Hello there!
Got a little cable to connect with the nexus7 and a pen drive, but have tried few times but never manage to get it going. Does anyone knows anything about it?thanks

Do a site search for "usb for nexus 7". This will bring up several threads that cover doing this Rooted and Un-rooted.

If you're not rooted you'll need the Nexus Media Importer app to access files (which only allows read-only access), if you are rooted you can use Stickmount (which allows you full read-write access). You can test the cable actually works using a keyboard or mouse as they should just work without you needing to do anything.
