USB-A cable with integrated boost converter that steps up USB 5V to 9VDC on a center-positive 2.1mm barrel jack. Useful for powering 9V devices from a USB port or power bank.
USB plug input; Adafruit states the booster cable is powered from a USB port or USB battery pack and measurements use a steady 5V input supply.
2.1mm centre-positive DC barrel output for powering 9V devices; Adafruit states the cable powers centre-positive 2.1mm DC barrel jack devices.
Return/ground for the 2.1mm DC barrel output, paired with the centre-positive barrel plug.
