- One port handles USB 2.0 data at 480 Mbps while the second adds power only
- Delivers up to 5 V 2 A for a 10 W peak when both ports are used
- 60 cm length suits portable 2.5 inch drives and other peripherals

Dual USB-A Y-Cable for Extra Power
This Fervit cable connects a single Micro USB 5-Pin device to two USB Type-A ports on a host. One connector carries both USB 2.0 data and power while the second supplies extra power only. It is intended for users whose portable 2.5 drives or similar peripherals cannot start reliably from one port.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
The assembly draws up to DC 5V 2A when both USB-A plugs are seated, yielding a peak of 10W. No active cooling is present so operation is silent. Power consumption scales with the attached device and the host ports’ current limits.
Bundled Accessories and Software
No software, drivers or additional accessories are included in the package. The cable itself is the complete solution; it enables higher current delivery without configuration. Buyers who need a longer reach or a different device connector will require a separate cable.

Questions about this item
How do I plug in the Y-cable so the extra-power USB-A connector actually feeds the 2.5 drive?
Insert the data-and-power USB-A into the host port first, then connect the second USB-A to a separate powered port; reversing the order leaves the Micro-USB 5-pin device without the combined 5 V 2 A supply.
Will the Micro-USB 5-pin plug wear out and need replacing under daily connect-disconnect cycles?
The Micro-USB 5-pin connector is rated for standard USB 2.0 mating cycles; if the spring tabs loosen or the port feels slack, replace the cable rather than the drive.
At what point does the 10 W peak limit throttle a sustained transfer to a portable 2.5 drive?
Continuous draws above 5 V 2 A (10 W) will cause the host ports to current-limit, dropping the link to USB 1.1 1.5 Mbps until the load falls back within spec.
