Mission USB Power Cable for Amazon Fire TV (Eliminates the Need for AC Adapter)

Product Information

USB 2.0 voltage from the host port is always 5v if it’s working correctly, regardless if the device connected uses 10mA or 500mA. The voltage will never increase beyond 5V unless there has been a circuit failure or it was improperly designed. As Elias correctly stated, USB 2.0 is specified to provide at least 500mA, many host devices will provide more. Now, when someone connects a USB peripheral that requires more current than the host port can provide, it can be handled in different ways. A well designed host port will just shutdown and stay shutdown until it detects the condition has been resolved. If it’s not as well designed, the port will put out what current it can, but the external device may see a voltage sag and definitely will not get the full current it needs. Depending on the external device, this can cause erratic and potentially damaging behavior, or the device may sense the condition and shut itself down. Compatible with most devices with micro-USB connectors (smartphones, tablets, E-readers, games consoles and more) Boats by their very nature require improvising and out of the box thinking, and in this case it doesn’t require much.

Short answer is no, you won’t know unless you use test equipment, other than see flaky behavior. I have suitable equipment for testing USB voltage and current, but going into details is beyond the scope of of this thread. Ron: Indeed, sometimes outlet location can be problematic. My bedroom TV is just barely too far from the wall outlet to plug it directly in, so after consulting Zeric on this very forum, I learned I could use a good quality extension cord to make up the shortage. It works just great! I never even tried using the USB on the TV – especially after reading all of the quirky results contained herein. Also, a good quality power strip will function in the same way if you are able to plug it in. If not, your motor home situation, I would guess, makes your current set-up inevitable unless moving the TV is practical. My guess is it isn’t. Best wishes My Samsung’s USB ports power output capabilities are clearly listed. One at 0.5a and the other clearly says “HDD 5v 1.0a”. It’s from 2012 and far from top of the line even then. Mission USB Power Cable includes special power management circuitry that enhances the peak power capability of the USB port by storing excess energy and then releasing it as needed. The streaming speed and quality are exceptional. No more endless buffering or lagging—watching content is smooth and uninterrupted, even in high definition.Without going in the details of how a switching power supply works, voltage drop for various gauged cable over a given distance and current, etc. Just know this: I’m looking for a USB-OTG Split cable that would also do Power Delivery but is quite hard to know if the cable would actually meet the requirements as there are a few around that have comments complaining that they throttle the power delivery and their devices (like tablets) don’t charge properly. A. No, the cable is designed to always have sufficient power, even after many hours of continuous use.

Less clutter, more control—Alexa Voice Remote lets you use your voice to search and launch programmes from across different apps. You can also control power and volume on your compatible TV and soundbar without needing another remote. Reducing CO2 products reduce their carbon footprint year after year. Certified by the Carbon Trust. But I agree it’s very curious why so many refuse to use the provided power adapter. Their TV requires use of a wall outlet so there must be one close by.Michael is not quite correct in his explanation USB and power design considerations, an area I have some expertise in as an EE. There is a reason that HDTVs USB were never designed for a Fire TV or other streaming devices. The engineer selecting the USB chip can choose a current limit or voltage limit. All the information is based on the technical FACTS instead of uneducated, best guesses based on any personal preferences or limited experience. Our ranking system The TopChoice.co.uk Team selects top-of-the-line items from a wide selection and conducts rigorous evaluations on almost all the products available on the internet. We rank each product based on how well it matches our criteria. I’ve been using this for about 6 months now and I absolutely love it!! I am not super tech savvy so this is so nice to be able to just plug in and it works like it’s supposed to.
