Product DescriptionThere 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.

Rating: - Great
This is a great buy for a Hi-Speed 2.0 USB Y-Cable. I can say no more. BUY if you need it! I brought a mini B female to Male A gender changer connector for it as well.. and it works wonders.
