Manw Dual USB-A Male Y-Split Cable USB3.0 Data + USB2.0 Power to Type-C

SKU CH-RT8A-GPSGK

A Y-split cable delivers USB 3.0 data and USB 2.0 auxiliary power to Type-C drives, solving underpower issues for 2.5 and 3.5-inch SSDs and HDDs

  • Fast 5 Gbps data transfer via USB 3.0 connection
  • Extra USB 2.0 power port prevents drive underpower errors
  • Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for stable long sessions
  • Multi-layer shielding cuts electromagnetic noise to protect file integrity
  • Flexible durable jacket withstands daily bending and pulling

Dual USB-A Y-split cable for Type-C drives

This cable combines a USB 3.0 data connector with a USB 2.0 auxiliary power plug into a single Type-C male end. It is designed for portable SSDs and 2.5 or 3.5-inch external hard drives that draw more current than a single host port can supply. The Y-split topology lets the drive negotiate high-speed data while pulling extra power from a second port. It suits users whose laptops or desktops cannot sustain heavy disk loads on one socket.

USB 3.0 data limited to 5 Gbps host capability

The data leg operates at the USB 3.0 specification ceiling of 5 Gbps, so actual throughput cannot exceed the host controller or drive capability. The auxiliary leg only delivers USB 2.0 power; it carries no data signals and does not increase bandwidth. Multi-layer shielding reduces electromagnetic noise that can corrupt files during sustained transfers. Total current available still depends on the combined output of the two host ports used.

Single Type-C male connector decides fit

The cable terminates in one Type-C male plug, so it only fits enclosures and portable drives with a matching Type-C female receptacle. Drives equipped with Micro-B, Type-A or proprietary ports cannot use this cable without a separate adapter. Buyers must verify the exact port on their storage device before purchase. No other connector or gender variant is included in the package.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the USB3.0 data leg or the USB2.0 power leg for my drive?

Use both simultaneously: the USB3.0 leg carries data at up to 5Gbps while the USB2.0 leg supplies extra current to prevent power drops on 2.5 or 3.5-inch drives.

What does the 5Gbps bandwidth mean when I copy files to my portable SSD?

It is the theoretical maximum for the USB3.0 data channel; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on the drive, enclosure and host controller.

Which USB standard does the Type-C connector follow and what does it limit?

The Type-C plug connects to the drive enclosure; the cable’s data leg is USB3.0 and the auxiliary leg is USB2.0, so speed and power are capped by those two standards.
