USB 2.0 Y cable for port expansion

This USB 2.0 Y cable splits one USB-A port into two USB-A ports, letting you connect a keyboard and mouse or a flash drive and external hard drive at the same time. It is aimed at laptop and desktop users who need more ports without a powered hub. The 27 cm length keeps the setup tidy on a desk or in a bag.

Aluminium shell and braided cable

The aluminium alloy casing improves heat dissipation and protects the internal wiring from daily knocks. Double braided nylon covering resists stretching and bending, so the cable survives frequent plugging and unplugging. These materials replace the flimsy plastic moulding found on basic splitters.

Plug-and-play with power limits

No driver installation is required; the splitter works immediately on Windows, macOS and Linux. High-power devices such as mechanical hard drives or high-resolution webcams may not receive enough current from a single host port. The cable also does not function with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay systems.

Questions about this item

Will the braided nylon cable or aluminum alloy casing need replacement over time?

The braided nylon cable is built to withstand daily stretching and bending, while the aluminum alloy casing provides durability and heat dissipation, so neither component typically requires scheduled replacement.

What limits performance first when the splitter runs continuously — data bandwidth or power delivery?

Power delivery is the first limit; the splitter supports up to 2A total charging current, so connecting high-power devices such as external hard drives may cause power insufficiency before the 480Mbps USB 2.0 bandwidth is saturated.

Does the aluminum alloy casing keep the splitter cool and quiet during all-day use?

The aluminum alloy casing provides efficient heat dissipation, and because the device has no moving parts it operates silently, so it stays cool and quiet even with continuous operation.
