Cable 2.1mm Male to USB-C 30cm
This Cable 2.1mm Male to USB-C 30cm lets you power a USB-C device such as the MELE mini PC from a 2.1mm DC output, providing a clean power solution for your telescope-mounted computer. Do not plug it into an output above 5V unless the connected device supports voltages above 5V.
Power Your MELE PC with USB-C at 30cm
Suitable for MELE mini PCs, this cable bridges the gap between a 2.1mm DC power output and the USB-C power input of the computer. The 30 cm length is intentionally short to eliminate cable drag and snags on a moving telescope mount.
Clean Cable Management for Your Telescope Rig
At just 1 ft long, this adapter is built for minimalist setups where cable management is critical. It replaces longer, coiled stock power bricks and cables, reducing the potential for snags during slewing and tracking. By connecting your MELE mini PC to a power hub or battery mounted directly on the optical tube, you create a more balanced and reliable imaging rig.

What is the primary use for this 30cm USB-C to 2.1mm cable?
This cable is designed to power a MELE mini PC through its USB-C input from a 2.1mm DC power output. Its 30 cm length is optimized for connecting the PC to a nearby power distribution hub or battery mounted on a telescope rig, minimizing cable clutter.
Will this cable work with any device that has a 2.1mm power port?
While the cable is physically compatible with any 2.1mm port, it is specified as "Suitable for MELE mini PC." You must ensure the 2.1mm output supplies a voltage your device supports: do not plug it into an output above 5V when powering devices that do not support voltages above 5V. This cable does not perform voltage conversion; it is a passive adapter.
Is the 30 cm length of this MELE PC cable long enough for most setups?
The 30 cm (1 ft) length is ideal for setups where the MELE mini PC and the power source (like a Pegasus Astro Powerbox) are mounted close together on the telescope itself. This short length is a feature designed to prevent cable snags. It is not intended for connecting to power sources on the ground.
Can I use this cable to power my MELE mini PC from a laptop's USB-C port?
No. This cable is designed to carry power from a 2.1mm DC output to the USB-C input of the device being powered, not from a laptop's USB-C port.
Why would I choose this 2.1mm to USB-C cable over the stock power supply for my MELE PC?
For astronomical imaging in the field, you are often running equipment from a central DC battery. This cable allows you to power your MELE PC from a 2.1mm DC output on a power distribution box, eliminating the need for an AC inverter and the bulky stock power adapter.
Does this cable regulate voltage for my MELE mini PC?
No, this is a passive cable. It simply passes through the voltage from the 2.1mm output. Do not plug it into an output above 5V when powering devices that do not support voltages above 5V. Using an incorrect voltage can damage your equipment.
