USB 2.0 Y-cable for external drives

This cable has two USB-A plugs and one Mini 5-pin plug in a Y layout. It is made for external hard-disk enclosures that need extra current from a second port. The 70 cm length suits desktop or laptop setups. Condition is new.

Connector layout decides fit

The Mini 5-pin end matches older portable drives, cameras and MP3 players that use that specific connector. Both USB-A ends are standard Type-A male plugs rated for USB 2.0. No other connector types are present on this cable.

Good for single Mini 5-pin devices needing dual

Buyers with hardware that uses Micro-USB, USB-C or full-size Mini-B ports should look elsewhere. The Y design only helps when the host can supply two adjacent USB-A sockets.

Questions about this item

What does the USB 2.0 rating mean for transfer speed with this cable?

The cable is built to the USB 2.0 specification; real-world throughput will depend on the connected drive, host controller and file sizes.

How does the dual-A Y design work with the Mini 5-pin connector?

One Mini 5-pin plug connects to the device; two USB-A plugs go to the host — one carries data and power, the second supplies extra current for spin-up on larger hard-disk cases.

Will the 70 cm length reach from a rear motherboard port to a desktop drive enclosure?

At 70 cm (about 27 inches) the cable spans a typical tower width; route it behind the motherboard tray for a clean install.
