Dual microB USB Power Cable

Want to use your new Official Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display but need to keep your GPIO pins free? This handy little cable is just what you need!

We love the Raspberry Pi touchscreen but we hate to block up our GPIO! That's why we had these lovely little cables custom made, we figured you might like them too.

It's just 25cm long and capable of providing 2A combined current across the two male microB USB connectors. Keep your project neat and tidy while providing all the power you need for your Raspberry Pi, touchscreen, and GPIO attached gubbins!

  • 2A of current shared between both connectors
  • 25cm long
  • High quality cable with moulded microB USB connectors
  • Supplies power only (no data lines connected)
  • Use it to run/charge two microB devices at once!

We recommend using this cable with the Official Raspberry Pi Power Supply.

Please note: Raspberry Pi and touchscreen display not included!

Using a raspberry pi power supply and the splitter it does not have enough power for both screen and pi 3 Constantly getting low power warning If they done one with usb-c I would buy but not anymore of these

The cable does what it says it does! I use it to charge a tablet and it's external bluetooth keyboard/touchpad at the same time. I only need one charger!

Given the entire purpose of this cable is to tidy the wiring up, it is rather a disappointment. The ends which plug into the RiPI+Video boards are so big and clunky they really get in the way and are visible sticking out the top(or bottom) of the PI. They interfere with the units ability to sit flat when orientated one way around.

I agree with the other reviewers, you kind of expect better from Pimoroni... The cable does protrude from the top of the screen (can be mostly adjusted for but there is still a small annoying bit at the top). My other bug bear is that when a standard micro USB cable is plugged into the single end of the cable there is a gap between the two ends of each cable.

This Y cable works perfectly. Add to it a 2.5A supply and it will comfortably run a Pi 3 and a 7” touch screen. It’s relatively cheap but well made. I gave this four stars as I have one criticism. The plugs are obviously straight , not angled but are quite long and protrude above the screen so if you want to build the screen into a case with just one power input (as I intended), the case would have to be bigger than the screen. I will end up cutting off the plugs and soldering the wires.

Just received mine. Had to edit /boot/config.txt to rotate the screen. Works perfectly! Any chance getting it to work on android things?

Hi. Ive just received the LCD Frame pictured above, and i think its great. I appreciate that the Dual microB USB Power Cable comes along with the LCD frame, but i think its a shame the shape makes for the cables to stick above the frame and become visible.
