Hello, My receiver died and now I need to plug this fan into a USB. Do you have a USB adapter for this fan cable? Thanks!

Should be able to adapt...Although the specs (as displayed in the Product Description:Voltage: 5VDC , Current: 0.23A / 1.15W ) do differ from what is printed on the hub (look at the picture: 5.0V/0.1A/0.5W ), this is a Direct Current fan with an AC/DC adapter. You Should be able to get by with a 5VDC wallwart rated at 500mA (like the supplied unit), or go with a 5V/1A unit. Connector is an entirely different issue. For that I'd splice the new wallwart into the original cable. G'luck.

I originally used the AC receptacle in the back of the cable box. Since the fan plug / interface to USB are completely different, I might check with one of the bigger electronic stores, Radio Shack types. Also be aware of current needs: i.e. 120v versus anything else. I don't know what voltage comes out of USB (enough to run the fan???). Hope this helps.

The fan runs on 120v AC. I have it plugged into one of my switched outlets on the receiver. I do not think that a USB connection is possible.

The fan only needs to be plugged in to a USB to run at full speed. In order to use the USB plugs at the base of the fan you have to buy additional power adapter.

Thanks for the feedback. I've found that I can use other USB cables on other PC's even if they don't have the Creative Centrale software installed, so that's the good news. The Ac adaptors with the same kind of USB connector have not worked. So looks like I need to buy the zen Ac adaptor. It should at least allow me to listen and charge at the same time <grin>

i have the same problem. bought 3 fans less than a year ago and 2 failed in the last week. i will try and change the fuses but have put Amazon on alert just in case.

Sue, which adaptor cord do you need? The regular power supply or the cord that goes into a USB port? If its the usb port I think I have one that I do not need. Would be happy to send it to you for free.

It comes with a small cable (USB on one end and a tiny pin on other end) . You can plug the USB end to laptop to operate the fan.

You probably have two options. One is to see if there was a parts list included in the packaging. If so, you may be able to order a new one. And, sorry to say, the other option as a last resort would be to buy a new fan. I am going to assume though that there is a parts list. Good luck!

no. the plug that powers the fan connects to your USB port on your computer, but the fan itself doesnt have a usb port.

This fan is designed to be used inside a computer and therefore plugs into either a connector from the computer's power supply or perhaps directly onto the motherboard. You would not plug this into a USB outlet, and definitely not into house current.

No it cannot be plugged into a USB. Although you can order a plug with the fan to plug it into an additional power source.

I did look at replacing the fan with a quieter PC case fan. There isn't a connector, it's hardwired. And as mentioned, if you are good with a soldering iron then you should be able to solder a new one in. But is is definitly not plug and play, like you might see inside a computer case.

Technically you can't replace the fan. The fan is hardwired with the USB plug. That being said if you are good with rewiring the plug you could use a different fan.

Good question. Now I want to know, too. Seven minutes later - I resorted to reading the manual that came with the fan.If you no longer have it, try downloading it from Panasonic's website.

The fan should connect to a USB port in your computer, yep. i do not have a MAC, though, so I don't know if there is a difference....sorry!

Yes, it does come with a USB cable for the fan. So there is no need to purchase another one.

This fan has a USB connector and all USB is 5vdc. You can use most if not all phone adapters the only limitation would be if the adaptor was to small to handle the .18 amp load.

Sorry but beyond my skill set. I had a fan and simply wired this one where the old one had been. Wish I could help.
