The USB 2.0 Mini-B to Dual USB-A Y Power and Data Cable is designed to provide additional power to Mini-B USB devices by drawing current from two USB ports on the same computer.
This Y-split cable features a USB 2.0 Mini-B male connector for the device and two USB-A male connectors for the host. One USB-A connector carries both data and power, while the second USB-A connector (red) supplies auxiliary power only. This design is ideal for power-hungry USB devices that cannot operate reliably from a single USB port.
Foil and braid shielding combined with twisted-pair construction helps minimise EMI/RFI interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable and error-free USB 2.0 data transmission.

• Both USB-A connectors must be plugged into the same computer
