About This Device
Not every vehicle deployment justifies a hardwire. Rental fleets, pilot programs, temporary command posts and personal vehicles all call for router power that installs in seconds and leaves no trace. The Cradlepoint 170635-000 is that option: a vehicle auxiliary power adapter cable that draws 12 V DC from a standard accessory socket and delivers it to the small 2x2 power connector used by Cradlepoint's compact COR routers.
The feed lists the IBR600C/IBR650C, and Cradlepoint's documentation covers the COR IBR600/IBR650 families — the compact fixed-wireless routers most often dropped into vehicles for connectivity trials and temporary operations. The 2-meter cable is the practical detail: it reaches from a dash or console socket to a router mounted under a seat, in a console vault or on a rear shelf, without leaving coils of slack.
Deployment is genuinely tool-free. Plug into the accessory socket, connect the 2x2 end to the router, and the vehicle is a rolling hotspot. When the trial ends or the vehicle rotates out, the kit leaves with the router. Note the operational tradeoff versus a hardwired install with ignition sensing: many vehicle accessory sockets are switched with the ignition, so router power follows the key — fine for most uses, but plan for it if you need the router alive when the vehicle is off.
