Universal USB-to-DC power cable with eight tips

This Netgear cable converts a standard USB-A port into a 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC barrel jack with centre-positive polarity. It measures one metre in length and includes eight interchangeable adapter tips covering sizes from 3.5 x 1.35 mm up to 6.3 x 3.0 mm. The assembly is rated for 5 V devices drawing up to 3 A.

Suits low-voltage peripherals.

Ideal for powering routers, USB hubs, IP cameras, LED strips, mini fans, Bluetooth speakers, and similar 5 V equipment that uses one of the supplied connector sizes. It cannot charge laptops or any device requiring more than 5 V, and it will not fit proprietary or barrel sizes outside the eight included tips.

Maximum current rating of 3 A at 5 V

The cable supports 5 V DC loads from 300 mA up to 3 A, covering common ratings such as 500 mA, 1 A, 1.5 A, 2 A, and 2.5 A. Verify that your device operates at exactly 5 V and does not exceed the 3 A limit before connecting.

Questions about this item

Does the cable need a separate USB power source, or does it draw power from the device it connects to?

The USB-A plug must connect to an external 5 V source such as a wall charger, power bank or powered hub that can supply up to 3 A. The cable itself does not generate power.

Will the included 5.5 x 2.5 mm adapter fit the barrel jack on my older router that originally shipped with a 5 V 2 A wall wart?

Yes, the 5.5 x 2.5 mm tip is one of the eight supplied adapters and the cable supports 5 V devices drawing 2 A or less, matching that router's requirement.

How can I confirm the polarity is correct before plugging the adapter into my security camera?

The cable uses centre-positive and outer-negative polarity; verify the camera's label shows the same symbol before connecting.
