USB-C PD Trigger Cable 5.5×2.5mm

This cable connects a USB-C Power Delivery or Quick Charge source to devices that use a 5.5 mm by 2.5 mm barrel jack. It handles the voltage negotiation and passes the negotiated power through to the load. The assembly supports up to 5 A of current and includes an E-Mark chip for high-current operation. Length is four feet.

Makers and repairers using 5.5×2.5 mm DC inputs

Suits anyone powering routers, LED strips, mini PCs or custom boards that accept a centre-positive 5.5×2.5 mm plug from a USB-C charger or power bank. Not for devices that require a different barrel size such as 5.5×2.1 mm or a locking connector. Also unsuitable if the USB-C source cannot supply the voltage the target device expects.

5 A E-Mark rating for high-current PD negotiation

The built-in E-Mark allows the cable to carry up to 5 A during PD 2.0, PD 3.0, QC 2.0, QC 3.0 and QC 4.0 negotiations. Without this rating the source would limit current to a lower level. This single specification determines whether the cable can deliver the full power your device draws.

Questions about this item

What USB-C charger or power bank do I need to power a device with this TRIGCAB-K cable?

You need a USB-C charger or power bank that supports PD 2.0 or 3.0 or QC 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0 and can deliver the voltage your device requires up to 28 V at 5 A.

Will this cable work with my older 5.5 × 2.1 mm barrel jack device?

No, the cable terminates in a 5.5 × 2.5 mm centre-positive barrel plug so it will not fit a 2.1 mm jack.

How can I confirm the cable is negotiating the correct voltage after I connect it?

Measure the output at the barrel plug with a multimeter; it should read the voltage your USB-C source has negotiated for your device.
