what size cable

[davejmobile]

hi can anyone help I wish to fit some extra usbs in my 2011 auto trail Dakota can any one help with what size cable I would need please.

For runs up to few feet 1.5 sqmm will be adequate. TBH 1 sqmm would do but it's a bit flimsy.

If you mean this sort of usb then they are only around 2amps at 12v so as above 1 or 1.5 mm

not really a straight forward answer, but it depends on the length of the cable. The longer the cable the bigger the core due to voltage drops (resistance)
