Dual USB-A Y-Cable for Portable Drives
This USB 3.0 Y-cable connects a Micro-B portable hard drive to two USB-A ports, delivering up to 4.8 Gbps transfer speed with a USB 3.0 host and device. The 40 cm length suits desktop or laptop use where the drive sits close to the computer. It targets users whose single port cannot supply enough current for a mechanical drive.
Sustained Transfer with Shielded Construction
Twisted-pair cabling and full shielding maintain signal integrity during long copy sessions, meeting USB 3.0 SuperSpeed requirements. The second USB-A plug draws supplementary power from a 2.0 or 3.0 port, preventing voltage drops that cause drive disconnects under continuous load. Molded strain relief protects the wire-to-connector joints from fatigue.
Simple Plug-In with One Alignment Caution
Both USB-A ends are keyed, so they insert only one way; force applied upside-down can bend the Micro-B receptacle on the drive. The short cable reduces clutter but limits placement flexibility if the two host ports are widely spaced. No drivers are required on any modern operating system.

Questions about this item
Does the extra USB-A connector draw noticeable heat or power when the cable runs all day?
The Y cable splits power across two USB-A plugs so each port carries less current, keeping connector temperature low during continuous use.
What ports must my computer already have for this cable to work?
You need two free USB-A ports — either USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 — to supply enough power for the Micro-B device.
Will the 40 cm length and dual USB-A plugs work with my older USB 2.0 laptop and USB 3.0 drive?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 hosts and USB 3.0 devices, so the older laptop and newer drive will connect at USB 2.0 speeds.
