- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2013Size Name: 3ft/1mStyle Name: Type HVerified PurchaseI have an Archos G9 10.1 inch 250Gb Tablet which has a dedicated power supply. I wanted a single USB charge I could use for all devices, so I needed a separate USB powers supply lead. Unfortunately Archos don’t seem to publish the specifications for the plug on the power lead. I bought 2 different leads to see if they would fit, then measured all the plugs (including the Archos supplied power supply) using a set of callipers at 3.4mm to 3.5mm in diameter. They both work fine and are capable of charging the table.
If you are interested the other lead can be found at this link:-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007TLQF0W/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Note the Archos power supply is capable of supplying 2A. Both these leads were capable of supplying this. However if you are buying a power supply for a high power tablet or phone, you must ensure both the power supply and lead are capable of supplying the necessary power. I have a number of old USB power supplies and they are not capable of charging the tablet even though the lead is.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2025Size Name: 6.6 ft/2 mStyle Name: Type MVerified PurchaseStar Tech state that this cable is compatible with the exact model of my Star Tech device. However, the barrel connector turned out to be the wrong size.
The cable itself is well constructed. Some voltage drop is to be expected when operating a 2m cable at 2 amps.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 August 2024Size Name: 3 ft/90 cmStyle Name: Type MVerified PurchaseBought this as a replacement MiniRig charger, it does work but sometimes the cable must be held in a certain position. Not the best quality, not the worst.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2023Size Name: 6.6 ft/2 mStyle Name: Type MVerified PurchaseUsed this to cut out the need for a power adapter plug for a 5v device I use regularly but don’t need plugged in all the time. It has worked well without any issues over the past few months, which is what a decent cable should do.

MardeeTReviewed in the United States on 7 July 20125.0 out of 5 stars Using this to power devices!!
Size Name: 3 ft/90 cmStyle Name: Type MVerified PurchaseI 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.
