Dangerous article! Best in Computer Components

I changed the review because I found that the connector can be easily disassembled revealing two electrodes still connected to the wall. EXTREMELY dangerous, especially for children and pets. This is a waiting fire and the item should not be sold in the United States!

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

[Update] [NOT] Great PSUs for SBC

I love UCTRONICS for RPi accessories. These USB-C power supplies are of very high quality and will work great for almost any single board computer. This is not my first product from them and they never disappoint. Update: One of the cables blew within an hour.

Pros
  • Legitimate
Cons
  • Legacy Model

Works with Pi but not other USB-C devices

So I was looking for a USB-C power button for a non-Pi device. Here's what I found out after some wiring and digging. In short, this cable works for the Pi but is not compatible with other USB-C devices that use USB Power Deliver (PD). Longer story: The Raspberry Pi accepts "dumb power" with just two pairs of wires connected to the USB 2.0 power lines. With USB PD, you need to connect the CC lines to allow the charger and the device to negotiate the power contract. The absence of CC lines means

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Contact seller

Works Electronics

This may seem like a minor issue, but in the listing picture the adapter cable that came with the white power supply was also white. The adapter cable that came with my white power supply was black. However, the adapter's black cable isn't world-crunching, it serves its purpose, and that's the most important thing.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Not the best

For me doubtful.

I'm using this on my Raspberry Pi 3b with a 3.5 inch screen. The photo shows that it reports an undervoltage error. 3 amps would probably be enough, but it's not. I have a larger 3A 5 volt power supply and it works great. I would not recommend this product.

Pros
  • I'm crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Not trendy

Doesn't work in single board computers

I bought this to use with xfinity flex which is usb c powered and I need to reset it regularly so I installed it behind my TV. This switch doesn't work to turn the box off, so I tried it on a phone cord and it doesn't work there either. I don't know if they use different power connectors or if the switch I have was defective.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Easily serviceable

Not exactly what I ordered

I ordered white, received a white stone that doesn't quite match the picture and a black USB-C cable. Bought for Raspberry Pi 400. Plugged in and it seems to have enough amps to avoid lightning. Haven't loaded it yet to be safe.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • There are nuances

Doesn't work - single-board computer

I bought this to use on the xfinity flex which is USB C powered and I need to reset it regularly and I have it installed behind my TV.

I don't know if they use different power connectors or if the switch I have was defective.

Pros
  • Power PRi 4 Perfect: Supply your Raspberry Pi 4 with enough power, never complain about a lack of power again.
Cons
  • I will be silent

Not suitable for charging raspberry pi or phones or anything else.

I wanted to use it as a switch for raspberry pi connected to USB-C power bank battery. Everything works when I use the USB-C cable, but when I connect this cable there is no power. So this cable will not work with Rpi. When I tried plugging it into my phone charger to see if it worked at all, the phone showed a message saying the cable connection was bad.

Pros
  • CE authentication, better protect your powered device. Search ASIN B08C9VYLLK for Black, search ASIN B08C7HZ97L and B08C74XVBS for USB-C Switched Extension Cable.
Cons
  • Low maintainability
