Wanted to cable my mobile hard disk position a little further away. Regular hard drive hanging on a Y-USB cable. Having the extension cord between the old cable and hard drive attached to stop working the hard drive. Have the changes undone and the hard drive is running again. The extension cable (USB 2.0 Mini B extension (USB mini 5-pin connector to USB mini B connector 5-pin) 1.2 m) lies unused in the drawer
