Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does this cable have two standard USB-A plugs?
One plug transmits 5Gbps data and standard power, while the second auxiliary plug pulls additional 5V current from a second USB port to prevent power starvation on demanding drives.

Does this work with the Nintendo Wii U console?
Yes! Wii U USB ports often supply insufficient current for external hard drives. This Y-cable is the official recommended setup to keep external storage stable.

Can I plug the second USB-A connector into a wall charger?
Yes, if your computer or console does not have a free adjacent USB port, you can plug the auxiliary power plug into any standard 5V USB wall adapter or power bank.
