StarTech.com 5in Micro USB to USB Otg Host Adapter M/F
Cons:does not work with my android tablet (lenovo)

Pros:Cheap (specially when price matched) Works with an HP Stream Tablet 7 without any issues. Allows further connection with a usb hub, multi-device card reader and other usb peripherals
Comment:
White version is cheaper but is exactly the same. I was able to get it price-matched for a very good price. Both ends of the connector came in protected with a strong plastic adhesive film thereby assuring that neither end get scratched. It came packaged in the standard startech zip bagThe entire adapter measures a little longer than 5" (5.125)end-to-end while the actual flexible cable part is about 3" long. It allowed connection with a generic 4 port portable usb hub with all ports usable. Mutliple usb sticks or flash drives appear as separate drives under windows and transfer of data between all the drives or the tablet is possible. Depending on your device, NCIX has other version of this otg cable, SKU 100195 for the white cable; SKU 95738 a straight dongle-like adapter and SKU 93918 where the micro usb is right angled instead of straight (from another manufacturer). Both the right angled and the dongle-type OTG would still work with the HP stream but they would be blocking the headphone / audio out port. Did not work for an older lenovo android tablet (but I think I read somewhere that lenovo disabled external keyboards and otg for my particular modelFor me this works best with a logitech K360 keyboard and a logitech M705 mouse. Both support have "unifying" support so I am able to use both devices using a single usb mini receiver.

Cons:Not USB 3.0Cable is not very long

Pros:Allows the connection of USB devices to a Samsung TabletWorked with my USB hub so I was able to plug in multiple devices at the same time.
Comment:
Works great on my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Tablet.Was able to plug in a USB Mouse, Keyboard, Headset, Memory Stick and USB Ethernet adapter and they all worked.It detected but wouldn't work on a USB Hard Drive, but that was because of the NTFS file format and not a fault of this cable.Unsure of it's durability over time, but so far it does everything I wanted it for.
