USB 2.0 to 5.5 mm barrel power cable

This StarTech.com cable lets you charge 5 V DC devices from a computer USB 2.0 port. One end fits a standard USB-A male plug while the other terminates in a Size M barrel connector with a 5.50 mm outer diameter and 2.10 mm inner diameter. Molded connectors and a braided shield add durability for daily use.

Ideal for powering small 5 V peripherals

Users who need a higher output voltage or a different barrel size should look elsewhere. The cable only delivers what a USB 2.0 port can supply, so devices requiring more current than the port provides will not operate correctly.

Plug both ends in and the connection is ready

No drivers or configuration are required. The most common issue is a loose fit when the device jack tolerances differ from the 2.10 mm pin, so verify the jack dimensions before relying on the link.

Questions about this item

Does my device need a 5.5 mm outer diameter and 2.10 mm inner diameter barrel jack to use this cable?

Yes, the barrel connector is sized at 5.50 mm outer diameter and 2.10 mm inner diameter, so your device must accept that exact Type M barrel plug.

Will this cable work with a USB 2.0 port on an older laptop or hub?

It plugs into any standard USB 2.0 Type-A port and draws 5 V DC power from it, so it works with legacy laptops and hubs that supply USB 2.0 power.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering power after I plug it in?

The connected device should power on or show its charging indicator, confirming that 5 V DC is flowing through the molded USB-A to barrel connection.
