Eliminates the Need for an AC Power Outlet Mission Power USB cable allows you to power your Fire TV directly from your TV's USB port. It's the quickest and simplest way to set up your Fire TV. Includes Special Power Management Circuitry Mission Power USB cable includes proprietary circuitry that stores excess power from the USB port and then releases it during brief intervals when the Fire TV’s power load exceeds the power output capability of the USB port. In this way the Mission Power USB power cable is able to increase the peak power capability of your TV’s USB port. With Mission Power, even low power 500mA USB ports can support the peak power requirements required for downloading and watching videos, gaming, etc. Made for Fire TV Mission Power USB cable has been tested and verified to work with Fire TV. User Notes Fire TV Stick included.

It did not power up my Fire TV box, You need two USB ports on your TV to use "Y" cable.
This item does not work for Fire TV unless you have two USB ports on your TV, It came with a "Y" connector to connect to two USB ports. One USB port is not strong enough to power Fire TV box. I have two new Sony Smart TV sets, they put out good power to USB port, but not enough to power up Fire TV box. I have never seen a TV with two USB ports, If you have one and can use the "Y" cable, it might work for you.

TV Not Happy with USB Cable
Nice idea but did not work for me. I used two usb ports on my Panasonic VT50 television and the television posted an error message that the usb ports were experiencing an overpower condition and required that I shut down and restart the TV after removing the offending device.

Does not work consistently- even on a brand new 70" 4K TV
Does not work consistently- even on a brand new 70" 4K TV. The fire tv box usually resets itself after 30 seconds. Useless.

Works for about 30 seconds then shuts off. Even using the two USB connector, there is just not enough power to keep the box powered on.
