Car USB Power Adapter

The Cables Unlimited ZIP-PWR-DCM plugs into a vehicle 12 V lighter socket and delivers 5 V USB Mini power for phones and media players. Its compact 42 mm length and 32 mm diameter allow it to sit flush in a console without obstructing other controls. A flip-up handle makes removal simple when the outlet is needed for another accessory. The single LED confirms power is present at a glance.

Output Limitation

The adapter supplies a maximum of 1 Amp at 5 V, which suits smartphones and small USB devices but cannot fast-charge tablets or power-hungry peripherals. Continuous use while navigating or streaming will maintain the battery rather than raise it quickly. The USB Mini connector also excludes newer devices that require USB-C or Lightning without an extra cable. Buyers needing higher current or modern connectors should look elsewhere.

Connector Decides Fit

The fixed USB Mini output port is the single specification that determines whether this unit matches the device being charged. If the target hardware uses USB Mini, the adapter works directly; otherwise a separate cable or different adapter is required. No other spec overrides this physical interface constraint.

Questions about this item

Is the 12 V input the right match for my car's lighter socket?

Yes — the adapter plugs directly into a standard 12 V lighter socket and converts it to 5 V USB Mini power for your device.

What does the 1 A output mean for actual charging speed?

It delivers up to 1 A, so most phones charge at a normal rate even while you are using GPS or making calls.

Does the USB Mini port limit which cables or devices I can connect?

The port is USB Mini, so you need a cable with a Mini connector; it will not accept Micro-USB or USB-C plugs directly.
