USB 2.0 Y-Cable 2x Type A male/female InLine 34510Z 0.2m

The InLine USB 2.0 Y-Cable (2x Type A male to Type A female, 0.2 m) combines power from two USB Type A ports into a single USB device connection. The compact 0.2 m cable supports USB 2.0 data rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s and is intended to provide additional current for peripherals that need more than a single port's 500 mA supply without requiring a separate power adapter.

Advantages

This Y-cable allows a device to draw power from two USB A ports simultaneously while maintaining a single USB A data/power receptacle. Its short 0.2 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for laptop use. The cable uses standard USB 2.0 connectors and is compatible with a wide range of USB-powered peripherals.

Suitable for

• External hard drives that require extra power
• Laptop cooling pads
• GPS receivers and similar USB peripherals
• Other USB devices needing more than 500 mA from a single port

How to use

Recommendations

Use this cable when a USB device does not function from a single port due to power limits. Avoid using it to bypass powered-hub specifications or safety protections; if a device still fails to operate, use a dedicated powered USB hub or the device’s external power supply.
