Shenzhen Shenzhong TECH. CO. LTD. USB 2.0 A Male to Right Angled 5.5 x 2.1mm DC 5V Barrel Cable 100 cm

SKU CH-5DAR-436K8

Connects a USB 2.0 port to a 5.5 × 2.1 mm barrel jack with a 90 degree right-angled plug and 100 cm length

  • Connection typeUSB A to USB B
  • Right-angle barrel plug fits tight spaces
  • USB 2.0 Type-A male supplies 5 V DC power
  • 5 × 2.1 mm barrel jack matches common device ports
  • 100 cm cable length gives flexible placement
  • Powers small electronics directly from any USB port

Purpose and fit

This cable connects a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port to devices that accept a 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel jack for 5 V DC power. It is intended for small electronics such as routers, hubs, LED strips or development boards that draw power from a USB charger or power bank.

Thermals noise power

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no active components, so it generates no audible noise and adds negligible heat during normal operation. Power delivery is limited by the USB 2.0 specification and the 5 V barrel connector rating.

Accessory impact

The 90 degree right-angled barrel plug reduces strain on the device jack and fits tight spaces where a straight connector would foul adjacent ports or enclosures. The 100 cm length gives flexibility for desk or rack routing without excess slack.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the right-angled 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel plug without stressing the jack?

Insert the USB 2.0 A male end into a 5 V USB port, then align the 90 degree right-angled barrel tip with the device's 5.5 mm jack and push straight in; the right angle lets the cable run parallel to the chassis so the connector does not lever out.

What wear should I watch for on the 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel connector after months of use?

Check the centre pin and outer sleeve for looseness or oxidisation; if the plug wiggles or power cuts intermittently, replace the cable because the barrel jack interface wears before the USB 2.0 A end.

At what point does voltage drop become noticeable on the 100 cm run under continuous load?

The 100 cm length keeps resistance low, so a 5 V USB source stays within spec for typical 5.5 mm barrel devices; sustained loads near the port's current limit will show the first drop at the barrel plug contact, not along the cable.
