fireCable Plus Adapter for Firestick, Powers Amazon Fire TV Stick from TV USB Port, Eleminates AC Outlet Declutting Wires (See Fire Stick Comparison Chart)

The Fire Cable works with my “Amazon Fire TV 4K streaming device (newest model)” and Samsung 55-inch Class OLED 4K S90D TV. At first it did NOT work until I utilized the correct USB port.When I first set up the Fire Cable with the Fire TV stick it did NOT work and I received the message that others received that there was not enough power to the Fire TV stick and I need to utilize the included wall cord and plug. “Insufficient USB power detected. Use the included USB cable and Amazon power adapter for proper operation”. I did as instructed, plugging the Fire TV stick into the wall and removing the Fire Cable. I then proceeded to set-up the Fire TV stick with all my streaming services, WiFi, etc…I came back to Amazon ready to setup a return of the Fire Cable and purchase the following device “Made for Amazon, USB Power Cable (Eliminates the Need for AC Adapter) at 2.5x the cost. Well, I watched the first video review of this product listing and found out I did NOT need to make a return but rather utilize a different port on the back of my TV. Yippee!https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078KSHVCS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1I watched this video from “JUST A DAD” named “Amazon Fire TV Stick & USB Power Cable Adapter Review” and he explained that the cable purchased to do away with using the cord for the wall plug that you must have a certain amount of Volts (5.0 Volts = 1.0 Amp) for it to function.He explained that on the back of the TV there might be 2 different USB outputs as such 1x USB 5V = 500mA and 1x USB = 1 Amp which my Samsung does have. It appears I originally utilized the 1x USB 5V = 500mA port and this is why my Fire Cable did not function. I then redid the setup by plugging in the Fire Cable USB connector into the other USB port 1x USB 5V = 1 Amp and it worked beautifully.So before you return or discard the Fire Cable or any other adapter you might have purchased you should check to see which USB port you have plugged the Fire Cable into and if enough power is being supplied from the USB port to your Fire TV stick.Please see photo for my setup.Hope that helps some people with the similar situation as I had when I first setup the Fire Cable with my Amazon Fire Stick.

The fireCable plus adapter is a great product. I have all my TV's mounted and the problem was to find a way to hide the Firestick cable when added to a new TV. I found this by watching a video on how to add more storage to a firestick. Since I watched the video I have purchase 3 of these cable and the work great. I am getting power to the stick and I am able to hide the cable because it just connects to the USB port on the TV and the firestick. I will continue to purchase this product as needed. I even gave one of the cable to my brother.

I have 2 TV's using a FireStick. I had one that this cable would not work. It is an older TV and it told me there was not enough power coming from the USB port to support the FireStick.On my other TV it works however, each time I turn on the TV the firestick has to boot. It doesn't take more than about 45 seconds but it is a change versus AC power. For those that are plugged in, as soon as you turn on the TV they work. With this device, it must start over. Not a deal breaker just something you should know. This delay is the reason for the 4 stars. If not for that, I'd certainly give it a 5.

This is the second one I've bought, for another T.V. Eliminates power cord hanging from t.v.

This item did not do what it said it was supposed to do. So it's just sitting in a drawer.

Very convenient as it helps to get rid of the spider webs of wire from behind the TV. Easy to install - literal plug and play. If you have more than one USB ports try both as one did say insufficient power whilst the other no issue. Decent purchase.

Powers it up but the fire stick when turning on always says to switch power source

Don’t know why this was not thought of before. A very convenient way to get power to the Firestick. The cable is well made as well.
