OTG cable like this will work? - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

Would that kind of cable work? The OTG cable I have for my tablet is just a mini USB (not micro!) to USB female, and it works fine. Would that kind of OTG cable work? So I can connect stuff like drives and keyboards.
Thanks!

From the picture it suggest to be a USB 3.0 connector to a USB 2 Connector, since USB 3.0 normally are all blue inside. It schould at least support USB 2 OTG if the USB A connector is missing the additional pins for USB 3 support as the color suggests.
FYI: To my knowledge OTG has the 5 th pin, not found in USB A and B and only are present in mini- and mircro- USB 2.0 connectors connected to ground to identify it as OTG. Thats all the difference to a normal USB mini./micro-cable. When I modified the connector from a mini-USB by connecting the 5th pin to ground and connected it to my Nexus 7 vie a mini- to micro-USB adpapter it didn't work because the adapter connect only the 4 standard pins, also found in USB A and B, through.

That's a USB 3.0 one. It looks like it has 5 pins on the USB part, but yeah.. I really don't know.
So what was the conclusion? That it only works with 5-pin OTG cables? And do you possible know if any of those I linked are 5-pins?

A mini USB 2.0 or 3.0 OTG will work. I have both and they both work fine.

Since it is advertised as USB 2.0 OTG it will most likely only support USB 2.0 transfer speed, despite that it uses what looks like a USB 3.0 micro connector. All USB 3.0 A connector that I own have blue isolation inside the metal frame, independent the color used on the cable or connector, which is either blue or black on my USB 3.0 cable. USB 3.0 A connector have an additional row of connectors removed in the back, that can't be seen unless you look directly in one.
I have been looking for USB 3.0 OTG cable or an USB 3.0 A to micro USB 3.0 to but could not find one advertised yet.

How is Mini USB going to work, when the Note 3 doesn't have that connector?

Okay, that sounds good enough. I'll order one and see how it goes. USB 2.0 isn't that bad to be honest, but 3.0 would be super cool.

Have you tried the USB 3.0 A to µUSB 3,0 cable that came with the note? As I wrote in a different post I had tried to use this cable that came with my note 3 as well as µUSB 2.0 OTG none worked, even though they worked with the note 2 and Nexus 7 only a few days ago. I could not get any of the USB-Sticks to show up in own own folders or in the ES-Explorers.
Could anyone acces external storage so far?

Interesting I could only find µUSB OTG cabel doing a search and as I wrote above all mini to µUSB-Adapters I tried did not provide connection for the 5th pin. What brand are they and where did you get them?

I received an USB 3.0 (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00FYO66GO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and an USB 3.0 PNY Stick, now I have to find the time to test it.

Yes, every USB 3.0 connection consists of seperate USB 2.0 and 3.0 parts.

I could not find how to activate it in the manual.
Some pages show/say you have to activate the USB 3.0 first,
it works only with windows pc and then
it works only for 10' before switching back to USB 2.0 speed.
However I could not find this option in the menu when I connect the Note 3 to my HP Elitebook win 7 USB 3.0 port. Can anyone point out where in the menu this should appear or if additional software is needed?
It does not detect USB 3.0 devices, e.g. like USB 128 GB PNY USB-stick.
This is stupid since it defeats the purpose of providing fast data transfer when you have The only benefit I have from USB 3.0 is that it is less likely that I try to force the USB 3.0 OTG 180° reversed, sind the noth helps.
PS.: My µUSB 3.0 OTG has 4 pins for USB 2.0 and 5 for USB 3.0 in the A female connector and 5 each in the two parts of the µUSB 3.0 male connector
