What this cable does

This 15 cm DC converter cable changes a 5.5 mm by 2.1 mm female jack into a 4.8 mm by 1.7 mm male plug with a centre pin. It lets you power a device that expects the smaller tip from an adapter fitted with the larger barrel connector. The cord is new and rated for 1 A.

Check your adapter and device

Verify that your power supply terminates in a 5.5 mm by 2.1 mm male tip so it can seat in the cable's female input. Confirm the equipment you are powering requires a 4.8 mm by 1.7 mm female socket with a centre pin. The converter only changes the tip geometry; it does not alter voltage or current.

Build and daily use

The 15 cm length keeps the join close to the device, reducing strain on both sockets. Both ends use moulded barrels that grip firmly without tools. The short run makes it practical for desktop equipment, routers or LED strips where a bulky adapter would otherwise block adjacent ports.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need any extra cables or tools?

The package contains only the 15 cm converter cable with a 5.5x2.1 mm female socket on one end and a 4.8x1.7 mm male pin plug on the other. No additional cables or tools are included.

How do I decide whether this 5.5x2.1 mm to 4.8x1.7 mm converter is the right one for my power supply?

Measure the tip of your existing AC adapter; it must be a 5.5 mm outer diameter by 2.1 mm inner diameter male plug with a centre pin, and the device you are powering must accept a 4.8 mm by 1.7 mm female jack with a centre pin.

What does the 15 cm length mean once the converter is plugged between my adapter and device?

The total cable adds 15 cm (5.9 inches) between the power brick and the device, so the adapter will sit roughly a hand-width closer to the socket than without the converter.
