One Port into Two Charging Outlets

This USB-C splitter cable turns a single female Type-C port into two male Type-C plugs so two devices can charge at the same time. It is aimed at users who need to power a phone and a pair of earbuds, or a tablet and a smartwatch, from one laptop or charger port. The Y-shaped layout keeps the cables tidy in tight spaces such as car consoles or desk setups. No data lines are connected, so the cord handles power only.

Suits Low-Power Accessories Not Data Devices

Buyers who want to charge phones, tablets, Bluetooth earbuds, smartwatches, LED lamps or portable fans will find the 15 W total output and 3 A current limit adequate. The intelligent power sharing balances current when both ports are in use. Anyone needing to transfer files, drive a display, or run a high-draw peripheral such as a laptop or external drive should look elsewhere because the cable carries no data signals and cannot supply more than the rated power.

Plug In and Use With No Software

Installation is as simple as inserting the female end into the host port and connecting the two male ends to the devices. The reinforced solder joints and corrosion-resistant connectors are built to survive repeated plug cycles. The only common issue is expecting data throughput or faster charging than 15 W allows; the splitter will not negotiate higher wattages and will not pass video or file transfers.

Questions about this item

What type of USB-C port must my charger or power bank provide for the Cable Matters 5210YGDX6493 to supply power to two devices?

The splitter requires a USB-C port that can deliver power output; it draws up to 15 W total at 3 A and distributes it between the two male plugs for simultaneous charging.

Will this splitter interfere with the data connection of an older USB-C hub or dock I keep attached to the same host port?

No, the cable is designed for charging only and cannot transmit data, so it will not affect any data link on a separate hub or dock connected to another port on the host.

After plugging in two phones, how can I confirm the splitter is delivering the rated 15 W shared output?

Check each phone's charging indicator or battery settings; both should show active charging and the combined draw will not exceed 15 W with intelligent power sharing between the two ports.
