Power Supply for Xbox One
The Xbox One uses an external power supply that plugs into an AC outlet. The Xbox one power supply is rated 100-240 volts at 50-60 hertz and delivers 12 volts of DC power at up to 7.5 amps.
Xbox One Power Supply Cords
AC Power Cord
A power supply brick is attached to the wall and permits a removeable AC power cord. The length of this cord is longer (5ft and 9 inches) than the DC power cord. If for any reason in the future you replace this cord with another cord that is not made for Xbox one, it will harm both the supply brick as well as the console.
DC Power Cord
The DC cord can be directly plugged into the Xbox one console. The length of the direct current power cord is 3 feet and 6 inches in length. This cord has a power connector that is connected at the cord’s end. It is used by the console as a power socket.
The Power Management System of Xbox One
The Xbox One console itself has a built-in power management system that automatically regulates the power consumption of the console and its accessories. When the console is idle, it will go into a standby mode that consumes less than one watt of power.
The standby mode can be turned off completely, or the console can be set to turn off after a while automatically. The Xbox One can also be powered remotely using the Kinect sensor or the controller.
