So I recently bought a magnetic cable adopter, It has two parts a android micro usb head and the body where it can connect to the usb head with the use of magnet and the other side is a micro usb port the body also has a led indicator.

Given that my phone is usb otg capable, when I connect my usb to the micro usb port at the body of adopter my phone can't read it.

Is this a hardware problem where the magnetic adopter is not capable of reading other devices eg. Usb, mouse, keyboard etc. and only supports charging?

Or can I still use the usb otg features by using a 'usb otg cable Y'?

Or is there other way?

Sadly I can't try usb otg Y since I haven't bought any and want to make sure it will work before I buy.

Feel free to ask more information if it's not sufficient enough. Thanks!

Edit: here's a link for an image of the magnetic adopter:

The magnetic adopter only connects the cord but doesn't use magnet itself as method of transfer like wireless chargers well, based from my observation

I'd expect it that the magnetic connection can only transmit energy and data, but does not allow the onboard software to interact with OTG devices.
