The Ultimate Power Supply Money Saver
It is incredibly frustrating when you have a perfectly good 12V or 5V power adapter, but the barrel plug is just a millimeter too big or too small for your new device. Instead of spending money on a brand-new charger and adding to electronic waste, the DC Power Adapter Converter Cable is your simple, plug-and-play solution. It takes the industry-standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm male plug and instantly converts it to one of five specific male tip sizes, ensuring your electronics get the power they need.
Flexible Pigtail Design for Port Protection
Why choose a short cable over a solid, one-piece plastic adapter? Solid adapters stick out rigidly from your device. If the cable gets bumped or pulled, that rigid leverage can easily snap the internal DC jack right off your motherboard. Our flexible pigtail design absorbs accidental tugs and bends, significantly reducing the mechanical strain on your expensive routers, monitors, and CCTV cameras.
💡 Pro Tip from Our Technicians
"A crucial rule of thumb: This adapter cable only changes the physical shape of the plug; it DOES NOT change the voltage. Before plugging your 5.5x2.1mm power adapter into your device using this converter, you must ensure the voltage (V) matches exactly. Plugging a 12V adapter into a 5V device will destroy it! If you are struggling to measure the exact millimeter size of your device's power port, don't guess. Bring your device down to our Sham Shui Po store. Our team at Sun Cheong Computer Co. Ltd. will use digital calipers to measure the port and find the exact adapter you need on the spot."

FAQ Section
FAQ Section
- Does this cable change the voltage of my power adapter?No. This is a passive physical adapter cable. It only changes the size and shape of the plug. It does not convert or regulate voltage. You must ensure that the output voltage of your power adapter matches the input voltage required by your device.
- How do I know which male DC tip size I need?DC barrel jacks are measured by their Outer Diameter (OD) and Inner Diameter (ID) in millimeters. You can use a digital caliper to measure your device's port. If you don't have a caliper, the safest option is to bring your device to our physical store in Hong Kong for a free test fit.
- Why should I use a pigtail cable instead of a solid plastic adapter plug?Solid plastic adapters create a long, rigid lever sticking out of your device. If the cable is accidentally yanked, that leverage can easily break the DC port off your device's motherboard. The flexible wire on this pigtail adapter absorbs the shock, keeping your device safe.
