USB 2.0 A Male to DC 5.5 x 2.1mm Male Power Cable

This one-metre cable converts a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port into a 5.5 mm by 2.1 mm barrel connector with positive centre pin. It supplies 5 V DC power to compatible external drives, routers or other peripherals directly from a laptop, desktop or USB power bank. The male-to-male construction uses copper conductors rated for USB 2.0 data speeds of 480 megabits per second. It is intended for users who want to leave a bulky wall adapter behind.

Replaces a dedicated 5 V wall adapter

The cable removes the need for a separate mains brick when a free USB 2.0 port can deliver sufficient current for the target device. It is worth adopting when the device draws within the port’s available power budget and the 5.5 mm by 2.1 mm barrel jack matches exactly. It does not suit devices requiring higher voltages, larger barrel sizes or more current than a USB 2.0 port can provide.

Fits into a mobile or desktop power chain

Plug the Type-A end into any USB 2.0 port on a computer, hub or power bank and the barrel end into the device’s DC input. The one-metre length gives modest reach for desk or travel use without excess slack. It frees up a mains socket and reduces cable clutter for 5 V peripherals. Builders needing longer runs, locking connectors or higher-voltage delivery must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel plug fit my device's power jack?

The plug has a 5.5 mm outer diameter and a 2.1 mm inner diameter with a positive centre pin; match those exact dimensions to your device's input.

What is the correct way to connect this cable without damaging the port?

Insert the USB Type A male end into a standard USB 2.0 port first, then attach the 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel plug to the device; reversing the order can stress the jack.

How long before the copper conductors or connectors need replacement?

The 1.00 m copper cable is rated for USB 2.0 480 megabits_per_second data speeds and 5 V power delivery; replace if the barrel plug becomes loose or the USB hood cracks.
