## Description

The Hydra is a handy USB power breakout cable for powering maker projects from a USB power supply or computer. It brings out the USB 5V and GND lines so you can connect them to common project power inputs without building a one-off cable yourself.At the output end, the cable breaks power out to three connector styles: a barrel plug, JST connector and alligator clips. The alligator clips are shrouded to help avoid accidental shorts, and the barrel plug is centre positive.The cable is 6 feet long overall, giving you room to work on the bench. Keep in mind that USB power has limits; most USB hosts will only provide between 100 and 500mA at 5VDC.Features:Breaks USB 5V and GND out to three common power connectorsIncludes barrel plug, JST and alligator clipsShrouded alligator clips help avoid shortsCentre-positive barrel plug6' LongColor: BlackSpecifications:Dimensions: 6' LongLength: 6' LongColor: BlackUSB host power: Most USB hosts will only provide between 100 and 500mA at 5VDCUseful for quick prototyping, bench testing and powering small 5V electronics projects from an available USB port or USB power supply.
