Connects a USB-C port to USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 male plugs, adding extra power for external hard drives in a 60cm cable

  • USB 3.0 port enables fast file transfers with external drives
  • Extra USB 2.0 port supplies supplementary power for high-power hard drives
  • Dual-port Y-shape design splits one USB-C input into two male outputs
  • 60 cm compact length keeps desktop connections tidy and travel-ready
  • Plug-and-play compatibility works with laptops, external hard drives and SSDs

60 cm USB-C Y-Cable for External Drives

This 60 cm Y-cable connects a USB-C host port to both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 male plugs. It targets laptop owners who need simultaneous high-speed data transfer and extra power for portable hard drives or SSDs. The short length keeps desk setups tidy and suits mobile use. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation.

USB 3.0 speed ceiling and USB 2.0 power role

Data moves at up to USB 3.0 rates on the primary leg while the secondary USB 2.0 leg supplies supplementary current only. The USB 2.0 connector does not carry data, so total throughput is bounded by the single USB 3.0 channel. Both plugs must be inserted into the host to deliver the combined power budget.

Dual male outputs: USB 3.0 data plus USB 2.0 power

The defining spec is the fixed Y-split into one USB 3.0 male and one USB 2.0 male connector. Buyers whose device accepts only a single USB-C or USB 3.0 plug cannot use this cable. It is not for connections that require two data lanes or a USB-C receptacle on the peripheral side.

  • Dual-port Y-shape design splits one USB-C input into two male outputs

Questions about this item

Should I choose the USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 connector for my external hard drive?

Use the USB 3.0 male connector for data transfer; the USB 2.0 male connector supplies extra power when a single port cannot deliver enough current.

What transfer speed will I actually see with the USB 3.0 link?

The USB 3.0 connection supports high-speed transmission for fast file transfers with external hard disks and SSDs.

Does the USB-C input limit the cable to USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 speeds?

The USB-C plug splits into one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 male port, so data runs at USB 3.0 rates while the second port adds supplementary power.
