DIXSG USB 3.0 Y Splitter Cable 30cm

This DIXSG cable splits one USB 3.0 female port into two male connectors for extra power delivery. It targets users with 2.5-inch mobile hard disks that need more current than a single port provides. The 30cm length suits desktop or laptop setups. Copper construction supports the stated 480 Mbps data rate.

Check Port Types And Device Power Needs

Verify your host has a standard USB 3.0 Type-A port for the female connector. The USB 3.0 male plug handles both data and charging, while the USB 2.0 male plug supplies power only. Confirm your external drive draws power from two ports simultaneously. Note the power-only leg does not function with iOS devices.

Suits 2.5 Inch Drives Needing Dual Port Power

Ideal for owners of portable hard disks requiring supplemental current from a second USB socket. Not suited for users needing data transfer through both male ends or compatibility with Apple phones on the power branch. Buyers wanting a longer reach or different connector types should look at other cables.
