This male-to-female cable extends the reach of the Micro-USB port on your tablet or phone by 20 inches and is compatible with both OTG (USB On-The-Go) and MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) adapters. Plus, the cable offers an easy way for you to connect your tablet to an Android docking station which means you can listen to music and charge your tablet using your phone dock. The extra length of the cable enables you to position USB 2.0 peripheral devices as needed. Simply connect the micro usb extension cable to your phone or tablet and plug your OTG or MHL adapter into the cable. With an additional 20 inches, you have extra room for placing your USB OTG-capable devices in a way that best suits your needs. You can place your thumb drive out of the way, or position devices such as your keyboard or mouse more comfortably. When connecting an MHL adapter or a Micro-USB charge-and-sync cable it can provide the extra length you need for connecting to an HDMI or Micro-USB cable that's just out of reach.
