Y-shaped cable with USB-C plug and two USB-A plugs, 60 cm

LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD USB-C to USB 3.0 & USB 2.0 Y Cable 60cm

SKU CH-33WS-5WZ94

A 60 cm Y-cable splits one USB-C device across two USB-A ports — one USB 3.0 for power and data, one USB 2.0 for extra power — so portable 2.5 inch drives spin up reliably

  • Draws power from two USB ports for stable device operation
  • USB 3.0 connector handles both power and data transfer
  • USB 2.0 connector supplies additional power only
  • 60 cm length suits desktop and portable setups
  • Powers 2.5 inch drives that need more current than one port provides

USB-C Y-cable for power-hungry portables

This 60 cm cable splits a single USB-C device connection across two USB-A ports on a host computer. One leg carries USB 3.0 power and data while the second leg draws USB 2.0 power only, combining current for devices that exceed a single port’s limit. It targets users with 2.5-inch external drives or other bus-powered peripherals that fail to spin up on one connection.

Fits between a USB-C device and two USB-A sockets

The cable needs two free Type-A ports on the same machine, one capable of USB 3.0 signalling and the other providing USB 2.0 power. No external adapter or driver is required; the Y-junction merges the two power paths internally. This arrangement frees the user from carrying a separate powered hub or wall wart when travelling with a power-hungry drive.

Passive wiring draws no extra overhead

All conductors are passive copper, so the cable itself adds no active circuitry, fan noise or thermal load. Power draw is limited to what the two host ports can negotiate, and the 60 cm length keeps voltage drop minimal for typical bus-powered workloads.

Questions about this item

Does the 60cm length limit where I can place a 2.5-inch drive relative to the laptop?

The 60cm cable requires the drive to sit within roughly half a metre of the host ports; longer runs would need an extension.

Will the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connectors run warm when powering a drive continuously?

Both plugs draw only the current the drive requests, so they stay at normal operating temperature during all-day use.

Must my laptop provide both a USB 3.0 and a USB 2.0 port for this Y cable to work?

Yes, the cable needs one USB 3.0 port for data and power plus a second USB 2.0 port for extra power.
