Description Show Reviews The adaptor allows the Raspberry Pi 4 to be used with a Pi USB-C power supply (or DC barrel jack) whilst allowing access to USB 2 OTG data over a separate USB-C connection (USB3 data is not connected/passed through).

To use the adaptor with the Raspberry Pi 4 you need. USB-C to USB-C cable[1] between Pi4 and the adaptor board (DATA/POWER) USB-C to USB Type-C or Type-A between adaptor board and PC (USB2 DATA) Power[2] via either Official Raspberry Pi USB Type-C Power Supply or Barrel jack (5v 2.4 Amp or higher PSU) [1] Whilst USB-C cables are generally designed for higher current I still advise using short power cable to the Pi where possible to reduce voltage drop. [2] PLEASE NOTE With the Pu/Pd resistors on this board it can only be used with 5V supply to power a 5V device. Using a Cluster HAT node image (p1/p2/p3/p4) you can plug the USB DATA into a computer (Raspberry Pi, Win10, etc.) and access the system via either USB Gadget Ethernet or Serial Console. Can also be used with Pi-KVM . An adaptor of this kind does not fall within the USB specification. It’s designed for use with the official Raspberry Pi USB-C power supply and raspberry pi, use with other power supplies/chargers and devices may cause issues/damage. 1 Review Hide Reviews Show Reviews 5 Perfect for supplying power to a Pi4 for a PIKVM project Posted by DAVID H on Jun 18th 2021 Jun 18th 2021 On a Pi4 or Pi zero you can use the USB power port as a USB device to a host computer. The Pi4 uses a USB-C connector, but draws too much power for the host computer to supply. This adapter will let you use a Pi power supply to supply power while connecting the data lines to the host pc and not drawing any power from it. I have 4 of these so far and they work perfectly with a Pi 4 and the official Pi 4 power supply.
