bending it sharply near the connectors. Verify device compatibility with OTG prior to use and ensure connected peripherals draw power within the host device’s capabilities to prevent power-related issues.
