USB cable for Airtel Router power

[gourav]

Where can I find a USB power cable for my Airtel Router? I already have a perfectly capable power bank which I can use with it, but the power adapter which comes with the router doesn't have USB cable.

What do you mean?
Most likely your router takes 12v DC, do you have a powerbank which gives out 12V?
Are you looking for USB to DC barrel jack cable?

do you have a powerbank which gives out 12V?

Oh, you're right, my power bank's output is 5v, so it won't work.

You can't just take away business from Router UPS/inverter industry just like that LOL.

Yup. Non-standard hardware is great business. When I changed my Echo dot from 2nd to 3rd gen, I discovered they were no longer using micro-USB.

If it were up to these companies, they'd have us buy proprietory switch and sockets to plug their stuff in.

Well if you have a USB PD powerbank you can have a cable that negotiates for 12V and power the router using that. The problem is these cables are hard to find in India. You might need to DIY using a USB PD trigger board like this one below with a cable attached.
