Vszerda USB 3.0 Female to Dual USB Male Y Cable 20cm Black

SKU CH-R23W-FMKCG

A 20 cm Y-cable draws power from two USB ports to run a 2.5" mobile hard disk

  • Delivers extra power to 2.5" drives via dual USB ports
  • USB 3.0 female connector handles data and power together
  • Second USB 2.0 male plug supplies additional power only
  • 20 cm length keeps desktop cabling short and tidy
  • Compatible with Android phones; iOS devices not supported on power side

Y-Cable for 2.5" Hard Drives

This USB 3.0 Y-cable connects a 2.5 inch mobile hard disk to two host ports simultaneously. It is designed for devices that cannot draw enough current from a single port to spin up and operate reliably. The extra power connector supplements the data link without requiring a separate wall adapter. Builders with self-powered enclosures or desktop 3.5 inch drives will not need this cable.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The cable itself is passive and generates no measurable heat or audible noise during operation. It simply combines the 5 V supply from two USB ports so the attached drive receives the current it requests. Power draw at the host side equals the drive's consumption split across both connectors, with no active circuitry adding overhead.

Bundled Accessories and Software

No software, drivers or additional accessories are included in the package. The only item supplied is the 20 cm black Y-cable with one USB 3.0 male plug, one USB 3.0 female port for data and power, and one USB 2.0 male plug for supplementary power. Compatibility with Android phones is noted for the power-only leg, while iOS devices are not supported on that connector.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Y cable so the 2.5" drive gets both data and extra power?

Plug the single USB 3.0 male into the host, then insert the blue USB 3.0 female for data and power and the black USB 2.0 female for additional power only.

Will the power-only connector need replacement after repeated plugging?

The USB 2.0 power-only female is rated for standard mating cycles; no scheduled replacement is required under normal use.

At what point does the 20 cm length limit placement of the drive?

The 20 cm (0.65 ft) cable restricts the drive to positions very close to the host ports; longer reach requires a separate extension.
