Hi everyone.

I love electronic / informatic and I bought many otg cables but they all break and a normal charging cable is more resistant.

You can easily make otg out of a micro USB cable and female port.There are various tutorials on YouTube for that.

So this setup(Phone <==> Normal micro usb cable <==> Female / Female <==> Usb key) doesn't work directly?

Pics would be helpful. I assume you want to utilise USB OTG which requires a USB OTG cable, and an external VDD of +5V as the phone does not supply power via USB.
Hi,
I'm trying to use the iRig UA Accessory with my LG G5, I'm connecting by an OTG Micro USB Type B to Micro USB Type B cable with a Type C adapter.
Sadly, the iRig doesn't turn on and is not recognized.
When using the same iRig on PC or Nexus 5, everything is fine. Does anybody know what's wrong here?
May it be caused by the adapter?

The B Micro to C adapters are for charging only.. you would need a Type C OTG adapter and a standard B micro to Type A cable (like used to a normal computer) to hook it up.
Edit: Tested a normal USB sound device (Cmedia based) usb audio works.

Great! I tried this solution and it works now. Didn't think that it can make such a huge difference. Thanks a lot!

Glad to help . Perhaps some day someone will make a Type C OTG direct to B Micro cable that will make your device setup more streamlined.
I could not find any solution for an adapter that charges and allows usb c headphones simultaneously.
Anyone an idea?

Just try it and see if it works. Some devices could work while others would need a dedicated OTG cable
Thx fydtyh. I will update later

It depends on whether the phone is used as client or as host. If the phone is to be used as a client, normal USB cable is used. If the phone is to be used as host, a OTG cable is used. It is a matter of pinout order.

You can convert the USB C cable into a OTG cable by changing the pinout order as indicated in the following discussion. You will need an adapter to convert one USB C end into USB A.
How different is a normal usb cable from OTG usb cable?
Answer (1 of 8): Hey, So USB OTG cable is used to connect to a device (say your phone, tablet) when you want to use that device (say your phone tablet) as a host. So imagine you want to use a mouse with your android tablet, then you can use the OTG cable as shown in the figure below Major dif...

I know the diagrams show microUSB instead of USB C but the pinout order should still be the same for microUSB and USB C.
