An OTG (On-The-Go) cable is a versatile accessory that allows devices like smartphones or tablets to connect directly to other devices, such as USB flash drives, keyboards, mice, and even some printers or game controllers, without needing a computer as an intermediary.

Features of an OTG Cable:

1. Connector Types: Typically, an OTG cable has a USB-A female connector (for attaching USB devices) on one end and a micro-USB or USB-C male connector on the other (for connecting to the phone or tablet).
2. Data and Power Transfer: It supports both data transfer and power delivery, making it possible to charge smaller devices or transfer files.
3. Plug-and-play: OTG cables are designed for ease of use, with no need for extra drivers or software in most cases.

Common Uses:

• Connecting USB devices to smartphones: For example, using a USB drive or keyboard with your mobile device.
• Connecting a game controller: For gaming on the go using an OTG adapter.
• Using a mouse or keyboard: When working on a smartphone or tablet, you can connect these peripherals for easier navigation.
