Manw 60cm Mini USB 2.0 Y Splitter Cable with Auxiliary Power

SKU CH-W471-AGC1J

Y-shaped Mini USB 2.0 cable delivers 480 Mbps data plus auxiliary power for external hard drives over a 60 cm length

  • Y-splitter adds auxiliary power for stable hard-drive operation
  • USB 2.0 interface delivers 480Mbps transfer speed for daily backups
  • 60cm length keeps desktop cabling tidy and flexible
  • Gold-plated connectors with shielding prevent signal drop-out
  • PVC jacket and copper cores withstand repeated bending

Purpose and fit

This Manw Y-shaped cable adds a second USB-A plug to supply extra power for Mini USB 2.0 external hard drives that fail to spin up on a single port. It targets users with portable drives, older digital cameras or similar Mini USB devices that suffer from low-current recognition problems.

Who it suits and who it does not

It suits anyone whose Mini USB storage or peripheral drops out because one USB-A socket cannot deliver enough current. Buyers who need more storage capacity, faster transfer rates than 480Mbps, or a different connector type such as Micro USB or USB-C should look at other cables.

Capacity and headroom

The 60cm length keeps desktop routing tidy while reaching rear-panel ports. USB 2.0 bandwidth handles everyday file backup and document transfer, but it runs out when moving large media libraries or running applications directly from the drive where sustained throughput matters.

Questions about this item

Does my computer need two free USB-A ports to run this Manw Mini USB 2.0 Y Splitter Cable?

Yes, the cable has two USB-A male plugs — one carries data and the other supplies auxiliary power — so two ports are required.

Will the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 link still work if I connect it to an older USB 1.1 port?

The cable is USB 2.0 rated for 480 Mbps; plugging into a USB 1.1 port will fall back to that port's lower speed.

How can I confirm the 60 cm Y cable is delivering enough power to my external hard drive?

The drive should spin up without clicking, appear in the OS immediately and sustain file transfers without sudden disconnects.
