OTG cable and headphones can't coexist.

[mothershipload]

So I got the OTG cable (what does OTG stand for anyways?) to use with my 64 GB flash drive. The connector is at a right angle to the port on the Nexus 10. The headphone port is below that. So when I connect the OTG cable, it physically blocks access to the headphone port. I got the OTG cable based on recommendation of other Nexus 10 users on this board. I'm gonna look for another micro-USB to USB cable that's straight (no right angle bend). Is there anything special about the OTG cable, or would any other "straight" cable work?
Thanks,

There is a difference between a straight USB cable and an OTG cable

Just get the Samsung OTG cable.

Here's a cable on Amazon just for the nexus 10 (It's angled the other way and doesn't block the audio port). Amazon.com: T & S Electronics Micro USB OTG Cable for Nexus 10 (doesn't block audio port!) - LIFETIME WARRANTY!: Cell Phones & Accessories. Works great if you don't like the straight cables if you'd like to be able to use a stand.

Another great option is bluetooth
