Product Description
Official Raspberry Pi power delivery for USB-C powered SBCs used in CCTV edge/automation builds — NVR pre-processing units, VMS edge nodes, or Pi-based network infrastructure gear on a rack.
Key specs
- Output: 5.1V / 5A, 27W total
- PD modes: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.25A, 15V/1.8A
- Cable: 1.2m captive, 18 AWG, fixed USB-C connector
- AC input: 100–240V, 50/60Hz — usable across UK and EU mains without a separate step-down
- Plug: EU configuration (this listing)
The 27W rating raises the Raspberry Pi 5's downstream USB power budget to a nominal 1600mA, up from the 600mA default on lower-wattage supplies. That matters on install jobs where the Pi is powering USB storage, capture dongles, or network adapters alongside its own load — undersized supplies force the board back to the 600mA limit and peripherals brown out.
Protection circuitry covers overcurrent, overvoltage and short circuit conditions, per the manufacturer spec sheet referenced in this listing.
Compatibility note
Designed for Raspberry Pi 5 but usable with any USB-C PD device that accepts one of the listed voltage/current modes — relevant for techs standardising a parts kit across Pi-based and other USB-C-powered embedded boards on a job.
This is the black, EU-plug variant — confirm plug region before ordering for multi-site EU/UK deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this raise the USB port power budget on a Raspberry Pi 5?
Yes — the 27W supply increases the nominal downstream USB current limit to 1600mA, up from the 600mA default on lower-wattage supplies.
What PD voltage modes does it support besides 5.1V/5A?
5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.25A and 15V/1.8A are also available from this unit.
Can this power other USB-C devices, not just a Raspberry Pi 5?
It's compatible with other USB-C powered single-board computers and embedded systems that accept 5V high-current input, per the listing.
Is this the UK or EU plug variant?
This listing is the EU plug configuration, black colour.
