Connects a USB port to 5.5 × 2.1 mm barrel devices for 5 V DC power
- Powers 5 V devices from any USB port
- Fits 5.5 × 2.1 mm barrel jacks exactly
- Ready to use straight from the box
- Compact cable keeps setups tidy
USB-to-barrel power adapter
This cable converts a standard USB port into a 5.5 mm by 2.1 mm barrel connector delivering 5 V DC power. It suits devices such as routers, hubs, LED strips or development boards that accept this specific jack size. The plug polarity follows the common centre-positive arrangement. Builders needing a different barrel diameter or voltage should look elsewhere.
International mains compatibility
The cord terminates in a USB-A plug so it can draw power from any USB charger, power bank or computer port worldwide. No separate AC adapter is required, reducing travel bulk for digital-nomad setups. Users whose gear demands more than 5 V or a locking connector will need a different solution.

Questions about this item
Will the 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel connector wear out and need replacement?
The barrel plug is a passive metal connector rated for thousands of insertion cycles; under normal use it rarely fails and does not have a scheduled replacement interval.
What limits continuous operation of the cable when drawing 5 V DC?
The USB source’s current limit and the thin wire gauge inside the cable are the first constraints; sustained loads near the port’s maximum will cause voltage drop and heat.
