USB On the Go-What is it?

GET, LLC is always on the hunt to share news about new and emerging technologies.  We found a neat one-USB OTG.  

USB OTG is short for an "On-the-Go" cable or adapter. A USB OTG cable or adapter can make a USB host out of your phone or tablet's regular USB device port while you are out and about. They are usually Micro USB male on one end to standard USB "A" female on the other. 

USB OTG cables and adapters have the ability to turn your phone or tablet into a USB host, just like the ports on a desktop computer. With a USB OTG adapter you can connect full-sized keyboards or mice to your smart phone or tablet. This can make it easier to type up documents directly to your cell phone or tablet instead of dealing with a digital keyboard. You can also use them to connect flash drives, card readers or an external hard drive, making it simple to drag and drop files as well as backing up all your information. 

This cable also works for directly connecting your digital camera to download images. 

These cables and adapters will allow all these devices to communicate with each other, no matter where you are. 

The Google Play app store offers a USB OTG checker app that allows you to make sure your Android operating system allows the USB OTG function. You can also find OTG adapters for Apple iOS devices on the web.

GET, LLC can bring USB OTG cables and adapters for most Android based smart phones and tablets right to you. For more on the benefits that our partnerships can bring to you and your respective business, including Panduit and Cisco, contact us at 671-483-0789 or at www.get-guam.com.
