Know your gear
When a standard USB cable cannot transfer enough power to operate an external device, such as a portable 2.5in hard drive, you need a USB 2.0 y-cable. Simply plug this cable's USB B end into the device, and then plug the two USB A ends into open USB ports on one PC or Mac. This cable then pulls power from both USB ports, and thus increases the output to the external drive.
The red molded hood on the auxiliary USB A connector enables the user to quickly distinguish between main and auxiliary power. Foil and braid shielding reduces EMI/RFI interference, and twisted pair construction reduces crosstalk for high speed, error-free data transfer. This cable is compatible with USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 specifications.
Please Note: This cable is not designed to split USB signals to multiple computers. The two USB A connectors are meant to plug into USB ports on the same computer.

Rated 5 out of 5 byNT from This is NOT a true "Y" cableI bought this to use as a "Y" cable, but one end is not a full USB cable, it is only for getting power from the usb port. This is useless as a "Y" cable. Both of the Male "A" ends need to be fully USB compliant for this to be of any use. Do not buy this to use as a "Y" cable, it will not work.

Rated 5 out of 5 byPatty58 from C2G "Y" Cable - USB cable - 6 ft DOESN'T WORKThe C2G "Y" Cable - USB cable - 6 ft DOESN'T WORK! The actual "Y" cable that should connect to 2 computers is so short there is no way you could connect them even if the computers were right next to each other. It is a silly design and you can't really see it until you get it in the mail. Now I know. :(
