One-to-two USB 2.0 splitter

This IOGEAR DE/USB/SPLITTER/1PACK converts a single USB-A port into two USB-A ports. It suits users who need to connect a keyboard and mouse or similar low-draw peripherals to a laptop, console or desktop. The 1 ft blue cable uses copper conductors and a double-braided nylon jacket. It is not compatible with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay vehicle systems.

Shared 5 V 2 A power budget

The adapter is rated at 5 V/2 A total, so each port receives a maximum of 1 A when both are used together. Bandwidth and charging current are divided between the two ports, so transfer rates and charge speeds drop under simultaneous load. A stable 5 V/2 A or higher source is recommended for best results.

Driver-free plug-and-play

No software installation is required; the splitter works immediately on Windows, macOS, Linux, Xbox and PlayStation consoles. The reinforced aluminum shell and braided cable resist bending stress. The only common issue is insufficient current for two power-hungry devices at once, which the shared 2 A limit cannot overcome.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 V / 2 A shared power budget and USB 2.0 bandwidth limit keyboard and mouse response when both ports run all day?

The splitter shares a 5 V / 2 A supply, giving each port up to 1 A when both are active, while total data throughput stays within the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 limit.

Does the host device need a USB-A port supplying 5 V / 2 A for the splitter to work?

Yes, it plugs into a standard USB-A host port and requires a stable 5 V / 2 A (or higher) source; car chargers and smart-car systems such as Android Auto or Apple CarPlay are not supported.

Can I keep using my existing USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse through the two female ports without extra drivers?

The splitter is plug-and-play with USB 2.0 peripherals; both ports share the single 480 Mbps link and the 5 V / 2 A power budget, so high-draw devices may charge more slowly when used together.
