USB Cable DeLOCK 83178 USB 2.0 0.3 m 2 x USB A Black

This USB Y-cable from DELOCK (model 83178) is a 0.3 m cable with two USB A male connectors designed to draw power from two separate USB ports. It supports USB 2.0 signaling with a maximum data rate of 0.48 Gbit/s and is intended for powering devices with a USB mini 5‑pin interface, for example 2.5" drive enclosures and similar peripherals.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact solution to increase available power by combining two USB A ports without requiring external power supplies. Its USB 2.0 compatibility ensures broad device support, and the short 0.3 m length reduces cable clutter while maintaining a durable black design for everyday use.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Powering 2.5" external hard drive enclosures with USB mini 5‑pin connectors
• Providing additional power to USB devices that require more current than a single port can deliver
• Use with notebooks or desktop PCs where an extra powered USB connection is needed

How to use
