This DC 3.5x1.35mm Male to Type-C Male Power Cable functions as a dedicated passive power link designed to connect legacy 5V DC barrel receptacles to modern USB-C interface hardware. It allows system integrators, DIY electronics hobbyists, and smart home installers to direct power from centralized 5V DC power distribution blocks, low-voltage power modules, or battery packs directly into compliant USB-C devices, helping reduce desk clutter and keeping cable setups neat and organized.
Connector Configuration: DC 3.5x1.35mm Male to USB Type-C Male
Wire Gauge: Standard 22AWG Pure Copper Conductors
Internal Layout: 2-Pin Configuration (Power Only)
Electrical Rating: Rated for 5V DC Only, 3A Max (Supports up to 15W power delivery under standard compliant loads)
Functional Mode: Passive operation without voltage alteration, fast-charging protocols, or data lines.
Q1: Can I use this cable to charge or power smartphones, tablets, or laptops?
A1: No. This cable is strictly NOT designed for smartphones, tablets, laptops, or high-power Power Delivery (PD) electronics. These mainstream consumer devices require smart handshake protocols, active CC data lines, or higher negotiated voltages (such as 9V/12V/15V/20V) to initiate charging. This passive 2-pin cable delivers standard 5V power only without any handshake protocol microchips, and will not be recognized by these host devices.
Q2: Does this power cord support data transfer, screen mirroring, or vehicle integration systems?
A2: No. This cord features a physical 2-pin internal layout engineered exclusively for power transmission. It does not contain data lines, meaning it operates completely without data synchronization, file transfer, video streaming, screen mirroring, or any digital communication capabilities between connected hardware.
Q3: What is the power flow direction of this cable, and can it support dual directions?
A3: This is a passive 2-pin cable without any internal chip, diode, or voltage regulator. It does not perform voltage conversion or protocol negotiation. Physically, electrical current will flow naturally from the higher voltage source to the lower voltage device across the copper link. However, users must always ensure your power source outputs exactly 5V DC and strictly matches your device's input requirements. Connecting mismatched voltages or relying on bidirectional power without verifying source/sink compatibility may result in hardware damage.
Q4: Can I connect this cable to a 9V or 12V DC power adapter?
A4: No. This is a passive adapter cable that operates without voltage conversion. It will pass the exact voltage of your power source straight through the copper conductors. Connecting this cable to a 9V, 12V, or any high-voltage DC source will deliver that high voltage directly to the other end, which can result in immediate hardware damage or burning out your equipment. Always verify that your power supply outputs exactly 5V DC before connection.
