Brand: Cables To Go
Located in: Cables
When a standard USB cable cannot transfer enough power to operate an external device, such as a portable 2.5in hard drive, you need a USB 2.0 y-cable. Simply plug this cable's USB Mini-b end into the device, and then plug the two USB A ends into open USB ports on one PC or Mac. This cable then pulls power from both USB ports, and thus increases the output to the external drive. The red molded hood on the auxiliary USB A connector enables the user to quickly distinguish between main and auxiliary power. Foil and braid shielding reduces EMI/RFI interference, and twisted pair construction reduces crosstalk for high speed, error-free data transfer. This cable is compatible with USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 specifications. Connector 1: One USB Mini-b Male Connector 2: Two USB Type A Male Please Note: This cable is not designed to split USB signals to multiple computers. The two USB A connectors are meant to plug into USB ports on the same computer. Furthermore, thanks to customer feedback, we have extended the length of the arms of the Y from 9 to 12 inches.

Comments about Cables To Go 6ft USB 2.0 One Mini-b Male to Two A Male Y-Cable:

This cable replaced the one that came with my external hard drive.
The flimsy cable that came with my hard drive
was not functioning so I thought I had lost everything on my external hard drive.
I was saved by this new cable. It is very obviously much sturdier than my original cable
and no doubt it will last longer.

Comments about Cables To Go 6ft USB 2.0 One Mini-b Male to Two A Male Y-Cable:

Needed the Y-cable to power my new Toshiba external hard drive. No one had what I needed...Not Apple, not Radio Shack, no one. Cables to Go had exactly the right cable at the right length at the right price. Awesome!

Service & Delivery comments:

Great delivery, quick and intact.

Comments about Cables To Go 6ft USB 2.0 One Mini-b Male to Two A Male Y-Cable:

Great cable for use on removable HD on a 17" Powerbook except the arms of the Y aren't long enough to stretch across both sides of the laptop where the two USB ports are. I would also be interested in a micro USB Y cable for the same application.

Cables To Go Response: Thanks to JJ's feedback and other reevaluation here, we have lengthened the y to be 12 inches instead of the previous 9 inches.

Comments about Cables To Go 6ft USB 2.0 One Mini-b Male to Two A Male Y-Cable:

External portable hard drives especially require this cable to function correctly because of the USB port current limit. I am very pleased with the heavier cable construction and reinforcement protection at the cable junction point. Quality color coded connectors allow for the cable to remain attached to the computer and plug in the correct added power connector when needed freeing up a USB port.

Service & Delivery comments:

Good service. Good delivery.

Comments about Cables To Go 6ft USB 2.0 One Mini-b Male to Two A Male Y-Cable:

I need the cable to hook up drives to computers with low USB power capbility. Without it the drive is unusable.

Service & Delivery comments:

The cable is not available from outside markets. I tried Cables To Go out of desperation, but they have made me a repeat customer. Professional assembly, great help from the order desk and great functionality at an excellent price. They have exceeded my expectations.
