Mini USB 2.0 Y-Cable for External Drives
This USB 2.0 Y-cable connects a Mini 5-pin device such as an external hard drive to two standard USB-A ports. The 60 cm length suits desktop setups where the host ports are close together. It carries both data and supplemental power through a single cable assembly.
Builders adding power-hungry portable drives
The dual USB-A plugs draw extra current for drives that exceed a single port’s supply, making it useful for older enclosures and some cameras or MP3 players. Systems that already provide enough power from one port, or devices with Micro-USB or USB-C connectors, will not benefit from this cable.
Mini 5-pin connector type
The device end uses a Mini USB 5-pin plug, so the cable only fits equipment with that specific port. Verify the drive or peripheral has a Mini 5-pin socket before ordering.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the 60 cm Y-cable to power a 2.5-inch external hard drive?
Plug the Mini 5-pin end into the drive, insert both USB-A plugs into separate ports on the same computer, and ensure the power-only connector is fully seated so the drive receives enough current.
What wear should I watch for on the Mini 5-pin connector after repeated use?
The Mini 5-pin plug can loosen over time; if the drive disconnects when the cable moves, replace the cable to avoid data corruption.
What is the first sign that the 60 cm cable cannot sustain the drive’s power draw?
The drive will click or fail to spin up when both USB-A plugs are connected, indicating the combined port current is insufficient.
