Overview
About the Lantronix USBC-AM-DC
The USBC-AM-DC (sometimes written USBC AM DC) is a single-purpose power accessory: a cable with a USB 2.0 male connector on one end and a barrel connector power plug on the other. Lantronix pairs it with the M/GE-PSW Series, a family of small Gigabit copper-to-fiber media converters, so the converter's barrel power input can be fed from a USB port on nearby equipment.
The compatible M/GE-PSW converters all have a 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 port for up to 100 m of copper. M/GE-PSW-SX-01 models use 1000Base-SX 850 nm multimode optics on SC, ST or LC connectors, reaching 220 m on 62.5/125 µm and 550 m on 50/125 µm fiber with a 7.0 dB link budget. M/GE-PSW-LX-01 uses 1000Base-LX 1310 nm single-mode optics on SC for 10 km, and M/GE-PSW-SFP-01 has an empty 100/1000Base-X SFP slot.
Lantronix publishes no separate datasheet or electrical rating for this cable; its product page lists only the description and the compatible converters. Before powering a converter from USB, confirm that model's power requirements in its own documentation, and choose the converter by fiber type: SX for multimode runs within a building, LX for single-mode links up to 10 km, or SFP for a module you select.
Key capabilities
- USB to barrel power
- One end is a USB 2.0 male connector and the other a barrel connector power plug, carrying power from a USB port to the converter.
- Matched to M/GE-PSW converters
- Lantronix lists the M/GE-PSW Series Gigabit mini media converters, in SX, LX and SFP versions, as the compatible products for this cable.
- Single part number
- USBC-AM-DC is the only part number in this listing, so there is no length or connector variant to choose between.
- Fewer power adapters
- Where a USB port is already available near the converter, the cable lets you power the converter from it rather than adding another outlet.

USBC-AM-DC FAQ
What does the Lantronix USBC-AM-DC cable connect?
It is a USB 2.0 cable with a male USB connector on one end and a barrel connector power plug on the other. Lantronix lists it as an accessory for the M/GE-PSW Series Gigabit mini media converters.
Which media converters work with the USBC-AM-DC?
Lantronix lists the M/GE-PSW Series as compatible: M/GE-PSW-SX-01 in SC, ST and LC versions, M/GE-PSW-LX-01 for single-mode fiber, and M/GE-PSW-SFP-01 with an empty 100/1000Base-X SFP slot.
Does the USBC-AM-DC carry Ethernet or USB data?
No. Lantronix describes it as a USB 2.0 male to barrel connector power plug cable. The barrel plug end is a power connector, so it supplies power to the converter rather than carrying network data.
