I'm looking for a Mini USB Y-Cable Splitter so I can try to power two DashCams at once. My cable is already run through my plastic runners hidden out of site. It wouldn't be very easy to run a second cable with out tearing everything apart so while I'm doing side by side comparrisons of two dashcams it would be nice to just spit my Mini USB I already have behind my mirror.
Searching google I can only find a mini USB cable that Motorolla makes.

It seems it doesn't split the power evenly though.
The part that worries me is it says:
"Note: Not intended for charging 2 phones"
The photo even shows that one side is for an accessory only.
So this might work but not sure. I guess it doesn't hurt to try for $4
Where else can I find a mini USB splitter that will bit a 50/50 split? The Motorolla Y-Cable is funky sounding.
So again this isn't for a permanent solution just when I'm doing dashcam comparison video testing side by side.
My Auto mini USB Power Adapter I have outputs 2A, and most dashcams are happy with 1A
