The difference between OTG data cable and ordinary USB data cable

Nowadays, the OTG data cable is widely used in the market, and its function is also very powerful. It is basically the same as the appearance of our common ordinary data cable, and the USB data cable has become a must-have product in our daily life. So what is the difference between an OTG data cable and a normal USB data cable.

The USB data cable is mainly used to connect mobile phones and computers, and to charge. We can access photos and music in the mobile phone through the computer and use the mobile phone as a USB flash drive. The OTG data cable expands the capabilities of the phone, making it easier to connect to the Internet.

It does not need to go through a computer. In the mobile phone, it can also be connected with USB devices such as U disk, mouse, keyboard, etc., to find data, connect the mouse to play games, connect the keyboard to quickly type, connect the camera to browse the picture directly.

When we connect the computer with a data cable, it is not difficult to find that the USB data cable will charge the digital products such as mobile phones, and the computer will supply power, while the OTG data cable will be charged by the mobile phone to external devices.

On the hardware, the difference between the OTG cable and the USB cable is that there is a PIN on one end of the OTG line and a GND ground wire is connected to facilitate the machine to distinguish between the host and the Device peripheral, because the appearance cannot distinguish the OTG line from the USB cable.
