Hello,
I'm looking for an OTG to USB Type C adapter that allows charging at the same time. Does such a device exist? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Not sure. Have you tried looking at powered USB type c hubs to see if this will also net the same result? I might consider this if and when I get a note8. Dex station might also do this. Haven't really checked it out but assume it will.

USB C pasthrough powered docking typically has no Adaptive Charging.

A product that may fit your need for pass through charging. I'm using the j5create model JCA374. Ports include HDMI, Ethernet, 2x USB 3 OTG, Type C pass through power in (standard charging rate), and a USB C cable to connect to the hosting device.
Besides no support for Adaptive Charging it does get warm. I am considering attaching a heat sync to its metal case.
Enjoy your mobile life.

The DEX station has two caveats I am aware of.
It does have a USB C input charging port. This port does not support adaptive charging. So I am concerned that a heavily utilized phone could slowly discharge despite the charger. This was the one flaw I could not surmount with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet.
The DEX station male USB C docking port is to short to support any case that provides any coverage around the phones port.
Enjoy your mobile life.

Does the j5create model JCA374 start Dex on the S8? are USB transfers truly 3.0 speeds and gigabit truly over 100Mbps using this adapter? I'm looking at this as an alternative to the Dex station because I use an Otterbox Defender case on my S8 and also because of the lower price. Thanks.
