The picture looks like the other end of this Pogo connector is USB. Is this the only place to draw power from? No AC Adapter included?

Who doesn't have half a dozen ac/usb adapters lying around already? I'm glad to not have to pay for another one.

Yes it is a USB but I just connect it to the charger that came with my Nexus 10. There is no AC adapter included.

Yes, the other end is USB. No AC adapter included. I use it with USB charger that came with N10.

The device says no plugging in anymore. So why would you use an ad adaptor?

I use the adaptor that came with the Nexus 10. The cable is faster than the mini USB, and it keeps that port from wear and tear.

Yes, of course, the power adapter has a built-in cable to carry the electricity from the wall outlet to the hard drive inside the enclosure, if that's what you're asking. However, there is no serial cable, only a USB cable, so you will need to have an open (available) USB port on the back (or front) of your tower into which to plug the USB cable. A converter plug (to adapt a USB connector to a serial port) is probably manufactured by some company, but one isn't included in the package with the external enclosure. I hope that answers your questions well enough.

As pictured, USB only, no adapter supplied, and there is no connector for external power.

The external power adapter is simply a mini USB cable connected to a computer or USB wall charger. You can find them on Amazon for under $4, and available at any electronics retailer. Make sure you get a mini USB cable (not micro-USB). The enclosure is tough but it is not weatherproof. You could use it outside as long as it doesn't get wet.

The device operates on AA battery power but is supposed to draw power from a USB port that connects it to the PC. If an AC adapter is needed, I would look for a 3V universal adapter at Home Depot, Radio Shack, or Frye Electronics: take the unit in with you but save time by calling them over the phone ahead of going there..

It comes with a USB cable, but it doesn't come with an AC adapter. I use the same one that I use for my cell phone. If you don't have one, USB adapters are easily purchased. It seems to run on a charge for a longer time than expected. Hope it works for you.

The USB Port is to plug to the power adapter to get enough power to support HDMI function. It's not for charging, because the mobile phone could not support enough power to HDMI, need outside power to support it.

No it came with the old 30 pin adapter. No to AC adapter. But came with several other pin adapters. It can be charged off a computer USB port. I just picked up inexpensive USB wall adapter for it. It charges perfectly fine from it.

I don't know if the product has changed since other people got it, but I just purchased and installed it, and it definitely does have the Pogo connector. I use my tablet as an alarm clock in the OEM dock, and this would have been useless to me without it. Popped it in the dock after my screen replacement, and it works perfectly.

from what I understand, it now includes a USB cable to power the device, previous versions included a power adapter. I wish there are more details on what else has been upgraded. (if there are other stuff that is)

It has a separate power supply, unfortunately it is not USB-powered.Hope this helps & enjoy.

I only charged it by USB and Solar. I don't remember having an AC adapter for it.

No, just the usb cord. But between my phone charger and my generic usb adapter I don't have a problem charging it. I found ghe generic adapter at walmart for a couple of bucks, it has two usb ports and plugs directly into the wall. On a side note, I'm only now having to recharge my keyboard, if it lasts this long again I'm going to be even happier with my purchase!

You mean without the external cord, that plugs it into wall outlet? Well, new ones are sold with that cable. So try searching used ones, if you absolutely don't want to have that cable included. But may I ask why? what the harm in having it? Do you mean that you later want to have it plugged into a different type outlet, like European? If so - then just buy a European type socket cord and have two of them. If you mean the cables that you use to connect your motherboard to this power unit - pretty much the same applies as with the above cable. Try looking for used ones. But again why? Do you already have your own cables and don't want to pay extra? Or you have the ones that you like and don't want to have extra ones that you don't need? Anyways, the point is that usually these are sold with all the cables necessary to use it out of the box. Meaning that you don't need to buy anything extra to make it work. I didn't seem see an option to not include these cables in the package. Thanks. Alex.

do not know. realize that the USB is standard. but the other end is very specifc to a battery power cord connection. example: this other end connects to a batty tinder/trickle charge and therefore i needed a special adapter to give my smart phone 12v power while on my motorcycle! probably not what you need.

The item I purchased is strictly DC and did not come with any AC adapters or plugs. I still have one in the package and just looked at it, there is nothing AC in the box.

There are one cable USB to an -Mini USB ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#MINI ) in the packet. Its Powered by the USB, no need for extra power.
