Overview
- The Simplecom CA131 bridges the gap between older USB-A peripherals and modern USB-C devices. This adapter cable is ideal for users who need to connect standard USB accessories—such as flash drives, card readers, keyboards, and mice—to laptops, smartphones, and tablets without investing in entirely new equipment.
With USB On-The-Go (OTG) support, compatible smartphones and tablets can function as host devices, enabling file reading and transfer directly from USB peripherals. The 15cm braided cable offers flexibility and durability, while the aluminium alloy shell provides additional protection against daily wear.
Supporting SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data rates up to 5Gbps, the CA131 ensures efficient data transfer without compromising speed. The compact design prevents the adapter from blocking neighbouring ports, making it practical for portable devices and tight workspaces.
