Portable USB DC Power Adapter

The Cables Unlimited ZIP-ADP-PW1 is a compact adapter that lets you power portable electronics from a standard USB Type-A port. It accepts a 3.5 x 1.35 mm DC barrel connector, making it suitable for travellers who need to run or charge compatible devices using a laptop or desktop USB socket.

Check Your Device Power Port

Before ordering, confirm that your device uses a 3.5 mm outer diameter and 1.35 mm inner diameter DC power jack. Verify the required voltage and current draw are within the limits of the USB port you plan to use, and ensure you have a USB A male to A female cable such as the ZipLinq ZIP-USB2-C02 if your device cable does not reach.

Replaces Bulky Mains Chargers

This adapter replaces a dedicated AC wall wart for supported gadgets, reducing luggage bulk when travelling. The upgrade is worth it when you primarily work near a computer or power bank and your device matches the 3.5 x 1.35 mm connector specification. It is not for devices with different barrel sizes, proprietary connectors, or power needs exceeding standard USB output.

Questions about this item

Does the package include a USB A male-to-female cable or only the 3.5 x 1.35 mm DC power plug adapter?

Only the DC power plug adapter is included. A USB A male-to-female cable such as the ZIP-USB2-C02 must be purchased separately to connect the adapter to a PC or Mac USB port.

How do I decide between the 3.5 x 1.35 mm tip and another size for my device?

Check the power input label on your device. If it specifies a 3.5 mm outer diameter and 1.35 mm inner diameter barrel connector, this adapter matches; otherwise a different tip size is required.

What does the 3.5 x 1.35 mm figure tell me about real-world use with a laptop USB port?

It defines the barrel plug dimensions that must fit your device's DC jack; the adapter itself draws power from a standard USB-A port, so output current is limited to what that port can supply.
