The Goobay 93587 is a USB Y-cable designed for devices with a 5-pin Mini-USB B connection that may require more power than a single USB port can provide.

The cable has two USB-A male plugs at one end and one Mini-USB B male plug at the other. Its Dual-Power design allows power to be drawn from two USB ports, making it particularly useful for higher-consumption USB devices.

Wentronic specifically lists this cable type for higher-power USB equipment such as certain 2.5-inch external hard drives, where one USB port may not provide sufficient power for reliable operation.

With USB 2.0 Hi-Speed support, it enables data transfer rates up to 480Mbit/s. Construction includes double shielding, AWG 28/30 BC inner conductors and PVC insulation.

The 0.6m length provides a short and convenient connection for computers, laptops, powered hubs and compatible Mini-USB equipment.

Important note

This cable uses two USB-A ports to provide additional power to the Mini-USB device. Before use, always confirm device compatibility, Mini-USB connector type, required power and USB port capability.

Do not confuse Mini-USB B with Micro-USB B or USB-C. These connectors have different shapes and are not interchangeable.

The cable supports USB 2.0, with data transfer up to 480Mbit/s. It should not be confused with USB 3.0 or faster cables.

Actual available power depends on the USB ports used and the connected device.

This item corresponds only to the Goobay 93587 Mini-USB B to 2x USB-A 0.6m cable. Hard drive, external enclosure, computer, USB hub and other equipment are not included.
