Why the OLDC/USB Is the Clean USB Charging Solution for Caravan and RV Installations

Charging phones, tablets, GPS devices, and other USB-powered accessories in a caravan or motorhome from the 12V DC battery system is a daily requirement on the road — and the OLDC/USB provides the clean, permanently installed solution for it. Rather than occupying a cigarette lighter socket with a USB adaptor that blocks the socket for anything else, the OLDC/USB provides two dedicated USB charging ports directly on the wall in a purpose-built housing that matches the profile of the OLDC cigarette lighter socket. The same L85 x W56 x H53mm dimensions and 45mm mounting centre allow the OLDC/USB to be installed alongside the OLDC in a coordinated bank of 12V accessories on the same panel.

The two USB ports deliver different output currents — 2.1A for the higher-draw port and 1.0A for the standard port. The 2.1A port is the correct specification for tablets such as iPads and other high-draw USB devices that charge slowly or not at all from a 1A port. The 1.0A port covers standard smartphones and USB accessories. Both ports output 5V — the universal USB charging voltage — converted from the vehicle's 12V DC supply internally. The input supply connection uses the same surface mount housing format as the OLDC, making installation consistent across the caravan or motorhome 12V accessory panel.

The OLDC/USB is the white variant in the Transco dual USB socket range. The black variant (OLDC/USB/B) is available for dark-finish interiors. Sold individually — specify the quantity needed for the number of USB charging positions in the vehicle.

Q: What is the difference between the two USB ports on the OLDC/USB?
A: The OLDC/USB has two USB Type-A ports with different output currents. Port 1 outputs 5V at 2.1A — the higher-current port suited to tablets, iPads, and high-draw USB devices that require more than 1A to charge efficiently. Port 2 outputs 5V at 1.0A — the standard current port for smartphones and USB accessories with lower charging current requirements. Both ports output 5V DC.

Q: What input supply does the Transco OLDC/USB require?
A: The OLDC/USB requires a 12V DC supply — the standard vehicle battery voltage in caravans, motorhomes, and recreational vehicles. It is not suitable for connection to 240V AC mains supply. The USB output ports convert the 12V DC input to 5V DC for device charging internally.

Q: Is the Transco OLDC/USB suitable for charging iPads and tablets?
A: Yes. The 2.1A port on the OLDC/USB provides sufficient output current to charge iPads and other tablets that require a 2.1A USB supply for normal charging. The 1.0A port is suited to smartphones and accessories with lower charging current requirements.
