What this cable does

This short converter cable changes a 5.5x2.1mm female DC jack into a 2.5x0.7mm male tip so a power supply with the larger barrel can feed a device that needs the smaller one. It is built for anyone who has a spare 5.5x2.1mm adapter and a laptop, router or monitor that accepts a 2.5x0.7mm plug.

Practical limits of the connection

The cable is 15cm long and carries whatever voltage and current the source adapter provides; it adds no regulation or protection of its own. Mismatched voltage or excessive current draw will pass straight through, so the user must confirm that the power supply output matches the device requirements before connecting.

Build and daily use

Moulded strain reliefs cover both the 5.5x2.1mm female socket and the 2.5x0.7mm male tip to resist bending at the solder joints. The short length keeps cable clutter low on a desk or behind equipment, though it offers no slack for distant sockets. The connector marked 3.0x1.1mm on one specification line appears to be a documentation error; the functional output is the stated 2.5x0.7mm male tip.
