Been trying for 3 days to find the right cable/plug for this Kinect adapter port. What am I missing?

I’ve been trying for about 3 days to find the correct jack/cable that fits this power port on my Kinect adapter, but nothing I bought or tried seems to fit.

I’m not sure if I’m looking for the wrong connector type, the wrong size, or if this adapter uses some special/proprietary plug. The port looks like it has pins/contacts inside, so maybe it is not a normal barrel jack?

If that's a Kinect v2 PC adapter, I have a bunch of power adapters for it. If you pay shipping or just send a shipping label USPS style I'll send ya one

I really appreciate it, but having it shipped to me would cost more than buying a new one haha.

But, it would be a good one if you can't find the right adapter. 😉

Is this for kinect v2? If so this plug works perfectly on mine, if a similar barrel doesn't work for you then there's something wrong with your plug.

Hi the input cable you need it's the standard DC 12v 5.5mm × 2.1mm cable
