Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I power two devices at the same time?
A: Yes, provided the power supply can handle the combined current draw of both devices and each device uses the same required voltage and polarity.
Q: What connector size does this use?
A: All three connectors use 2.1mm inner diameter x 5.5mm outer diameter DC barrel connections.
Q: Does this splitter change voltage?
A: No. It is a passive splitter. It passes the source voltage through to both outputs and does not regulate voltage.
Q: How long is the cable?
A: The cable is approximately 3 inches long and uses 18 AWG copper wiring.
