Is cable both power and data?

I have a Y-shaped USB cable, 18" long, with type A at one end and the
two previously most common mini's at the other end, the one that used to
be used for cell phones and the other slightly bigger one.
All 3 ends have the USB logo in the plastic.
Doesn't that mean it's both power and data?
If it were power only, it should not have the logo, right?
Yet when I plug one end into the computer and another end into a Harmony
remote control, I get no beeps from the computer. So that means the
cable is defective, right?
I've had it for years, but I guess I've never used it except for
charging things.
Just get a straight USB cable with the proper ends. When I used to go to
thrift shops, they had lots of them.
Bet you will like that remote. I love mine.
