Kinect v2 Power Supply for PC use

Hey there Huber Thomas!

You can purchase a Kinect power supply from the Microsoft Store. You can also try reaching out to phone support from our Contact
Us page.

Hello,

thank you very much for your fast answer but this power supply is for Xbox 360 Kinect devices and not for the Xbox One.

It seems to be that there is no official way to get only the power supply so I will have to contact the MS support team.

You are using the Kinect for a standard 360 not a Slim right?

If it´s a Slim you do not need to use a power supply for the Kinect.

If it´s not the Slim you just get a official Kinect power supply and it should work.

After seeing the Kinect for windows 2.0, the plug is a combo of USB 3.0 and power. The v2 Kinect requires more power than standard USB and for simplicity of hook up on the Xbox, they made it one plug. There are splitter boxes they use for the PC hookup
but they are not available for sale yet. I am sure people in china are working on making extension cables already.

Hey there Nixe Ahn,

Using that adapter you, should be able to hook the Kinect Sensor up to an Xbox One S console. The

FAQ guide for the Kinect for Windows v2 would suggest that when using the adapter the sensor should work on an Xbox One console, or Xbox One S console using the adapter since functionally it can be used in the reverse scenario.

From the FAQ

If you already own a Kinect for Windows v2 sensor, please be assured that our support for the v2 sensor remains unchanged and you can continue to use it for both commercial and non-commercial uses. If you don’t have a Kinect for Windows v2 sensor, we encourage
you to purchase the Kinect for Xbox One sensor and Kinect Adapter for Windows—which together, are functionally identical to the v2 sensor for developing and running Kinect for Windows v2 applications. We no longer manufacture Kinect for Windows v2 sensors
and have sold out of existing stock."

Microsoft has consolidated the Kinect for Windows developer experience around the Kinect for Xbox One sensor and is no longer producing the Kinect for Windows v2 sensor. We encourage developers who do not already have the v2 sensor to use the functionally
identical Kinect for Xbox One sensor and Kinect Adapter for Windows to create interactive v2 solutions and applications. The adapter enables you to connect a Kinect for Xbox One sensor to Windows 8.0, 8.1, and 10 PCs and tablets in the same way as you would
a Kinect for Windows v2 sensor. Since the Kinect for Xbox One and Kinect for Windows v2 sensors are functionally identical, the Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0 works exactly the same with either."

So by this information you should be able to use it without any issues, since it works in the reverse scenario.

I hope that helps to clarify things for you.
