FIND YOUR FIT
What are you connecting?
A laptop that needs power
Check the exact model, connector, voltage and power requirement. USB-C charging also needs compatible power support.
A screen, projector or TV
Identify the output on your computer and the input on the display. Check resolution, refresh rate and signal direction.
More devices at your desk
Count your ports and check the features you need from a hub. Video and charging support depend on the host device.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Check both ends before you order.
A few checks now make it easier to choose a product that suits your device and the way you use it.
01
Connector & direction
Identify the source and destination sockets. Some adapters convert in one direction only.
02
Power requirement
For a replacement charger, match the device’s supported input, connector and required power specification.
03
Signal & speed
Check the stated data rate, display mode and charging capability. Connector shape alone is not enough.
04
Length & fit
Measure the cable route and allow practical slack. Confirm physical clearance around adjacent ports.
Replace your charger with confidence
Use the laptop model and the original power specification to narrow the choice before ordering.
USEFUL ANSWERS
Cables & Power FAQs
Practical answers to help you narrow the choice. Always check the exact product and manufacturer specifications before ordering.
Do all USB-C cables do the same thing?
No. Cables with the same connector can support different data speeds, power levels and video capabilities. Check the stated capability of the cable and both connected devices.
Can I use any charger with the same plug?
No. Check the exact device model, connector and electrical requirements. For USB-C, verify the supported charging protocol and power profiles as well as the wattage.
Will an HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter work backwards?
Do not assume it will. Many converters are directional and may need extra power. Choose the product specified for your source device and display input.
Does a travel adapter convert voltage?
A plug adapter usually changes the physical plug connection only. Check the adapter and appliance ratings, local supply and whether a suitable voltage converter is actually required.
