  • Built-in PD trigger negotiates 18 V–20 V output automatically

USB-C to DC laptop charging cable

This cable connects a USB-C power source to laptops that use a 5.5 mm barrel connector with either a 2.5 mm or 2.1 mm centre pin. A built-in PD trigger requests 18-20 V from the charger so the laptop receives the voltage it expects. It is intended for users who want to power a compatible laptop from a 65 W USB-C adapter instead of the original brick.

Thermals noise and power draw

The cable itself has no active cooling or fan, so it adds no audible noise and negligible heat during normal use. Power delivery is limited by the attached USB-C charger, which must supply at least 65 W and support the required voltage profile. No separate power supply or driver installation is needed for the cable to function.

Bundled accessories and software

Two interchangeable barrel tips are included, covering both 2.5 mm and 2.1 mm centre-pin sizes found on many laptops. No software, drivers or configuration utilities are supplied or required; the PD trigger operates automatically when a compatible charger is connected. The cable does not support 5 V output, so it cannot charge low-voltage devices.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Manw USB 3.1 Type-C to DC trigger cable to my laptop and charger?

Plug the USB-C female end into a 65 W USB-C charger, then insert the 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm or 5.5 mm × 2.1 mm DC male plug into the laptop's 18 V–20 V power port; the built-in PD emulator handles the handshake automatically.

What maintenance or replacement will the Manw USB 3.1 Type-C to DC trigger cable need over time?

Inspect the DC barrel tips and USB-C connector for bent pins or cable strain; replace the cable if the 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm or 2.1 mm plugs become loose or the PD trigger fails to negotiate 18 V–20 V.

What power limit appears first when using the Manw USB 3.1 Type-C to DC trigger cable continuously?

The cable only passes 18 V–20 V and requires a charger rated above the laptop's draw; the 65 W ceiling of the USB-C charger is the first hard limit during sustained charging.
