*This page organises and goes over various DC Power Transmission Standards/Outlets<br />
<br />
=Consumer Level=<br />
== [[Barrel Jack]] ==<br />
===12 Volt===<br />
*Most Common<br />
*Often Known as a Cigarette Lighter Port<br />
*Bulky Design, but Common<br />
<br />
==USB==<br />
=== [[Micro USB]] ===<br />
*Most Common (As of ~2019) mainly due to EU requirement for Electronic Devices<br />
*Lower Power Delivery Capability Than Some other Options<br />
*Not very durable<br />
<br />
=== [[USB C]] ===<br />
*Becoming More Common<br />
*Can Move a Lot of power (See the [[USB C]] Page for More Specifics)<br />
*Quite Durable, and Hardened versions are available<br />
<br />
=Commercial=<br />
== [[XLR]] ==<br />
*Durable, Usable Port, yet has other uses so may lead to accidental destruction of equipment<br />
<br />
=Scientific=<br />
*<br />
<br />
=Industrial=<br />
== [[IEC 60309]] ==<br />
*Hardened <br />
*Rated to High Power Levels<br />
*Can Also Handle AC (which may also lead to accidental destruction of equipment)<br />
