## Overview

Y-adapter is used to supply power to OAK cameras through USB-C connector. Note that in most cases, host computer is able to
provide enough current (>1A) and you don't need a Y-adapter. Y-adapter is only needed in cases where host is not able to provide
enough current:

 * For Pro versions ([OAK-D Pro](hw-catalog://OAK-D Pro), [OAK-D Pro PoE](hw-catalog://OAK-D Pro PoE)), where IR LED and dot
   projector can draw up to 1A alone
 * In case you are using small SBC like [Raspberry Pi](https://docs.luxonis.com/hardware/platform/deploy/to-rpi.md), and OAK
   camera isn't the only USB device that's drawing power

Some older versions of OAK cameras ([OAK-D](hw-catalog://OAK-D), [OAK-FFC 4P](hw-catalog://OAK-FFC 4P), [OAK-D
CM4](hw-catalog://OAK-D CM4)) have power barrel jack for supplying power (instead of the Y-adapter), while newer OAK USB cameras
only have USB-C connector - which is why we developed the Y-adapter.

## Getting started

1. Connect host computer to the Y-adapter's USB-C data port via USB-C cable
 2. Connect 5V voltage (eg. standard USB wall charger) to the Y-adapter's USB-C power port via USB-C cable
 3. Insert Y-adapter to the OAK device via USB-C connector
