Can this be used to power a Raspberry Pi computer?

I really can't answer that question, maybe see how big the battery is in the computer and compare it with this unit? Can you charge your puter with a usb cord? if you can it would probably run it for a short time.

No, the Pi is powerful enough to power this. I've used this successfully in two Pis so far.

I would not buy this product. I was not able to get it to work with my raspberry pi. I followed the instructions on their webpage and came to the conclusion that their support was inadequate.

I don't think that would be a good idea.. It's always best go by manufacture recommended wiring and amplification. Exceeding the power input beyond its capacity on any electronics could cause things to quite literally fry.

If you have a extra power dongle from the power supply, you can use it. If not, you can purchase a Computer Molex 4 Pin Power Supply Y Splitter CableGeneric from Amazon

Wish I could help but I bought this adapter for a USB Hub. I wouldn't know about it powering much else. Best of luck in finding what you need.

It should work for you no problem. I use it with my Rasberry pi and have had no problems with the connections or use.

Sorry, never tried in that application. If you have the proper power adapters and connections then it should work just fine. Probably way to much power for your needs at 1 watt.

Yes, but it probably won't work right. This unit seems to need a bit more extra power than what is provided by the cable. Other ones have an external power source (like via and extra power only-USB cable) that make up for it. So, you might get lucky and have it work out of the box, or you can buy a slightly more expensive one with a power booster.

I just confirmed that the Plugable USB 2.0.4 will power an RPi unit directly. The RPi only draws 5W, so it's safe.

No, I doubt it. It would would need a different power supply. This power supply works off 110 volts.

No, it will only work with a computer and cannot be used as a hub for power.

Yes, you can use this for anything that requires a 12 volt input, just keep in mind you want to keep the load at or less than 75% of maximum. Although mine has been operating just fine powering my led controller and 150 watts of strip lights

I tried it with a 12v 2A adapter which was way too big. It not only broke the hub, but it also overloaded certain USB ports on my motherboard and it fried my LAN port and audio controller, so I probably wouldn't recommend it. If you're cautious and know what you're doing, I guess you could try it though.

Yes, and that was the main reason I bought this. I run my Pi, an external HD powered by this, and a WiFi dongle from the hub, have not had any power issues so far (over 6 months running).

Yes you can, I woiuld use this for a system which needs a lot of power. For example, your video card. some require a mimimun voltage, you can always have more and use less and not the other way around. I wll say this power supply after turning off your computer will still show the blue LEDs untill the unit has discarged, if that is not a problem for you then this unit will work.

Yes it can you simply need to use the switch on the back of the PSU to your native voltage and you might need A different power cord to plug into the back of it. :)
