This compact cable uses a USB Type C PD Decoy chip to request either 12V or 15V from a Type C PD source.
Some notes regarding the Type C source (such as a cigarette lighter adapter, or power pack):
- It must be “PD” (power delivery) capable
- It must be able to provide the wattage required to power your 12V or 15V device
- Some adapters are advertised as having power capacity equal to the sum of the ports, so the PD port is often far less
- Some adapters, even with high power PD ports, cannot deliver that power while other ports are in use.
