What this cable does

This SMUGDESK USB 2.0 Type-C Y cable turns a single Type-C male port into two Type-C female ports, letting you connect two low-power peripherals at once. It runs to the USB 2.0 standard with a maximum 480Mbps data rate, which covers everyday file transfers and mouse or keyboard input. The 30cm length keeps desktop wiring tidy without excess slack, and the plug-and-play design requires no driver installation.

Who it suits and who it does not

Office workers and travellers who need an extra port for a flash drive and a mouse on a laptop will find this compact splitter convenient. It is not for users who want to charge a phone or tablet, nor for anyone needing to run a bus-powered external hard drive or other high-draw device, because the adapter is limited to low-power accessories.

The spec that decides fit

The USB 2.0 interface caps data at 480Mbps, so the splitter cannot support USB 3.x speeds required by fast SSDs or video capture devices. If your workflow depends on higher bandwidth, this cable will bottleneck the connection and a different solution is necessary.

Questions about this item

Does the 30 cm cable include both Type-C female ports, or do I need extra adapters?

The 30 cm Y cable has one Type-C male plug and two Type-C female sockets built in, so no extra adapters are required to connect two peripherals.

Is the USB 2.0 version fast enough for a flash drive?

USB 2.0 delivers up to 480 Mbps, which handles typical flash-drive transfers and office accessories without bottleneck.

What does the 480 Mbps figure mean when I plug in a mouse and a flash drive together?

The 480 Mbps bandwidth is shared between the two ports, so simultaneous use divides the throughput but remains sufficient for a mouse and standard flash-drive traffic.
