Full details

This kenable Easy Wire Power 2.1mm DC Plug is ideal for CCTV camera installers and DIY enthusiasts seeking a fast, tool-free connection method. Its primary benefit is simplifying power cable connections, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing, or soldering. However, it requires a small screwdriver for terminal connections, so it's not entirely tool-free. This plug offers a secure and reliable way to connect power to standard security cameras and CCTV systems with 2.1mm internal diameter barrel jack inputs, speeding up installations significantly.

FAQs

What size screwdriver is needed for the terminals?

A small, standard Phillips head or flathead screwdriver is typically sufficient, depending on the screw type used in the terminals.

Can this plug be used with any power adapter?

This plug is designed for 2.1mm DC barrel jack connections. You must ensure your power adapter has a matching 2.1mm male plug and provides the correct voltage and amperage for your camera.

Do I need to strip the wires on my camera's power cable?

Yes, you will need to strip a small amount of insulation from the ends of the camera's power wires to expose the conductors for connection to the screw terminals.

Is soldering required for this connector?

No, soldering is not required. The screw terminals provide a secure connection method without the need for soldering or crimping.

What are the dimensions of the connector?

The connector measures approximately 39mm in length, 13mm in width, and 12mm in height.

Can this be used for data cables?

No, this connector is specifically designed for power connections (DC Plug) and is not suitable for data transmission.

What is the weight of this connector?

The connector weighs approximately 10 grams.

Troubleshooting

No power to the camera after connection

Double-check that the positive and negative wires are correctly inserted into the screw terminals and that the screws are tightened securely. Verify that the power supply is functional and providing the correct voltage. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the camera's DC input.

Intermittent power or poor video quality

Ensure the wire connections are tight. Loose connections can cause intermittent power. Check that the wire ends are stripped properly and making good contact with the terminals. Inspect the power cable for any damage.

Wires slipping out of terminals

Ensure the wires are stripped to an appropriate length to make solid contact. Tighten the screw terminals firmly. If the wire is too thin, consider using a small amount of solder to tin the wire end before inserting it into the terminal for a more secure grip.
