    Well made cable.
    It's probably best to use dual USB ports fed by the same power source, since both cables supply power to the micro plug on the other end (only one supplies data, but they both supply power). Since both plugs are wired for power in parallel (tied together), things could get wonky if the USB ports voltage was different, etc. (running off of different power supplies), so probably best to use two USB ports that are shared from the same power brick, laptop, adapter, etc. to power both plugs.My application for this is to supply extra power to a USB based cellular modem (a PCIe type in an enclosure), since I will be plugging it into a single USB port on a mini router and that port may not supply enough power on its own for the modem. I'll be using a USB power bank that has two ports to run both (for a mobile application). One port on the power bank will feed the router (the router is powered via a USB cable) and the other port on the power bank will feed the red plug here. The data+power side of the cable (the black plug) will plug into my mini router. The USB micro end will go to the modem enclosure.This will keep me from having to run a powered USB hub in-between the router and the modem for the time being, but, for a more permanent install, I would consider getting a powered hub and not using a Y cable altogether.
