KAMAL ROUTER CABLE DC=12V MODEL -K 106
Kamal K106 is a specialized DC-to-DC (or USB-to-DC) boost converter cable. It is primarily used to power internet routers and modems during power outages by connecting them to a power bank.
Here is the breakdown of its features and how it works:
⚡ Key Functionality
-
Voltage Step-Up: Most power banks output 5V, but most WiFi routers require 12V to operate. The K106 features a built-in smart chip that "boosts" the 5V power from your power bank to a stable 12V DC output.
-
Plug-and-Play: You simply plug the USB end into your power bank and the DC pin into your router’s power port.
🔌 Technical Specifications
-
Model: K106
-
Input: USB 5V (2A or higher recommended for stability).
-
Output: DC 12V.
-
Connector Pin: Usually a 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC jack (the standard size for most TP-Link, Tenda, and PTCL routers).
-
Max Current: Typically supports up to 1A (1000mA) output, which is enough to run standard single or dual-antenna routers.
🔦 Why Use the K106?
-
Uninterrupted Internet: Perfect for students, freelancers, or gamers who need the internet to stay active during load-shedding or power cuts.
-
Portability: You can take your router and power bank anywhere (like a car or a remote outdoor spot) and have a working WiFi signal.
-
Emergency Backup: It is a much cheaper alternative to a dedicated Router UPS.
⚠️ Important Usage Tips
-
Check Your Router: Look at the sticker on the bottom of your router. It must say DC 12V. If your router is 9V, this 12V cable might damage it.
-
Power Bank Requirement: For the best results, use a power bank that supports at least 5V/2.1A output. If the power bank is too weak, the router may restart repeatedly.
-
Efficiency: Conversion from 5V to 12V uses more energy, so your power bank will drain faster than when charging a phone.
