This 1-foot USB (Universal Serial Bus)-A to mini-B Y-cable provides two USB (Universal Serial Bus) "A" male connectors & a single USB (Universal Serial Bus) "mini-B" male connector
- an ideal solution for providing the additional power required by some mini-USB external hard drives connected to the standard USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports provided by most computers. Especially valuable in situations where a single USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 port may not offer sufficient power to external hard drives, the USB (Universal Serial Bus) A/mini-B Y-cable can be connected to two ports on one PC to increase the power output to power the external device. Aside from the additional power provided, this 1ft cable also offers high speed error-free data transfer.
