Product Information

Full details

This FIPUX 0.5m DC Power Cable is designed for users of CCTV surveillance systems who need a reliable connection between their DC power supplies and CCTV devices. Its key benefit is providing a straightforward connection with a standard DC plug on one end and bare wires on the other, simplifying installations. A potential caveat is its fixed 0.5-meter length, which may require extension for certain setups.

FAQs

What is the exact size of the DC plug?

The DC plug has an outer diameter of 5.5mm and an inner diameter of 2.1mm.

Can I use this cable for devices other than CCTV cameras?

Yes, as long as the device requires DC power via a 5.5 x 2.1mm connector and the power supply specifications (voltage and amperage) are compatible.

Does this cable come with a power adapter?

No, this product is only the DC power cable. A separate DC power adapter is required.

How should I connect the bare wires?

The bare wires should be securely connected to the corresponding positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of your DC power source. Wire connectors, crimp terminals, or soldering are common methods for achieving a reliable connection.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

The cable itself is not inherently weatherproof. Ensure all connections, especially the bare wire end, are protected from moisture and the elements if used in an outdoor environment.

What is the maximum voltage and amperage this cable can handle?

The cable is designed for standard CCTV power requirements, typically up to 12V or 24V DC and moderate amperages. For specific limits, consult the specifications of your power supply and CCTV device.

Troubleshooting

No power to CCTV camera

Verify that the DC power supply is functioning and providing the correct voltage. Ensure the bare wire connections are secure and correctly matched (positive to positive, negative to negative). Check that the DC plug is fully inserted into the camera.

Intermittent power or signal loss

Inspect the bare wire connections for looseness or corrosion. Ensure the cable is not damaged or pinched. Test with a different, known-good power supply and cable if possible.

DC plug does not fit

Confirm your CCTV device uses a 5.5 x 2.1mm DC input. This cable is not compatible with other sizes like 5.5 x 2.5mm or smaller/larger connectors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple, direct connection for power.
  • Common DC plug size ensures wide compatibility with many CCTV devices.
  • Bare wire end offers flexibility for custom installations.
  • Short length reduces excess cable and simplifies routing in confined spaces.

Cons

  • Fixed 0.5m length may be too short for some installations.
  • Bare wire end requires basic wiring knowledge for secure connection.
  • Not suitable for high-power devices requiring thicker gauge wire.
  • Only one cable included per purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the DC input port on your CCTV device (typically 5.5 x 2.1mm).
  2. Identify the positive and negative wires from your DC power supply.
  3. Connect the bare wires of the FIPUX cable to the corresponding positive and negative outputs of your power supply. Ensure secure connections (e.g., using wire connectors or soldering).
  4. Plug the DC connector into your CCTV device.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is designed for DC power inputs with a 5.5 x 2.1mm barrel connector.
  • Ensure your power supply voltage and amperage are compatible with your CCTV device.

Care:

  • Keep the cable and connectors clean and dry.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Periodically check connections for security and corrosion.
