Power cable CradlePoint 170665-000 — DC plug 5.5×2.1 mm to IEC Type A, black

CradlePoint 170665-000 is a replacement power cable that connects an IEC Type A mains lead to a DC barrel plug with a 5.5×2.1 mm tip, center-positive. It is designed to supply regulated DC power to compatible CradlePoint COR series routers and other networking devices that require a 2.1 mm inner diameter barrel connector. The cable provides a straightforward means to replace a lost or damaged adapter cable or to add an additional cable for installations and field service.

Advantages

The cable offers a standard IEC Type A input for easy connection to common mains leads and a reliable 5.5×2.1 mm DC barrel plug configured center-positive for consistent polarity. Its construction is intended for stable low-voltage DC delivery to networking equipment, and the form factor reduces the need for custom adapters. The cable’s compatibility with COR series products simplifies maintenance and replacement in both lab and deployment environments.

Suitable for

• Replacing a lost or damaged DC power cable for compatible CradlePoint devices
• Field service and on-site repairs of COR series routers
• Installation where an IEC Type A to 5.5×2.1 mm power connection is required
• Keeping a spare cable for network equipment redundancy

Key specifications

• DC plug size: 5.5 mm outer diameter × 2.1 mm inner diameter (barrel)
• Polarity: center positive
• AC connector type: IEC Type A (female inlet for mains lead)
• Intended use: low-voltage DC power delivery for networking devices
• Color: black

How to use

Connect an appropriate mains lead to the IEC Type A inlet of the cable, then insert the 5.5×2.1 mm DC barrel plug into the device’s power jack with the center-positive orientation. Ensure the power source and any inline power supply provide the correct voltage and current rated for the target CradlePoint device before applying power. Verify the connection is secure and observe the device indicators to confirm normal power-up.

Recommendations

Use this cable only with devices that accept a 5.5×2.1 mm center-positive barrel connector and with power supplies matching the device’s required voltage and current specifications. Inspect the cable periodically for damage, avoid sharp bends near the connectors, and replace the cable if insulation or contacts show wear.
