FAQs

What is the purpose of the bare ends?

The bare ends allow you to connect the cable directly to the wires of your device or power source.

What type of devices can I use this with?

This cable is suitable for low-wattage devices, such as CCTV cameras, LED lights, and other small electronic devices that use a 5.5 x 2.1mm DC power input.

How do I determine the polarity?

Most devices and power supplies indicate polarity. Look for markings like '+' and '-' or color-coded wires. If unsure, consult your device's manual.

What happens if I connect the polarity incorrectly?

Connecting the polarity incorrectly can damage the connected device. Always double-check your connections.

Can I use this cable for high-power devices?

No, this cable is designed for low-wattage applications. Using it with high-power devices could overload the cable and cause damage.

What if the cable length is too short?

If the 0.3m length is insufficient, consider using extension cables or splicing in additional wire to extend the reach. Ensure any splices are properly insulated.

Is this cable weatherproof?

No, this cable is not specifically weatherproof. Protect the connections from moisture and direct exposure to the elements.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on.

Check the power supply and ensure the pigtail is correctly wired. Verify polarity and voltage.

Loose connection.

Ensure the connections are secure. Re-check the wiring and crimp or solder as needed.
