USB 3.0 Y Splitter with Extra Power Port
This 30 cm cable splits one USB 3.0 A male connection into two female ports: one USB 3.0 A for data and charging, and one USB 2.0 A dedicated to charging. It draws power from two host ports to support devices that a single port cannot drive reliably. The link operates at up to 5.0 Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0 peripherals.
Suits users with power-hungry USB devices
Ideal for external hard drives, keyboards or audio interfaces that exceed the current limit of a single USB socket. The extra USB 2.0 female leg supplies supplementary power without carrying data. Not intended for users who need two simultaneous high-speed data connections or who require a longer reach than 30 cm.
Handles one 5.0 Gbps data stream
The USB 3.0 female port delivers full SuperSpeed throughput while the USB 2.0 leg contributes only charging current. Bandwidth caps at 500 MB/s on the data leg; the cable cannot aggregate bandwidth across both female ports. Total length is fixed at 30 cm, limiting placement flexibility in larger enclosures.

Questions about this item
Do I need two free USB ports on my computer to power a single device with this 30 cm Y splitter?
Yes, the cable draws power from two host ports — one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 — to supply enough current for devices that a single port cannot handle.
If I connect a USB 2.0 external hard drive to the USB 3.0 female port, will it still receive the extra power from the USB 2.0 leg?
Yes, the Y design feeds combined power to both female ports, so a USB 2.0 drive gets the supplementary current even though its data runs at 2.0 speeds.
How can I confirm the 5.0 Gbps link is active after plugging in a USB 3.0 device?
Check the operating system’s device manager or system profiler; it should list the connected device at SuperSpeed (5.0 Gbps) rather than High Speed.
