User Manual
FAQ
What devices are compatible with this USB to barrel power cable?
This cable is designed for mobile devices that require 5V DC power through a Type H barrel connector. Compatibility depends on your device's specific power input requirements—always verify your device accepts 5V DC input and uses a Type H barrel connector before use. The cable is not suitable for devices requiring different voltages or connector types.
Can I use this cable with USB wall chargers or power banks?
Yes, this cable works with any standard USB power source, including USB wall chargers, power banks, and computer USB ports. As long as the USB source provides adequate power output (typically 5V), you can use it to charge or power your compatible 5V DC device. This flexibility makes it useful for travel, desk setups, or backup power scenarios.
What is the length of the cable and is it sufficient for typical use?
The cable measures 3 feet (0.91 meters) in length, which provides adequate reach for most desktop and workstation configurations. This length allows you to connect devices to USB ports on computers or chargers while maintaining some positioning flexibility. For longer distance requirements, you may need to consider alternative solutions or ensure your USB power source is positioned closer to your device.
Does this cable come with any warranty or environmental certifications?
Yes, the StarTech.com USB2TYPEH cable includes a lifetime limited warranty, covering manufacturing defects for the product's lifespan. It is also RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it contains no hazardous materials like lead, mercury, or cadmium. These features provide both long-term reliability assurance and environmentally responsible manufacturing credentials.
What type of USB connector does this cable use?
The cable features a standard 4-pin USB male connector on the USB end. This is the common rectangular USB Type-A connector found on most computers, chargers, and power banks. It does not use USB-C, micro-USB, or other USB variants, so ensure your power source has a matching USB Type-A female port for proper connection.
Can this cable replace my device's original power adapter?
This cable can serve as a replacement if your original adapter provided 5V DC power through a Type H barrel connector and you have an alternative USB power source. However, it does not replace AC adapters that convert AC to DC power—it only transmits DC power from a USB source. Always verify your device's voltage requirements match the cable's 5V DC output before using as a replacement.
