USB Type-C Pigtail Cable Extension Power Cable 22AWG 5V 3A -(Type C Male)

Good construction and not reversed polarity like some of the other Amazon offerings. Be aware that this will require you not to use a “smart” power supply.

The raccoons kept hanging onto and breaking the solar charging cable on my Netvue camera bird feeder. I was able to repair the cable using these vs having to buy a complete cable/ solar panel assembly .

Great for powering devices from/to existing usb power ports.The wires are color coded, red and black, and are large enough to carry 3A. I use them on a 12V system, so I can get about 30W of power, if I need it.

I have an Ubiquity G3 Instant security camera, and it connects via WiFi, but it still needs power. I put together a Lithium battery with BMS and solar panel for recharging. This then put out the 5.2 volts that my camera was looking for. That is where this cable came in handy. It was a simple USB-C cable that only had two wires for power. This worked perfectly as I was able to solder it to my homemade battery and have it work.

I'm trying to power some 5v LED fairly lights and I thought these would be perfect using 5v power brick for phones but they don't supply any power. I tried little bricks that do PD, nothing. I also used a USBA adapter with an old dumb Apple brick and still nothing. These things are straight up trash.

These worked very well to run my Raspberry pi and display connected to a buck converter 12 to 5 volts DC

The connector is secure and holds a charger connector firmly. The pigtail wire is reasonably heavy gage, flexible, and easy to work with. I used it to power up a closet light that used 3 AAA batteries. A USB charger replaced the batteries and this pigtail made the conversion easy.

These do NOT work with a standard USB-C PD power supplies which will not supply any power unless the end USB-C device (this pigtail cable) indicates that it needs 5V from the power supply.After trying multiple power adapters and USB-C to USB-C cables, I still was not sure if the problem was the pigtail, so I decided to sacrifice one of the pigtails and see what was inside the connector shell. What I found is that the PCB behind the connector is missing the resistors necessary to signal the USB-C PD power supply that it should provide 5V. Pictures are attached showing a close-up of the PCB.These pigtails may work if a standard "dumb" USB-A power supply is used with a USB-A to USB-C cable because that should always supply 5V, but I have not tried that, and is not what I am interested in.The lack of standard USB-C PD compatibility is not mentioned anywhere in the listing details at the time of writing.

I purchased a few packs of these 2‑pin, 22AWG USB‑C bare wire cables for a project that required extending a Type‑C charging port. The cables are well-constructed, fit snugly into the USB‑C receptacle, and the 22AWG wires are definitely thick enough to handle up to 3 A from a purely electrical standpoint.However, keep in mind that these only have two conductors: VBUS (5 V) and Ground. They lack the Configuration Channel (CC) lines that a standard USB‑C device would use to negotiate higher current or voltage. In a typical USB environment, that means you’re likely limited to around 500–900 mA (USB 2.0 levels). If your project or device requires fast charging or USB Power Delivery, you’ll need a cable with at least four conductors (VBUS, GND, and two CC lines) or more to support data and higher power negotiation.These cables work great for simple 5 V charging or powering low‑draw devices.The “3 A” rating in the product description reflects the wire gauge capacity rather than a guarantee of 3 A in a standard USB‑C handshake.If you need actual high-current or fast-charge support, look for a USB‑C cable that includes the necessary CC and data lines.

I am using this to power a Raspberry PI 4.....works great
