Dead link.
- StavrosK 13y agoWorks for me. It's the cable most portable/USB hard disks come with.
- Piskvorrr 13y agoHmm, weird. Just try searching for "USB Y Cable" images, lots of results like these will pop up: http://www.everythingusb.com/images/list/apricorn-aegis-bio-usb-cable.jpg http://www.everythingusb.com/images/list/apricorn-aegis-bio-... Basically, it's a USB extender cable, with an extra pair of power wires soldered on and terminated in a USB male header - the original use is for power-hungry disks, where you'd plug both the male headers into the computer, increasing the available power (as USB 2.0 can only give 500 mA through a single port, per spec), at the cost of hogging two USB ports. It can be re-used as a USB condom as well.
