USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host, allowing other USB devices like a USB flash drive, digital camera, mouse, or keyboard to be attached to them. Unlike conventional USB systems, USB OTG systems can drop the hosting role and act as normal USB devices when attached to another host. This can be used to allow a mobile phone to act as host for a flash drive and read its contents, downloading music for instance, but then act as a flash drive when plugged into a host computer and allow the host to read data from the device.

I measure and it is 7.5 inches from one end to the other.... I might add that it did not work as I wanted to... meaning charging while using as an OTG cable...maybe I needed to do something else to get it to work but at any rate.... I ended up just using the smaller normal otg without that female end. I hope that helps.

You need an app that can read the USB drive when plugged into the OTG cable. If you're rooted, you can use Stick Mount. If you haven't rooted, you can purchase the Nexus Media Importer app in the play store which can read/write from the USB device you use with your OTG cable.

Please check the system of your tablet first. The OTG cable coming along with this product can be only compatible with andriod 2.3 and 4.0 system. And also please check whether your tablet supports USB host(external devices).

The USB OTG adapter is a separate item that must be purchased separately. I did buy it, but find myself using the wireless adapter most of the time.

Sorry, don't know. Bought it erroneously hoping for another function. Immediately returned it.

Works great on my nexus 7 2012 and every other android device I have tried that is OTG compatible.

Crystal, I have no idea. I ordered this for use with a tablet I have yet to purchase. And, I know absolutely nothing about the workings of a Kindle Fire of any variety. Sorry. My advice would be to look at the Kindle Fire blog pages. There is a wealth of information at your fingertips, so to speak. It's my understanding that all of the OTG cable devices are used for the same purpose, to connect a USB 2.0 device to another device with a Mini-USB 2.0 device.

Otg stands for on the go. I use it mainly for my digital camera. You can download your pictures straight onto your tablet. And yes you should be able to charge your tablet through your PC. You can charge your other things from your PC, for example your ipod. I don't understand a about the external battery thing. What do you mean about that.

It has micro USB OTG (on-the-go) port. If you need a USB port for transfer you can use this kind of cable, which one side is the micro USB and the other is the regular USB. eForCity Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter Cable

Please check your phone model, it is not support OTG function? If support does not identify, you can return the Amazon. Thank you for your feedback.

Yes! I use it on my Nexus 10 for plugging in USB game pads. The OTG adapter fits perfectly.

Hi Shannon, USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated to USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification first used in late 2001, that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host, allowing other USB devices like a USB flash drive, digital camera, mouse, or keyboard to be attached to them. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org). I believe it is primarily to connect for example an USB flash drive but also used to flash the ROM of the device when put into recovery mode. Google is your friend here.

I'm sorry, I can't answer that question. I've never had a reason to use that function. You'd have to refer to manual.

Satish, as long as your device has OTG (on the go) capabilities it will work. I have used it on three other devices (phones, tablets) and it works just like the original OTG dongles. Hope this helps you.

According to fiio, the x5 does support OTG, but only special drives. Contact them direct for more details.
