That adapter isn't clearly labelled on the product itself for the output voltage or current, and you shouldn't settle for any adapter that isn't.

That said, according to this thread you need "12v (not more, not less), and at least 2.5 amp, with a 3.5mm x 1.35mm connector. "
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/11/1874001258765699858/

The listing of your product implies it meets the volt and amp spec, and has a plug suitable for a Playstation VR, but I've been unable to find out what that size plug is spec'd for the PSVR (and if it's the same as the Index).

In this thread, DannyB9 found 2 sizes that didn't work with his PSVR and one that did: EIAJ-04 type dc adapter 5.5/3.3/1mm centre pin. That's not the same.

I believe this is the belker universal mentioned in the first thread, comes with many size plugs, one's the right size for index.

It's also worth looking into this product if it does get restocked at some point.
https://tundra-labs.com/products/12vdc-power-kit-for-head-mounted-displays?variant=39405244088529

It lets you integrate the power supply of the headset to your PC and Tundra is a pretty reputable company so they would've tried and tested the power output. Keeps your overall setup cleaner anyways.

The ifixit store also sells the original Valve adapters as spare parts.

I also now need a new power supply, after my daughters rabbit bit the cord enough to make it stop working :( Still out of stock at ifitit store and not to be found anywhere else, not even in here on Steam which makes it kinda hopeless, guess I have to try the alternate methods mentioned, think I have that kind of adapter in a box somewhere...

I honestly just sent in a help needed to valve and they were very nice and replaced it with no charge
