Product identity

The Vszerda USB 3.0 Y splitter cable connects one USB 3.0 male plug to two female ports. It is intended for users who need to power a 2.5 inch mobile hard disk from two USB sockets when a single port cannot supply enough current.

Compatibility check

Verify that your host device provides both a USB 3.0 port for data and power and a second USB 2.0 port for supplementary power. The cable requires two Type-A sockets in close proximity because the split tails are only 30cm long.

Build and daily use

The rubber-sheathed construction resists wear during frequent plugging and unplugging. The dual-male layout means the Y junction sits near the host, keeping the device port free while drawing extra power from the adjacent socket.

Questions about this item

What connectors come on the cable and do I need any extra cables to use it?

The cable has one USB 3.0 male connector for data and power, a second USB 2.0 male connector for extra power only, and two USB 3.0 female ports for your device. No extra cables are required.

Should I choose the 30 cm version or a longer one for my 2.5 inch drive?

Only the 30 cm (0.98 ft) length is listed. It keeps voltage drop low for a 2.5 inch drive while reaching adjacent ports on a laptop or desktop.

Will the USB 3.0 male connector deliver full 3.0 speed when I plug the Y cable into my PC?

The USB 3.0 male leg carries both 3.0 data and power, so the drive can run at USB 3.0 speeds provided the host port and drive both support 3.0.
