Cradlepoint TAA-170665-000 Small 2x2 Power to Barrel Adapter, 152 mm

The Cradlepoint TAA-170665-000 solves a small but recurring headache in Cradlepoint deployments: the mismatch between the small 2x2 power connector on many Cradlepoint power supplies and equipment that expects a barrel jack. This 152 mm (roughly six-inch) adapter bridges the two, letting one power supply family serve a wider range of hardware. Organizations running mixed Cradlepoint fleets accumulate power supplies and routers across generations. Cradlepoint lists compatibility for this adapter across the IBR200 series, IBR1700, IBR900, IBR950, IBR600C, IBR650C, E300, R1900, and R500-PLTE—essentially the core of the modern router lineup. With a few of these adapters in the spares bin, a field tech can power a replacement router from whatever compatible supply is already at the site, rather than opening a ticket for the right cable and burning a second truck roll. The short 152 mm length keeps the adaptation tidy: enough slack to make the connection without adding a coil of excess cable to the enclosure. As a TAA part number, the adapter is Trade Agreements Act compliant, so federal, state, and other TAA-restricted purchases can include it without exceptions. It is an inexpensive line item that belongs in every install kit and spares drawer supporting Cradlepoint hardware—cheap insurance against connector mismatches discovered on site.
