Not really, it's for servicing the tv.
Don't normal usb adapters and cables exist over there?
I can go any supermarket or corner shop and buy one

Generally used to calibrate TV, etc, so should be powered ok.

Tv in question possibly has 2 scart 3 hdmi and no usb ports built in.
God knows what cables i have stored in many boxes and down to my last Null modem cable.
I have a number of short usb extensions for plugging into the rear and using usb sticks on top of boxes.

The firestick can either plug directly into the tv hdmi slot or a hdmi extension cable.
The usb (power) can come from the tv or from a socket/adapter

I have a right angle hdmi adapter and it wont plug into which seems strange as i have a spare cable in back of an alcove and power extension.

Was not sure if service port could power stick on the tv as only 1 power socket.

Need to dig out ladder to get up to tv on the ceiling.

Saves anybody walking into it.

HMM usb to power adapter too short as will get ladder out as it needs to be adjusted and move stuff under tv.
Dont want to be up on ladder with a coughing fit happening.

Ive an Acer TV/Monitor in one of my rooms. with a service USB slot hidden under a rubber flap, I plugged in the Firestick 4K into the HDMI port and powered it from the USB port without any issue.

I got a newer Firestick Pro or Max recently as a Xmas pressie and tried to power it from a USB port on a 65" Samsung and a warning popped up on the screen that the power from the USB was not adequate to power the Firestick. (Note the older Firestick was actually powered by the Samsung until I received the newer Firestick)
