Is the USB-C connection powerful enough to operate the Blu-ray player?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, the USB-C connection is sufficient for the ASUS SBW06D5HU Blu-ray player, provided that the correct configuration is followed.

This player does not require an external power adapter - it draws all its power via USB. However, for reading and writing Blu-ray, you must use the Y-cable provided that connects TWO USB ports simultaneously to your computer or USB hub.

Why two USB connections are necessary

A single USB port may be sufficient for reading or writing DVDs and CDs (speeds up to 8x and 24x respectively)
Reading and writing Blu-ray (up to 6x) requires higher power delivery, hence the dual connection to ensure stable power supply

Make sure that your computer or USB hub has two available ports and that you properly connect both connectors of the Y-cable. This is the only requirement for the player to function correctly with Blu-ray discs.
