Power from any USB port

The StarTech USB2TYPEM cable draws 5 V DC from a standard USB-A socket and delivers it through a 5.5 mm Type M barrel jack. It lets you run routers, hubs, LED strips or development boards without a dedicated wall adapter. The three-foot length gives enough slack for desk or rack routing.

Cool and silent operation

With no active components the cable produces no heat and no noise during normal use. The PVC jacket and aluminum-mylar foil with braided shielding keep electrical interference low while staying flexible. Power draw is limited to whatever the host USB port can supply at 5 V.

Steady output under load

The conductors maintain a stable 5 V connection as long as the source port stays within its current rating. Voltage drop over the three-foot run is negligible for typical low-power devices. It is not suited for equipment that needs more current than a single USB-A port can provide.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB2TYPEM cable to my 5.5mm DC device?

Plug the USB Male end into a standard USB port and the DC Jack end into the device's 5.5mm barrel input; ensure the port supplies 5V DC.

What part of the USB2TYPEM cable wears out first with daily use?

The PVC casing and connectors endure regular handling; the 2-year limited warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship.

What limits the USB2TYPEM cable during continuous operation?

The cable delivers only the 5V DC current the host USB port can provide, so sustained loads are capped by that port's output.
