Power Adaptation for Low-Power USB-C Devices

This Netgear Ma-85 cable converts a DC 5.5mm x 2.1mm female input into a USB-C male output for charging compatible equipment. It supports 5V power delivery up to 3A for items such as LED desk lamps, small fans and similar low-power accessories. The pack contains two 6-inch cords ready for immediate use.

Thermals, Noise and Power Draw

Passive copper conductors carry current without active cooling, so the cables add no audible noise or measurable heat to a setup. The 22AWG pure copper cores keep resistance low for stable 5V transmission at the rated 3A limit. No external power supply is required beyond the DC source already in use.

Build Integration and Clearance

Each cord measures 15mm in length, making it a compact bridge between an existing DC jack and a USB-C port on the target device. The lightweight 10g design adds negligible strain to ports and fits easily in a laptop bag or toolkit. Data lines are not connected, so the adapter serves power-only applications.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the DC 5.5mm x 2.1mm female end to my power source and the USB-C male end to my device?

Plug the DC 5.5mm x 2.1mm female connector onto the male barrel jack of your 5V DC power supply, then insert the USB-C male plug into the device's USB-C port. The cable only delivers power; data lines are not connected.

Will the 22AWG pure copper conductors or PVC jacket degrade and require replacement over time?

The 22AWG pure copper conductors and PVC jacket are built for stable current delivery. Under normal 5V 3A use they do not have a scheduled replacement interval; inspect occasionally for physical damage or connector wear.

What happens if my device tries to draw more than the rated 3A at 5V?

The cable is specified for a maximum of 3A at 5V. Exceeding that limit can cause voltage drop, overheating of the 22AWG wires, or trigger the power supply's protection circuit.
