A simple PCB containing a USB-B socket and a 2.1mm x 5.5mm Power Socket. This can be used to build a GX-16 cable (of whatever length you want) or for use in other electronic projects where you want to extend the USB connector of a microcontroller and supply additional power.
For example, I use this board in a universal remote control for robotics when bench testing and developing code. Many of us have these 12v PSUs from other projects or devices sitting in a box somewhere. This is a useful way to make them earn their keep!
Note: Please make sure your plug is the 2.1mm type, not the 2.5mm.
