USB OTG cables

I just saw these two USB OTG cables on ebay, thought I'd share it and see if anyone have tried it.
On EBay Search the following
PAIR left + right 90D Angled Micro USB B male to USB female Host OTG adapter
&
Micro USB OTG Host Cable with USB to Charge Galaxy S3 Siii i9300 S2 Note 2 II
Sorry I want to post an image for each of the items but still don't have the right for that yet. If anyone want to reply with the image it would be much appropriated.

it's not the same, these are more like adapter, the OTG cables on amazon are too long in my opinion

USB C to USB A cable

Don't forget about these things, unless you happen to have a USB C connector on your computer already. The 5X does not come with this cable; it only comes with a USB C to USB C cable. The 6P does, however.

Various prices on Amazon

Amazon is the better choice. I am definitely buying the Apple adapter

I'm going to need to buy quite a few of these.

I found this good deal http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...1Y50UY0J6Y59M&psc=1&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl

Excellent. Thanks :good:

Hi 0.0, I was looking at that same 4 pack earlier as well. Does anyone know if USB-C to USB-A cables (these specifically, or in general I guess) will allow for data transfer when connected to a PC or can they only be used for charging?
Edit: Nevermind, it says in the product description. Thanks, ordered a set.

yes.
in other news, i ordered these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W98IQ5M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
mainly because i have a ton of regular cables, and also because soon the other ends are going to be type C. At that time, i will replace all my cables, but until then, these will do.

Not sure why, but it states in the description of those adapters that they are for Data Sync only, doesn't say anything about them working for charging. I hope that isn't the case, but just a heads up.

thats all i need to root it haha
probably not rated for the current for quick charging

how about a type C male to type C female? does that exist??

For what it's worth, OnePlus finally have their cables up for sale after forever promising them lol. Android Police gave it stellar reviews stating it was of the better cables available when they did their review on them. They only range from $5 to $7 but you do have to pay shipping, still probably much better quality than the generic ones selling on Amazon.
I did order 3 of them, hopefully they are good. Wish they had some that were 6 ft. though.

Question for the community.
I rely on OTG a lot. I have a couple of Micro USB Male to USB A Female adaptors. Is there any reason that I couldn't plug a Type C Male to USB 2.0 Micro B Female adapter (like jadeddjay's item above) into the 5X, plug an existing Micro USB Male to USB A Female OTG cable into that, and then plug my standard cable into that? So:
5X <-- Type C Male to USB 2.0 Micro B Female adapter <-- Micro USB Male to USB A Female OTG <-- standard cable .
I guess it would it be safer to just get a new OTG cable with a Type C Male and USB A Female, like this one. But I'd rather get an adapter that can serve multiple functions as opposed to a new OTG cable that I will only use with one device.

Probably a dumb question, but...
I'm a little out of the tech game, and my knowledge isn't where it should be. That will probably make this a dumb question...
I am going to get a 5x, but have loads and loads of micro-usb peripherals; does anyone know if a micro-usb to type-c convertor exists? I've looked, but it's a pain to search for, as my search results always flip what i want around to type-c to micro-usb / similar.
Long story short; i'd rather not buy loads of new type-c cables, and instead would like a converter that I can plug into my existing kit, for me to then use with the type-c port on the 5x.
Does such a thing exist?
Cheers!

I'm been looking at cables since the phone was announced and I realize I've been spoiled by the cheap cables on monoprice. Hopefully they come down in price by the end of the year.
Is there a reason most A to c type are only one meter? .Best I've been able to find is 2 meter.
Would a USB extension cable work with a USB a to c?
I have a lot of charging equipment that is type a, trying to keep using it.

Why are you trying to charge your phone from more than 6 feet away?

Well not everyone has an outlet within 3 feet of where they are sitting. For example, when I'm sitting in my living room, my closest outlet is behind my recliner, and I like to be able to use my phone while it charges, so a 6 ft cable is very handy.

I said "more"
6ft for sure is handy cause you don't want to sit against the wall.
Sounded in your original post though that you were trying to find some even longer than 6ft

Wait, why aren't people buying a micro-usb female to usb c male adapter to use existing micro usb cables and chargers?

Adapters for cables

So what are you guys doing about the move to type c? I haven't found any adapters to convert the microusb end into type c... Do they not exist? I have about 10 cables, battery backups, all based on the old type

Is there a usb type a male to usb type c female adapter?

Is there a usb type a male to usb type c female adapter? Please read that statement carefully basically I want a adapter to convert a computer usb type a 3.1 female port to a type c port that I could plug a standard type c cable of the nexus 5x into.
I am not interested in cable because usb type c cable is the future, if I buy usb cable might as well buy the true type c cable

Havent seen any - most people would prefer to just have the right cable (male usb-c to male usb-a) and not add an adapter even if using the cable that comes with the 5x.

He wants to use the type C cable that comes with the phone.... and then an adpater to change it onto a male USB A. Not sure why he is limiting himself to that. I assume adapting to USB A male still makes the USB C cable default to the same slower charge speeds as a regular micro USB cable.

I want to transition to type C cable. So an adapter that turns a good old computer type a port into a type c port would be ideal.

I would post a link to the product you're looking for but this board won't let me. But the product you need is on Amazon and its ASIN is "B015W9ZZRQ". Go to Amazon and add "/gp/product/B015W9ZZRQ" to the end of the URL

Just a heads up on this; looks to be as the A port is device and C port is host. Backwards from what I'm guessing the OP wants. I've ran into this with a few cables and adapters and ended up only being able to charge my 5X/6P.

Note that any adapter that meets the OP's criteria will necessarily violate the USB specifications, as they explicitly require that any Type-C adapters be male, not female:

If you can find the adapter you are looking for or any other adapter on Amazon from a seller called HQS Corp (the seller of the adapter listed by @EeZeEpEe) DON'T buy it. That seller SUCKS.

AAwireless cable replacement

Good morning. Thank you for this site.
Wanting to replace original aawireless cable.
Is the cable USB 3.0 Type C into a USB Type A 2.0?
Thanks in advance. Mike.

I've had a tough time trying to replace my original cable, which works the best for me, it's just longer than I need in my car.
The cable type for you depends on your car, as it's USB C on the AAW end, and USB A for MOST cars on the other end. Some cars might be USB C on the other end as they are more recent.
The big issue is if it's a high quality data cable, not just a charging cable.
I'm on the lookout for a 30cm or 1 foot cable, USB C - USB A.

There is no such thing. It's either 3.1 or 2.0, the ends can't be different. Either should work.
Just buy a quality cable. Anker and Monoprice are well respected.
