Description

A USB-A male to dual USB-A female cable is a compact adapter that splits one USB-A port into two USB-A female ports. One end plugs into a computer, power adapter, or USB host device, and the other end provides two USB-A female sockets so you can connect two USB devices simultaneously. It’s typically a short cable (≈20 cm) for tidy desk use without excess cable clutter.

Key Features

Connector Configuration

• 1 × USB-A Male plug — connects to a host source (PC, power adapter, etc.)

• 2 × USB-A Female ports — for plugging in USB devices like flash drives, peripherals, or charging cables

Functionality

• Expands a single USB-A port into two accessible ports

• Often used to add extra connection options in tight spaces

Compatibility

• Works with a wide range of USB-A devices (keyboards, mice, drives, charging cables)

• Supports the USB 2.0 standard (most common for simple splitters) with data transfer up to 480 Mbps (typical for USB 2.0)

Data vs Power

• Some splitters only carry power on both female ends

• Others let one port handle both data + power and the other power only (common on Y-cables)
  They do not act like a USB hub — you cannot connect and run two data devices at full speed simultaneously unless it’s a powered hub.

Build & Size

• Short cable (≈20 cm) — less clutter, ideal near laptops or desktops

• Typically PVC jacketed for durability

• Standard USB-A connectors for universal fit

Use Cases

• Add 2 charging leads from one USB power source

• Connect one data-capable USB device plus another low-power device

• Convenient expansion where USB ports are limited
