These fully-rated universal serial bus cables provide transfer rates up to 480Mbps depending on USB version, and easily attach to any USB device. A/B cables are designed to connect from your USB port on Hub, PC or Mac to your USB device. Foil and braid shielding reduces EMI/RFI interference and twisted-pair construction helps reduce crosstalk thus ensuring high-speed, error-free data transfer. Meets all the UL requirements for communication cabling, and is compatible with USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0.
Overview
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 Mini-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.
