14.1. Outdoors USB Cable

The Outdoors USB Cable is made for outdoors applications with high power consumption requirements, where
nodes need to be permanently powered. It consists of a 3-meter cable with the solar socket connector on one end,
and a USB male A type on the other end.
The solar socket end is meant to be connected on the solar socket of Plug & Sense!, it is not valid for the sensor
sockets. This special end is waterproof and suitable for outdoors connections.
On the other hand, the USB end of the cable is thought to be connected to the USB charger (AC/DC, 5 V output).
Bear in mind that this end is not waterproof so it cannot be used outdoors. Please protect it accordingly.

One application of the cable is to power a node placed on the facade of a building; the USB cable goes indoors
through a nearby window, and the USB end remains indoors, connected to a wall adapter.
