Description

StarTech USB2HABMY6 USB-A to Mini-USB Y-Cable

Overview

The StarTech USB2HABMY6 is a 6-foot Y-cable designed to connect and power external devices equipped with a USB Mini-B port. This cable addresses scenarios where a single USB port on a host device cannot provide sufficient power or data bandwidth for a peripheral, such as certain external hard drives or specialized data loggers. By utilizing two USB-A connectors on the host end, one for data and one for power, it ensures reliable operation and avoids power-related connection drops. The USB2HABMY6 is suitable for connecting devices in surveillance systems, industrial automation, or any setup requiring a stable connection to a Mini-USB peripheral.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard USB Mini-B 5-pin port. It is particularly useful for external Mini-USB hard drives, older digital cameras, and other peripherals that require more power than a single USB 2.0 port can deliver. The dual USB-A connectors should be plugged into separate USB ports on the host computer or powered USB hub to ensure both data transfer (up to 480Mbps) and dedicated power delivery.

Installation Notes

The cable is constructed with 24 AWG wire for the power conductors and 28 AWG for data, ensuring robust performance within its operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. Ensure both USB-A connectors are firmly seated in the host ports. The cable's length of 6 feet provides moderate reach for connecting peripherals without excessive slack.
