There are times you may have an external device- such as a portable 2.5" hard drive- and a standard USB cable is not able to transfer enough power to operate the device. This problem can be easily solved by using the USB 2.0 "Y" Cables. The cable features a red molded hood for the auxiliary USB A connector- allowing the user to easily distinguish between main and auxiliary power. Foil and braid shielding reduces EMI/RFI interference and a twisted-pair construction helps reduce crosstalk- ensuring high-speed- error-free data transfer. This cable is compatible with USB 1.0- 1.1- and 2.0 specifications.

Portable hard drive necessity

"External portable hard drives especially require this cable to function correctly because of the USB port current limit. I am very pleased with the heavier cable construction and reinforcement protection at the cable junction point. Quality color coded connectors allow for the cable to remain attached to the computer and plug in the correct added power connector when needed freeing up a USB port...." Read Full Review »

Is what it says it is, but TOO SHORT for 15" PowerBook

"Item came as described, although there was no mention of how long the cables were after the split. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the two USB ports are on opposite sides of the 15" PowerBook G4, it's not the solution for me. I can only access one USB port at a time...therefore, not enough power to run my external hard drive...." Read Full Review »

"Funny thing... I did an Amazon search for a Western Digital USB 2.0 Power Booster Cable (Model: WDCA029RNN), and this is what came up. Only 'after' ordering did I realize that the description of the item was a 6 foot cable, which would have been too long a power cable for my needs. I received the ca …" Read Full Review »

CablesToGo 6 ft USB 2.0 Y Cable Review

Great, but Y is too short

★★★★☆

4.0

"Great cable for use on removable HD on a 17" Powerbook except the arms of the Y aren't long enough to stretch across both sides of the laptop where the two USB ports are. I would also be interested in a micro USB Y cable for the same application. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
