Last modified: Tuesday, July 19, 2005
A "Y" shaped power cable (one IDE to two IDE) splits an
existing power cable into two connections, allowing for additional connections
of internal devices such as a CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM, hard drive,
or other IDE devices. A Y-Cable can also be used as an extension of the existing
power cable. A Y-Cable is also called a Power Y cable.
