Power cable for 5 V DC devices

This USB Type A to 5.5 mm barrel cable supplies 5 V DC power from any standard USB port to devices fitted with a Type N barrel jack. The 28 AWG conductors carry the current while the aluminium-mylar foil and braid shield reduce interference. Molded connectors with strain relief and a black PVC jacket protect the cable during daily use. Nickel-plated contacts maintain a reliable connection over repeated insertions.

Suits low-power 5 V hardware.

Makers, hobbyists and technicians powering development boards, portable drives, routers or audio modules that accept a 5.5 mm outer diameter and 2.5 mm inner diameter barrel plug will find this cable convenient. Devices that require more than 5 V, a different barrel size, a locking connector or a higher current rating than a typical USB port can deliver should use a dedicated power supply instead.

Connects directly to a USB port, no adapter needed

Plug the USB A end into a computer, hub or charger and the barrel end into the target device — no extra converters or cables are required. The single-cable design frees up a wall outlet and reduces desktop clutter while keeping the power path short. Ensure the host USB port can supply enough current for the connected load before relying on it for continuous operation.
