Product Information
Full details
This 20-meter Kenable DC Power Extension Cable is designed for users needing to extend existing 2.1mm DC power connections, particularly for CCTV equipment. Its primary benefit is providing significant reach without signal loss due to its full copper construction. A minor consideration is that it extends an existing cable, meaning a power source and original cable are still required at the starting point.

FAQs
What type of DC connector does this cable use?
This cable uses a standard 2.1mm DC barrel connector, which is common for CCTV equipment and other small electronic devices.
Can I use this cable to extend any power adapter?
This cable is specifically for DC power extension and is compatible with power adapters that have a 2.1mm male plug. Always ensure your original power adapter's voltage and amperage rating are sufficient for the connected device(s) and the cable length.
What is the maximum distance this cable can extend power?
This is a 20-meter extension cable. It extends an existing cable by 20 meters.
Does this cable come with a power adapter?
No, this is an extension cable only. It requires an existing compatible DC power cable and power adapter to function.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
While the moulded ends offer some protection, the cable itself is not rated for direct outdoor exposure unless properly protected from the elements. It is best used in installations where it is shielded from weather.
What is the internal wire construction?
The cable is constructed with 30 strands of 0.1mm Bright Copper (BC) cables for reliable conductivity.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on after connecting the extension cable.
Ensure the original power adapter is plugged in and functioning. Verify that both ends of the extension cable are securely connected. Check that the 2.1mm DC connectors are clean and free of debris. Confirm that the original power adapter has sufficient amperage to power the device over the extended cable length.
Intermittent power or poor performance from the connected device.
Check for loose connections at either end of the extension cable. Inspect the cable for any visible damage, such as cuts or kinks. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted. If the issue persists, the original power adapter may not be supplying enough power over the extended distance; consider a higher amperage adapter if compatible.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extends reach for DC power, ideal for surveillance setups.
- Durable construction with moulded connectors.
- Full copper cable ensures good electrical conductivity.
- Provides a simple solution to power source limitations.
- Standard 2.1mm socket for broad compatibility with compatible devices.
Cons
- Only extends an existing cable; cannot be used as a standalone power cable.
- Specific to 2.1mm DC connections, not universally compatible with all power types.
- Maximum length may not be sufficient for very large areas.
- Requires an existing compatible DC power supply and cable.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This cable is designed for simple plug-and-play use. Connect the male end of the Kenable Extension Lead to the female socket of your existing 2.1mm DC power cable, and connect the female end of the extension lead to the DC input of your device (e.g., CCTV camera, router). Ensure both connections are secure.
Compatibility: The cable is compatible with any device or power adapter that uses a standard 2.1mm DC barrel connector. Always check the power requirements (voltage and amperage) of your device and ensure your original power adapter can support the combined length and power draw.
Care: Keep the cable and its connectors clean and free from dust and moisture. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal wiring. Store in a dry place when not in use.
