12V 8W USB Plug Step-Up Power Cable to Cigarette Socket
PRODUCT CODE: USBLIGHT1212V 8W USB Plug Step-Up Power Cable to Cigarette Socket.
Convert USB to 12VDC.
Convert power from a USB port to a 12V car cigarette lighter accessory socket.
Capable of supplying 12V up to 660mA from a 5V 2A port. 320mm long cable.
This handy cable converts the 5V from your USB power bank or USB wall charger to 12V, so you can power 12V lights, fans, dash cams, transceivers and other 12V devices with a cigarette lighter accessory plug fitted.
The cable consists of two ends:
USB Plug: This end connects to a USB power source, such as a computer, wall charger, or power bank. USB ports typically provide a 5V output.
Cigarette Socket: This end provides a standard 12V cigarette lighter socket, allowing you to plug in devices that are designed to be powered by a car's cigarette lighter.
A step-up converter is built into the cable to increase the voltage from 5V input to a 12V output, enabling the connected devices to function. It may not work with all devices. As performance can vary between cables, source devices, USB power supplies and 12V devices, we also offer a 14-day 'trial and return for refund less shipping fee' service to enable testing in your environment with your equipment.

Installation Hints, Tips and Troubleshooting:
It is essential to note that the cable has a maximum power rating of 8 watts. This means that the connected device should not consume more than 8 watts of power, or the cable may overheat and become damaged.
Always make sure to check the power requirements of the device you want to connect and ensure that it is compatible with the 12V 8W USB Plug Step-Up Power Cable to Cigarette Socket.
a), If the power supply is unstable, try an alternative USB Port or USB Power Supply. This power converter requires a USB port that provides at least 2 Amp. For best results, use a USB charger or port that can provide the highest current. For example, 2.1 Amp, 3 Amp etc.
b), Use as short as possible USB cables. Every centimetre of cable incurs a small amount of electrical resistance resulting in less power output. For best results use as few and as short as is possible USB cables. The use of extension cables will reduce performance.
Safety tips for using a USB to 12V car cigarette lighter socket:
• Do not overload the socket.
• Do not use the socket if it is damaged.
• Keep the socket clean and free of debris.
• If the socket becomes hot, unplug it immediately.
• Do not leave devices plugged into the socket when you are not using them.

Could this be plugged into a power bank to run the wireless modem which has a cigarette lighter connection.thanks
Hi. Thanks for your question. While we cannot guarantee compatibility as we are not familiar with the power demands of your wireless modem, this should work. Most devices that draw up to 660mA should work. We offer a 14-day 'trial and return for refund less shipping fee' service to enable testing with your power bank and wireless modem with a cigarette lighter connection.
