The tips included are: 1 White: 5.5/2.5mm (labelled DC5525) 2 Blue: 5.5/2.1mm (labelled DC5521) 3 Black: 5.5/1.5 mm (DC 5515) 4 Yellow 4.0/1.7 (DC4017) 5 Red 3.5/1.35 (DC35135) 6 Black 3.0/1.1 (DC 3011) 7 Yellow 2.5/0.7 (DC2507) The kit does NOT include the 6.4/4.4 mm connector I need so I am returning it. However, I want to mention some of the things that Insignia did really well (and some things that could be improved): PROS: * This is the only kit I found that included female as well as male tips (an extension cord instead of having to purchase a whole power supply with a longer cord) * The male tips are all labelled with their size (see my photo) * The male and female tips are colored coded (there are two pair of black and yellow, but the sizes are different enough that you are unlikely to confuse them). * The male tips have a small and a larger diameter pin so it is easier to keep the polarity consistent at both ends of the cable * The female tips have a short pin and a long in to help keep the polarity consistent at both ends of the cable CONs: * NONE of the online data sheets or listings mention which tips are included in the set . It is buyer beware. I had to pay for it, wait a week for it to arrive, wait quite a while at their curbside pick up, and realize within 3 minutes that the tip I needed isn't in there. I couldn't see how to return it at the store. I will use their web-site to set up the return after I finish this review/answer. * The differing pins help maintain the correct polarity, but both pins on Enercell right angle tips are the smaller diameter. They fit on this extension cord, but might not provide a reliable connection. INSIGNIA SHOULD OFFER RIGHT ANGLE TIPS FOR THIS CORD; SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO MOVE YOUR COMPONENT SO FAR FROM THE WALL. * I don't know if you can see it well in my photo, but the cable ends have a circular lip. The tips fit inside the connector. The Enercell and Adaptaplug tips do fit inside, but I have tips from an old Kensington Universal Laptop power supply that have a circular lip on the tip; therefore, these tips cannot be used on this Insignia extension cable. * They have 7 pair of tips, but only 5 colors. It would be easier with 7 colors so each tip is unique.
