   @Flux @jcs If it did more than baseline 5V at low current, without active logic switching the different connectors, it would fry devices if you ever plugged in more than one wondering what would happen. USB is not made to be "splittable" like this and you'd end up feeding wrong voltages to devices and possibly crossing their data lines.

     @jcs I have one. It depressingly only moves 500mAmps and no data.
