Ruth's sister USB 3.0 Female to Dual USB Male Y Extension Cable 35cm Black

SKU CH-QVW2-3MF91

A 35 cm Y-cable that adds a second USB 2.0 male plug to a USB 3.0 connection, supplying extra power for 2.5 inch mobile hard disks

  • Delivers extra power to 2.5" drives via dual USB male plugs
  • 35 cm length keeps mobile setups tidy and flexible
  • USB 3.0 female port supports data and charging together
  • Second USB 2.0 male plug supplies power only, no data
  • Black finish suits most laptop and desktop colour schemes

What this cable does

This USB 3.0 Y-cable connects a single female port to two male plugs. One male plug carries both data and power using the USB 3.0 standard, while the second male plug supplies additional power only. It is intended for 2.5 inch mobile hard disks that need more current than a single port can provide.

Check your ports and device

Verify that your host has a USB 3.0 Type-A port for the data-and-power plug and a second Type-A port for the power-only plug. The device you are powering must use a USB 3.0 Micro-B connector to mate with the female end. The cable length is 35 centimetres, so measure the distance between your ports and the drive to confirm reach.

Suited for single-drive power boost

This cable suits users who need to run one 2.5 inch hard disk from two USB sockets on the same computer. It will not help if your drive requires a different connector type, if you only have one free USB port, or if you need to connect multiple drives simultaneously.

Questions about this item

What connectors are included on the cable and do I need any extra adapters for a 2.5" drive?

The cable has one USB 3.0 male plug for data and power, one USB 2.0 male plug for extra power only, and a USB 3.0 female port for the drive. No extra adapters are required for a standard 2.5" drive.

Should I choose a different length or colour for my setup?

This model is only offered in a 35cm length and black colour. If you need a longer reach or a different colour, you would need a different cable.

Will the 35cm length reach from my laptop port to a drive on the desk?

At 35cm the cable suits close-range connections such as a laptop port to a drive placed beside it; it will not span larger distances.
