Unfortunately, this product actually does not allow the OP's device to simultaneously charge and act as the USB host device. The DECEC product has a switch for toggling between its two functions:

1. OTG Host Mode:​

Allows the OP's device to connect to USB peripheral (slave) devices and power them. This mode will also charge peripheral devices.​

2. Data Cable (Charge) Mode:​

Allows the OP's device to charge via an external power supply or via another USB host device (i.e., laptop).​

Read the Q&A for this device on Amazon (go to Amazon and search for "Micro USB Male To USB Female Host OTG Cable + USB Power Cable Y Splitter"). The Q&A indicates that users have been able to use it for simultaneously charging a Nexus 7 and having the Nexus 7 act as a USB host device. One user mentioned that a custom kernel is needed to unlock this capability of the Nexus 7. They also recommended that a powered USB hub be used to ensure that the USB peripheral devices don't draw more power than the Nexus 7 can supply.

This adapter LIMITS THE CURRENT TO 1000mA as opposed to 1800mA using the 2.1A Samsung charger for TAB S 10.5. Presumably this would be the same for the Note 5 which comes with the higher capacity charger as well..
