FAQs

What is the exact size of the DC plug and socket?

The connectors are 5.5mm in outer diameter and 2.5mm in inner diameter (5.5 x 2.5mm).

Can I use this cable with any power adapter?

You can use it with any DC power adapter that has a compatible 5.5 x 2.5mm male plug. It's crucial to also ensure the voltage and polarity match your device's requirements.

Is this cable suitable for all CCTV cameras?

It is suitable for CCTV cameras that specifically use a 5.5 x 2.5mm DC power input. Always check your camera's specifications.

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

The product details do not specify a maximum power rating. It is designed for standard DC power applications like those found in many CCTV systems. For high-power devices, consult the original power adapter's specifications and consider a cable rated for higher current.

Does the cable support data transfer?

No, this is purely a DC power extension cable and does not support data transfer.

How durable are the moulded ends?

Moulded ends are generally more durable and provide a more secure connection compared to non-moulded or crimped connectors, reducing the risk of strain at the connection point.

Troubleshooting

No power to the connected device

Verify that both ends of the extension cable are securely plugged in. Check that the original power adapter is functioning correctly and providing the correct voltage. Ensure the 5.5 x 2.5mm connector size is compatible with your device.

Intermittent power or connection issues

Gently reseat both ends of the cable to ensure a firm connection. Inspect the connectors for any visible damage or debris. If the issue persists, the extension cable may be faulty.

Cable gets unusually warm

Disconnect immediately and check the power rating of your adapter against the requirements of your device. This cable is intended for standard DC power applications and may not be suitable for high-draw devices. Ensure the connection is secure and not loose.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides extended reach for DC power connections.
  • Secure and durable moulded connectors.
  • Standard 5.5 x 2.5mm size is widely compatible with many CCTV and electronic devices.
  • Simple plug-and-play extension.

Cons

  • Only compatible with devices using a 5.5 x 2.5mm DC power input.
  • Fixed length of 1.5 meters may not be sufficient for all applications.
  • Not suitable for high-power applications where gauge or shielding requirements differ.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cable is designed for plug-and-play use. Simply connect the male plug end into the female socket of your existing DC power cable, and then connect the female socket end of the extension cable to your device's power input port.

Compatibility: Ensure your device and existing power adapter use a 5.5mm outer diameter and 2.5mm inner diameter DC barrel connector. This is a common size for many CCTV systems, routers, and other low-to-medium power electronic devices. Verify the polarity and voltage of your power adapter are appropriate for your device.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the connectors clean and free of dust and debris. Store the cable away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to prevent internal damage.
