Review: Good Product - This worked out great. Needed a longer plug for a digital clock. Would recommend. Review: Using this to power devices!! - I got this to work with a NewTrent Powerpack. This works with USB based chargers. I use this to actually power devices and gadgets also from the USB Charger. I have a Hak5 PineApple Mark IV, and this cable allows me to power it via a NewTrent IMP1000 Charger. Anything with a Type M barrel providing it uses low enough volts can be powered like this. Just how long is going to be based on the volts it requires, and what you do with it. The PineApple seems to require about 5 volts to run, and I can get about 1-2hrs use being mobile with a fully charged IMP1000. Now if I start to add items like a USB stick or 3G modem to the PineApple, then it greatly reduces my powering life. Overall the cable is made well, does what it should do, and opens the door for mobile powering and charging on devices that normally require an outlet for power. ## Features - DURABLE: 6.6ft (2.0m) USB-A to Type M (5.5mm outer diameter, 2.1mm inner diameter, center pin positive) coaxial barrel connector cable; This power cable can be used to power any M barrel device at 5V from a standard USB supplying up to 0.9A - COMPATIBILITY: Only works with M barrel connections measuring 5.5 OD by 2.1 ID with a positive center pin; The connected device must use 5V, and a max current of 0.9A; Current supplied is determined by the USB port this cable is plugged into - DURABLE: This type-M coaxial power barrel connector (fully molded) with durable PVC jacket for high strength and reliability; Flexible PVC strain relief prevents fraying/damage due to repetitive bending or rough usage - SPECS: Length: 6.6ft (2.0m); USB-A; Type M coaxial power (Barrel Power Connector OD:5.50, ID: 2.10); Jacket: PVC; Outer Diam (OD): 4.5mm; 5V at up to 0.9A supplied by a USB port; Aluminum-mylar foil with braided shielding ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009C3CJG4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,394 in USB Cables | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Brand Name | StarTech.com | | Cable Type | USB | | Color | Black | | Compatible Amazon Tablet Models | Amazon Fire 5th Generation, Amazon Fire 7 5th Generation, Amazon Fire 7 7th Generation, Amazon Fire 7 9th Generation, Amazon Fire HD 10 5th Generation, Amazon Fire HD 7 4th Generation, Amazon Fire HD 8 5th Generation, Amazon Fire HD 8 6th Generation, Amazon Fire HD 8 7th Generation, Amazon Fire HD 8 8th Generation, Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 4th Generation, Amazon Kindle Fire 1st Generation, Amazon Kindl… | | Compatible Devices | Music Player | | Compatible Phone Models | Likely compatible with smartphones, specific models not listed | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Male | | Connector Type | Barrel Connector | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,027 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 Gigabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030848374 | | Included Components | 1 - 2 m USB to Type M Barrel 5V DC Power Cable | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Item Length | 2 Meters | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 0.05 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Maximum Current | 2.4 Amps | | Maximum Voltage | 5 Volts (DC) | | Model | USB2TYPEM2M | | Model Name | USB2TYPEM2M | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 2 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Lightweight | | Outer Material | Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) | | Part Number | USB2TYPEM2M | | Recommended Uses For Product | Powering or charging 5V DC devices with a Type M (OD: 5.5mm, ID:2.1mm) barrel power connector through USB port on laptop desktop computer | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | UPC | 065030848374 | | Unit Count | 6.0 Feet | | Warranty Description | Lifetime warranty | | Wattage | 4.5 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech.com - **Cable Type:** USB - **Compatible Devices:** Music Player - **Connector Type:** Barrel Connector - **Special Feature:** Lightweight ## Images ![2m USB to Type M Barrel Cable - USB to 5.5mm 5V DC Cable - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DXRCv6EqL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Product *by R***0 on January 12, 2026* This worked out great.

It still worked, just be careful not to touch the cord after plugging in because it will become dislodged. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 2m USB to Type M Barrel Cable - USB to 5.5mm 5V DC Cable - USB to Barrel Jack 5V DC Plug (USB2TYPEM2M) Black - OREI 4K 1 in 2 Out HDMI Splitter Duplicate/Mirror Only UltraHD 4K @ 30 Hz 1x2 WILL NOT BYPASS HDCP HDMI Supports 3D Full HD 1080P for Xbox, PS4 PS3 Fire Stick Blu Ray Apple TV HDTV - Adapter Included --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1434896-2m-usb-to-type-m-barrel-cable-usb-to-5](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1434896-2m-usb-to-type-m-barrel-cable-usb-to-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
