Black Y-splitter cable with one USB 3.0 male plug and two female ports, 20cm length

LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD USB 3.0 Y Splitter 1 Female to 2 Male 20cm

SKU CH-YYE6-6W0RV

A 20 cm Y-cable draws power from two USB ports to run a single 2.5" hard drive, providing USB 3.0 data on one branch and USB 2.0 power on the other

  • Connects a 2.5" hard drive to two USB ports for extra power
  • USB 3.0 female port handles data and power together
  • USB 2.0 female port supplies power only for wider compatibility
  • Works with Android phones for mobile drive use
  • Compact 20 cm cable keeps setups tidy

Portable drive power adapter

This Y-splitter cable connects one USB 3.0 device to two host ports so a portable 2.5 hard disk can draw extra current when a single port cannot supply enough power. It is designed for users who experience spin-up failures or disconnections with bus-powered external drives on laptops or older desktop ports.

Dual-connector power split

One female port carries USB 3.0 power and data while the second female port provides USB 2.0 power only, letting the cable combine current from two separate host sockets. The power-only leg works with Android phones but does not function with iOS devices, so mobile users should verify compatibility before relying on it for phone-connected storage.

Check host ports and device needs

Ensure the computer or hub has two free USB-A sockets close enough for the 20 cm cable reach. Confirm the external drive uses a standard USB 3.0 Micro-B or Type-A plug that matches the data female port, and remember the auxiliary leg supplies power only and cannot transfer data.

Questions about this item

Will the 20 cm Y-cable or its USB 2.0 power leg need replacing if I use it daily with a 2.5" drive?

The cable is a passive assembly with no moving parts; only physical damage or connector wear from repeated plugging would require replacement.

What limits sustained transfers when the splitter draws power from two USB ports?

The USB 2.0 power-only leg caps extra current at the 2.0 spec, so total available power is the bottleneck during heavy disk activity.

Does the 20 cm splitter get warm or add noise when powering a 2.5" drive all day?

No active components mean no fan noise; the cable may feel slightly warm under continuous load but stays within normal operating temperature.
