Apple TV adapter

The Apple TV adapter makes it possible to power your Apple TV directly via a compatible USB port on the TV or monitor.

This means that you avoid an extra 230 V power adapter and get a cleaner installation with fewer cables.

Yes. The adapter is particularly practical in motorhomes and caravans where you want to reduce the number of cables and avoid extra 230 V connections.

As long as the TV’s USB port can supply enough power, the Apple TV can be powered directly from the TV.

No, not if the TV’s USB port can deliver enough power.

The Apple TV then gets its power directly via the USB port on the TV.

The adapter works with TVs and monitors that have a compatible USB port with sufficient power supply.

Not all USB ports deliver the same power, especially on older TVs.

For example, if the USB port cannot supply enough power, the Apple TV may restart, shut down, or not start properly.

First try a different USB port on the TV. If the problem persists, we recommend a separate power source.

This is usually because the USB port cannot supply enough power all the time.

Try a different USB port on the TV. Some TVs have multiple USB ports with different power.

Yes. It is one of the big advantages in, for example, a motorhome, caravan and boat.

If the TV is powered by 12 V and the USB port can supply enough power, the Apple TV can also be powered via the TV without a separate 230 V connection.

It depends on the TV model.

On some TVs, the USB port power is turned off at the same time as the TV. On other models, the USB port may continue to provide power even when the TV is turned off.

Yes. It is very suitable for wall-mounted installations as you can reduce the number of visible cables behind the TV.

This makes installation easier and more discreet.

No. The adapter only affects the power supply.

Apple TV is used just like normal once it’s turned on.
