12v fans via USB cable?

Cris.py

Hello,

 

A bit of a random question. I'm making a custom cooling system for a friends cosplays and it needs to be easily removable, adjustable etc as it will be reused often. My plan is PC fans and 12v battery pack. However, to make it as easy to swap, change etc as possible I was thinking of using USB connectors/cables since I have a bunch lying around. So the question is, would USB cable/connector survive 12v?

 

Thank you for any info, I'm super rusty when it comes to electricity lol.

absolutely. I'd probably survive 100V too. As pointed out though, you just need to make very sure no one plugs it into their laptop.
