What this cable does

The TaoTao boost cable converts a standard USB 5 V source into a 12 V output through a 5.5 mm by 2.1 mm barrel connector. It is intended for users who need to power 12 V devices such as routers, USB hubs, lamps, fans or speakers from a USB port.

What the bundle provides

The package includes a single 1 metre cable with a USB Type‑A plug on one end and a 5.5 mm male barrel plug on the other. No additional adapters, drivers or software are supplied, so the cable alone delivers the voltage conversion.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm that the target device accepts a 5.5 mm by 2.1 mm centre‑positive barrel jack and draws no more than 1 A at 12 V. Also ensure the USB power source can supply enough current for the boost conversion.

Questions about this item

Will the 12-strand 0.1mm copper conductors or the boost circuitry need replacement after long daily use?

The cable uses 12 strands of 0.1mm copper inside a PVC jacket; the boost circuit is built into the USB-A plug. No user-serviceable parts are inside, so the whole cable is replaced if the connector loosens or the boost function fails.

What limit appears first when the cable runs at its rated 1A output continuously?

The 1A current rating is the hard ceiling. Drawing more than 1A from the 5.5×2.1mm DC plug will trip the internal protection or cause voltage sag, so the load must stay at or below that figure.

How much heat or noise does the boost module produce when powering a router all day?

The sealed boost module inside the USB-A housing runs silently. At full 1A load it becomes warm to the touch but stays within normal operating temperature for continuous use.
