RS PRO USB 2.0 Micro B to Type A USB Cable, Male to Female
From RS PRO a reliable, high-quality USB cable terminated either end with a male micro USB connector, a type B and a type A. Also known as an OTG (On The Go) cable, this cable assembly enables you to connect your mobile phone or tablet to another USB device such as a digital camera. This cable supports USB 2.0 protocol standard that allows for a high speed data transfer up to 480 Mbps
What is OTG?
Usually, you would connect your peripheral device to a PC which would act as a host device. OTG is a standardized specification that allows a device such as a mobile phone or tablet to act as a host instead of a PC. The host device can then have other USB devices attached to it such as a digital camera or flash drive. The micro A plug connects to the host device and the micro-B plug connects to the peripheral device
What is a Micro USB Connector?
A Micro connector is a durable, miniaturised USB connector about half the thickness of a Mini USB. This connector was designed for connecting small, slimline mobile devices such as smartphones and digital cameras to a host PC such as a desktop, laptop or tablet. A fifth pin incorporated into this connector enables it to support On-The-Go technology when used on an OTG cable.

2.0 B male - 2.0 and 3.0 B and AB female
3.0 B male - 3.0 B and AB female
2.0 A male - 2.0 or 3.0 AB female

How does a USB Cable Work?
A USB cable allows digital data to be transferred from a peripheral device to a host PC or, in this case, another USB device. The Micro A USB connector is inserted into a Micro-AB USB port or receptacle on your mobile host device. The Type B connector is inserted into the peripheral mobile device. Once connected the data is transferred automatically via the cable without the need for any additional interfaces or software. This is referred to as Plug and Play.
