JL Audio CMC-USBCHG/2X-PNL Dual USB Panel-Mount Charging Port (010-13570-00)

Keep phones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices charged with the JL Audio CMC-USBCHG/2X-PNL Dual USB Charging Port. Designed for permanent installation in a boat’s helm, console, or other convenient location, this panel-mount charger provides two accessible USB Type-A charging connections without relying on loose plug-in adapters. Its clean, low-profile design is suitable for marine, automotive, RV, and powersports installations.

The charger delivers a rated 5V DC/2.1A USB charging output and features a tight-fitting rubber protective cover to help shield the ports from moisture and debris when not in use. The assembly installs through a 1-1/8-inch (1.125-inch) circular opening and secures from behind the mounting surface with a plastic retaining wing nut. Attached 6 ft power wiring allows connection to a suitable vessel electrical supply.

Installation & Compatibility

Choose a flat location that provides enough clearance behind the panel for the port body, retaining wing nut, and wiring. Drill a 1-1/8-inch (1.125-inch) mounting hole, insert the charging port, and secure it from behind using the plastic wing nut. Connect the attached power wiring to a properly protected, compatible marine electrical circuit according to the product installation instructions.

Important: A device-specific USB charging cable is required and is not part of the permanently mounted port. This accessory is for charging and does not provide a USB data connection to a marine stereo. The published 2.1A rating should not be interpreted as 2.1A per port unless confirmed separately.
