Triumph auxiliary/accessory cable

[RAYK47]

Does anyone know what cable is needed to connect to the bike that allows you to wire in other things i.e. connect a USB charger to a switched live. I think it's called an auxiliary or accessory cable. 

 

I have a 2015 Triumph street triple .

I really like how this is power sensing, and will cut power to the accessories when the engine is off.

these look interesting, thanks gents.  Need somoething that makes adding cameras and a USB charger simple.  Need them to be connected to a switched live.

Do mean ignition switched, or that witch you switch yourself?  (jeez, that sounded posh)

ignition switch, the cameras drain the battery otherwise.

I have a home made device similar to the Healtech. 12v relay connected to an ignition switched cable. For me the tail lights. Then 12 supply via a normally open contact to a terminal block where the accessories are connected.

Then you want the Healtech that @Bungleaio posted above, or do a similar set-up to @JRH

thanks for all your help gents

As has been suggested by  @JRH , fitting a relay yourself to create an ignition switched supply that can handle a good level of power is fairly easy.

 

Fused relays are really cheap and can be bought with the right connector (e.g. click here). You just need to add some wire of appropriate gauge and a few connectors. If you didn't have any of the tools or supplies then I would guess you could do it for c.£25 (a little more for quality tools that will last you forever). If you've already got the basic electrical stuff and the tools, then sub £10.

 

Either do some research online on how to do it or start a thread on here and I'm sure people will help (myself included).

It's very clever, there's also an override that will activate it from a switched live, I have used that now as I wanted to set the CarPlay thing up before setting off but before I had that the auto power on/off worked well.
