There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
With this cable it can draw current from 2 ports; but also works reliably only on the black one. I would recommend for any device that needs more power, and this weird old, "mini B" plug.
Now with this cord, I'm free to spin up any CD or DVD I want, without worrying about low spin speeds or complete no function due to low power!
