Y-cable for USB-C devices needing extra power

This Vszerda Y-cable connects a USB-C device to two USB-A ports on a host. One leg carries USB 3.0 data and power at 5 gigabits per second. The second leg supplies USB 2.0 power only. The 60 cm length suits desktop or laptop setups where a single port cannot deliver enough current.

Dual USB-A plugs with copper conductors

Both connectors are male and built with copper wiring for reliable conductivity. The black cable jacket protects the internal conductors during daily insertion and removal. The split design lets you draw combined power from two separate ports without needing an external adapter or wall charger.

Replaces single USB-C cables that starve 2.5 inch

Users with portable 2.5 inch hard drives that fail to spin up on one port gain stable operation by tapping a second port. The jump is worth it whenever a device shows symptoms of under-powering such as click noises, disconnections or failure to mount. It does not help devices that require more current than two USB-A ports can supply together.
