Product description: OAK Y - USB Type-C Power and Data Adapter - for Luxonis OAK 2 Cameras
The OAK Y adapter is a specialized USB Type-C splitter designed for Luxonis OAK 2 cameras (not compatible with the OAK 4 series). It allows you to simultaneously connect a power source and transmit data through a single USB Type-C port. It is especially useful in situations where the host (e.g. a single-board computer) is unable to provide sufficient current to power the device. The adapter is used, among others, in work with Pro versions of OAK-D cameras , which are equipped with spot projectors and IR diodes, drawing up to 1 A of current . Thanks to this adapter, you will ensure stable operation of the camera even with limited power supply options.

Camera and USB cables are not included and must be purchased separately.
Main features of the adapter
- OAK 2 Compatibility: Designed for OAK 2 series cameras only (OAK 4 not supported)
- Dual-function connector: enables simultaneous charging and data transmission via USB Type-C
- High-drain device support: required when using OAK-D Pro cameras with IR LED and spot projector
- Perfect for Raspberry Pi: especially recommended when the camera is not the only device powered by the host
- Easy installation: intuitive connection via USB Type-C cables
Practical applications
The OAK Y adapter is ideal for projects using single board computers such as the Raspberry Pi, where available USB power may be limited. It is also a must-have for OAK-D Pro cameras, where power requirements increase due to additional components such as IR LEDs or spot projectors. Using the adapter helps avoid device instability, restarts or damage due to insufficient power.
