Astro Devices Nexus DSC & Nexus-II USB Charging Cable

Product Overview

The Astro Devices USB Charging Cable connects a Nexus DSC or Nexus-II to a standard USB power adapter for charging the unit. It terminates in a USB Type-A plug on one end and a 2.1 mm DC barrel connector on the other, matching the charging input used on Astro Devices Nexus controllers. The cable measures 500 mm (20") and weighs 30 g.

Who It's For

This cable fits the Nexus DSC, Nexus DSC Pro, and Nexus-II. It serves as a replacement or spare charging lead for owners of those units who want a second cable for a travel bag, an observatory, or a home charging station.

Key Features & Design

• Connector configuration: USB Type-A to 2.1 mm DC barrel, sized for the Nexus charging input.
• Length: 500 mm (20"), which keeps a tidy charging setup on a desk or bench.
• Standard USB source: draws power from any standard USB power adapter, so no proprietary charger is required.
• Lightweight: 30 g, easy to pack alongside the unit.

Recommended Uses

This cable recharges a Nexus DSC or Nexus-II from a USB wall adapter, a powered USB hub, or a portable USB battery between sessions. Keeping a spare on hand means a charging lead is always where the unit is stored or used.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

The cable mates with the 2.1 mm DC charging port on the Nexus DSC, Nexus DSC Pro, and Nexus-II. The USB end plugs into any standard USB Type-A power source. It carries charging power to the unit and is intended for charging rather than data transfer.
