I do not think it works that way. Only 1 side should be setup with OTG function. The other should be setup as a normal USB style connection. Yes, they can both be MicroUSB as that is how I've done it when I was using an external DAC.

^.^ You should try then!
if ok then you don't have to find the port with OTG to plug ^.^

I actually can't find my external dac atm... though, I never had an issue identifying, as I put a piece of blue shrink tubing around the OTG end for strain relief and identification.

I've just done this ^.^

I did eventually switch to a right angle for OTG end, straight for normal MicroUSB end. That is another good way to tell the ends apart. Nice cable by the way.

as I found on the net, the OTG cable micro-micro of Fiio and Hugo have both OTG port ^.^ Then I don't have to worry about damage my dac ^.^
anw tks!

Excellent find! Now I'll know for the next time I build a cable (and I can find my DAC. lol).

Think of making myself a small Micro to Micro otg cable to work with FiiO E18 to my phone as the fiio cable looks pretty flimsy on the connectors and it seems the easiest thing still these days is to just build yourself something more durable. I have made other kinds of data cables for stuff around the house but they are normally basic patchwork things of generic cables and don't need to be that durable really.
 
Think I might go the putty route for the flexible joints but I was just wondering what sort of cable everyone is using for the nicer designs? Is there some specific specifications/wire type I should be looking out for? (ebay/website links of examples would be great)
 
I'm sure I can just cut up some cheap generic longer otg and use that instead but it would be nice to have some prettier cable to use instead if I can.
 
 
 
edit: after researching a bit myself, it just seems like I can just get any computer compatible 4 core cabling, but I'm not 100% sure if there are some specifications to look out for. It looks like spare iem cables might work too? I have a few collecting dust where the connections are broken but the cable is fine. If it works, I could then just cut off a little bit and easily have some decent usb cabling.
 
I found out you can just use any old usb data cable and just make sure to short pins 4 and 5, and so I am going to just chop up some old cables for my first attempts and worry about aesthetics some other time (I have a nice looking braided anker cable somewhere whose connectors are broken that should work nicely though)

Found this thread as I was making a right-angled OTG cable for myself. Problem is I opened up three micro-usb cables to extract the plugs but they all are 4 pin only. There is a pin at the back instead. So I am little confused which is what...can anyone here guide me please.

Does anyone have a link to a DIY USB type C to USB Micro OTG cable?

Usb type C is a little more complicated. You can try to find those already made for typeC on the go plug and go with it

Hi sir. I been looking also for a direct micro otg type c on how to make them. But failed. Found some that i need a resistor. Its really complicated. I used it on my zishan z2. I have already built a direct micro otg to micro male with switch mod on it

Hi Sir Im also looking for a thread on how to make an otg type c to micro male directly. I did made a mod cable micro otg to micro. but now I need a micro otg type c.
