It works seamlessly with Raspberry Pi models that have a micro USB data port, such as the Pi Zero, Pi Zero W, and Pi 3A+. It also works with many Android smartphones and tablets that support OTG functionality. Ensure your device’s firmware or OS supports OTG host mode; most Linux distributions for Raspberry Pi enable this by default.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimply plug the micro USB end into the OTG-capable port on your Raspberry Pi (often labeled \"USB\" or \"PWR IN\" on Pi Zero). The USB A female port allows direct connection of peripherals. For power-hungry devices, consider a powered USB hub, as the Pi’s port can typically supply up to 500mA. No additional drivers are needed; the Pi will recognize most standard USB devices automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.

For Pi 4, you would need a USB-C OTG adapter instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this to power the Raspberry Pi while using USB devices?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is for data only. On Pi Zero, the micro USB port is for both power and data, but when using OTG, it's recommended to power the Pi via the GPIO header or use a hub that passes power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes it work with USB 3.0 devices?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is backwards compatible with USB 3.0 devices but will operate at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
