The USB 2.0 Micro-B to Dual USB-A Y Power and Data Cable is designed to provide additional power to Micro-B USB devices by drawing current from two USB ports on the same computer.
This Y-split cable features a USB 2.0 Micro-B male connector for the device and two USB-A male connectors for the host. One USB-A connector supplies both data and power, while the second USB-A connector (red) provides auxiliary power only. This design is ideal for portable external hard drives and other USB-powered devices that cannot operate reliably from a single USB port.
By combining power from two USB ports, the cable helps prevent device dropouts, spin-up failures, and intermittent disconnections commonly caused by insufficient USB power.

• Both USB-A connectors must be plugged into the same computer
• This cable does not split USB data between two computers
• Designed for USB-powered devices only
