Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor AC Power Adapter

Description

Connect and power your Xbox 360 Kinect sensor on any Xbox 360 model — or use it on PC.

The Xbox 360 Kinect sensor requires both USB data connection and external 12V power to operate. On Xbox 360 Slim and Xbox 360 E models, the console has a dedicated Kinect port that handles both power and data simultaneously — no adapter needed. On original (fat) Xbox 360 consoles, this port does not exist, making this power adapter essential: it splits the Kinect’s proprietary connector into a USB data connection and a powered AC supply, enabling the Kinect to function on older hardware. The same adapter also allows the Kinect to be used with a PC for motion capture, game development, or accessibility applications.

What this adapter enables or fixes:

• Using an Xbox 360 Kinect on an original (fat) Xbox 360 console that lacks the dedicated Kinect port
• Replacing a lost or damaged original Kinect power adapter
• Connecting an Xbox 360 Kinect sensor to a Windows PC
• Restoring Kinect functionality after adapter cable failure or fraying
• Backup adapter for travel or second setup
