Adafruit USB Cable with Switch

Add a power switch effortlessly to any USB-powered project by inserting this between the USB power port and the USB cable. This simple yet highly practical tool is one you’ll find indispensable for your electronics.

Featuring a USB A socket on one end and a USB A plug on the other, this device seamlessly incorporates an in-line switch rated for 2 Amps. Please note, the data lines are not connected—focus remains solely on ground/5V power on the positive line. Efficiently manage your power flow without interrupting data transmission.

Whether used with USB wall adapters or battery packs, it's an ideal solution for integrating a 'hard power switch' in devices like a Raspberry Pi. However, for devices dependent on data lines to set charge rates, functionality may vary.
