 The Raspberry Pi uses a standard Micro USB (type B) power connector, which runs at 5&nbsp;V. Generally you can use a MicroUSB to USB cable and then either power the Raspberry Pi directly from your main computers USB ports (if they provide enough power), or by using a USB to Mains adapter. A number of mobile phones use MicroUSB power cables, and these are compatible with the Raspberry Pi in most cases. Below is a list of power adapters known to work.

+Farnell have also been refusing to sell direct to some consumers in the EU, to the best of my knowledge they have not given full details of why.
 There are three main options for buying a Raspberry Pi, buying direct from the distributor, buying from a subsidary or sister company of the distributor or buying from a third party reseller which option is best will depend on the location of the customer, the number of Raspberry Pi's being purchased, and the urgency of the order.
