NOTE: This is an Australian / New Zealand power adapter. Do not order it unless you live in or are visiting a country using these outlets.

  • This is our standard/stock power adapter that ships with or has shipped with the TPE-R1100, TPE-R1200, and the TPE-R1300 routers in our catalog

  • Works great for mini board computers, routers, and similar small/low power devices powered via USB-A

  • Give devices more power: More power for your mini board computers, routers, and similar devices

High Quality Nylon 3FT Micro USB Cable To USB-A (TPE-3FTMICRCBL)
The TPE-3FTMICRCBL cable provides 3' of cable from a device with a micro USB port to a computer with a traditional USB-A port or other USB-A power adapter.

  • 3-ft length is a good amount of cable for most scenarios

  • Made of quality materials that resist interference and provides for power and a reliable connection

  • Customer thought on the cable "this thing works great"

USB GPS Receiver Dongle (TPE-GPS1)
Do you have an application that needs your GPS coordinates? Pick up our USB GPS Receiver Dongle.

  • Works in GNU/Linux whether your using a distribution with the mainline Linux kernel or Linux-libre

  • No dependencies on NDISWrapper, binary blobs, or proprietary drivers-firmware & works with most distributions out of the box

  • Support for most popular and libre (free) distributions

  • To get your coordinates just plug in the receiver and install the software from your favorite repository


4G LTE Antennas w/ CRC9 Adapters for 4G LTE-Advanced Modem (TPE-4GANTCRC)
If you're on the edge of a reception area and need just a little more oomph to get that signal through consider picking up our premium 4G LTE antennas. The antennas connect to the USB 4G modem via a small CRC9 adapter as shown in the picture. This product is primarily geared for use with our TPE-USB4G2US model 4G modem and not any other models. However it may also be useful to those outside of this scope if you happen to have another cellular device that needs a cellular antenna and CRC9 adapters for it. If you have any questions about the product please feel free to contact us.

Here is a picture of the the antennas connected to a TPE-USB4G2US USB 4G modem with the CRC9 adapters

Note: This does NOT include the 4G modem, you are getting JUST two CRC9 adapters and two antennas.
 EU 5V/3A USB-C Power Adapter (EU Plug ONLY, TPE-5V3AUSBCPW)
NOTE: This is an EU power adapter. Do not order it unless have an EU power outlet.

Are you having problems powering a USB 4G modem via a router, mini computing device that runs off USB, or similar? Often routers and mini board computers have power adapters that will supply adequate power under normal conditions, but insufficient power when additional devices like USB 4G modems, wifi adapters, and similar are connected. This can often be resolved by upgrading the USB power adapter. This 5V/3A EU USB-C power adapter is geared primarily at our TPE-R1500 mini mail server. It's likely to work for most other similar devices.
  • Works great for mini board computers, routers, and similar small/low power devices powered via USB

  • Give devices more power: More power for your mini board computers, routers, and similar devices
USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI Multi Display Video Adapter (TPE-USBGFXAD3)
Our USB 2.0 Video Adapter is a great solution for adding additional monitors to your computer, enabling you to add a high-resolution (up to 1920×1080) external DVI output (as well as adapters for VGA/HDMI) to your desktop or laptop computer system using an available USB 2.0 port (one adapter required per monitor).
