Five-Pack USB 2.0 Power Cables

This five-piece set converts a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port into a 5.5 mm by 2.1 mm DC barrel connector, delivering 5 V power to compatible peripherals. Each cable measures one metre and is rated for up to 2.5 A, making it suitable for small electronics such as portable hard drives. The male-to-male design plugs directly into a computer or hub without an extra wall adapter.

Plug-and-Play Installation

No drivers or software are required; simply insert the USB-A end into a host port and the barrel jack into the device. The centre pin carries positive voltage, so verify the polarity symbol on the equipment before connecting. Moulded strain relief protects the joint, but forcing the barrel into an undersized or oversized jack can damage the tip or cause intermittent contact.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The copper-core conductors maintain a steady 5 V supply during continuous operation, avoiding the voltage sag that can occur with thinner wires over a one-metre run. Under constant 2.5 A draw the cable and connectors remain within normal temperature limits, though prolonged maximum current may warm the moulded ends slightly. Performance stays consistent for typical mobile drives and low-power accessories.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering 5 V at up to 2.5 A after plugging it in?

Use a USB multimeter or a device that shows charging current; it should read 5 V and draw up to 2.5 A when the connected load demands it.

What comes in the pack and is anything else required?

The pack contains five 1 m USB 2.0 A male to 5.5 × 2.1 mm barrel cables; no extra parts are needed if your device accepts 5 V centre-positive power.

Which version should I choose for a 5.5 mm barrel jack with a 2.1 mm centre pin?

This cable matches a 5.5 mm outer diameter and 2.1 mm inner pin, so select it when your device specifies that exact barrel size.
