Product Information

Full details

This 15-meter DC power extension cable is designed for installers and DIY enthusiasts who need to extend the reach of power supplies for CCTV cameras, LED lighting, or other low-voltage electronics. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of high-quality 30x0.1mm full copper wires, which minimize voltage drop over the 15-meter run. The caveat is that users must ensure their device specifically requires the 5.5 x 2.1mm barrel connector standard, as other sizes will not fit securely.

FAQs

Will this work with all CCTV cameras?

It works with most standard CCTV cameras that use a 5.5x2.1mm DC barrel plug, but always check your camera's technical specifications first.

Can I chain two of these together?

While technically possible, daisy-chaining long cables increases resistance and voltage drop, which may cause your device to malfunction. It is better to use a single cable run.

Is this cable waterproof?

No, the cable and connectors are not weatherproof. If used outdoors, you must house the connection points in a waterproof box.

What gauge of wire is used?

The cable uses 30x0.1mm copper strands, designed to minimize resistance over the 15-meter distance.

Can this be used for 24V systems?

Yes, this cable is suitable for 12V and 24V low-voltage DC applications provided the current draw is within normal limits.

Troubleshooting

Device is not receiving power

Ensure the connections at both ends are pushed in fully. Check that the power adapter output matches the device input voltage.

Intermittent power loss

Verify that your device uses a 2.1mm center pin. If the device uses a 2.5mm pin, the connection will be loose and unreliable.

Cable feels warm to the touch

Check if your device is drawing more current than the cable gauge can safely handle; ensure the total amperage is within the standard limits of 2.1mm DC barrel equipment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 15-meter length allows for flexible installation
  • Uses full copper wire for stable power transmission
  • Moulded connectors provide excellent durability
  • Simple plug-and-play installation
  • Standard sizing works with most consumer electronics

Cons

  • Specific 5.5x2.1mm size does not fit 2.5mm or 1.7mm ports
  • Not intended for high-amperage appliances
  • Cable is relatively thin due to length; avoid pinching or heavy foot traffic

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply connect the male end of the extension cable into your device's power port and the female end to your power adapter. Before installation, verify your device's input requirement; if your device requires a 5.5 x 2.5mm jack, this cable will feel loose and cause intermittent power failures. To maintain the cable, avoid bending it at sharp 90-degree angles to prevent internal wire fatigue. When running the cable outdoors, ensure all connections are protected by a waterproof junction box, as the connectors themselves are not IP-rated for direct weather exposure.
