Power IP fuse Can I use this for accessories

I am looking to add an auxiliary fuse block that turns on with key.

There is a fuse in the fuse block labeled POWER OUTLET IP it has a 20 amp fuse. Next to this is a single slot that is a powered when the key is on.

My questions are:

Can I put a male connector into this slot and use it to activate a relay to power my aux fuse block?

What is POWER OUTLET IP. One of the cigarette lighter outlets I assume

If you're just using it to power a relay coil then it's fine to use it. Power Outlet IP should be cigar lighter Instrument Panel.

Thanks that is my intention. Use a relay coil to power a 4-6 fuse block for keyed accessories, satellite radio, cb radio, and a small inverter.

I bought a 4 plug wall unit from an RV dealer with a power switch.

Wired it through the wall directly to the battery and ground with its own fuse in line.
