Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 004431 DC power extension cable is designed for users needing to extend existing power connections for devices with a 2.1mm DC input, particularly beneficial for CCTV equipment. Its primary advantage is the 5-meter length and right-angled connector, which aids in tight spaces. A potential consideration is that it's an extension cable, requiring an existing power adapter with a compatible 2.1mm male connector.

FAQs

What is the exact size of the DC connector?

The cable features a 2.1mm female socket and a 2.1mm male plug. This is commonly referred to as a 5.5mm x 2.1mm connector.

Can this cable be used with any power adapter?

This cable is designed for power adapters with a 2.1mm male DC output plug. It's crucial to ensure your power adapter has this specific connector size for compatibility.

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

The cable itself is rated to pass the DC power from your adapter. It does not regulate voltage or amperage. Ensure your power adapter's output specifications are suitable for your connected device.

Is the right-angled connector suitable for all installations?

The right-angled connector is beneficial for tight spaces or to reduce cable strain. However, its suitability depends on the physical layout of your device's power port and surrounding connections.

Can I use this to extend a power supply for a laptop?

This cable is specifically designed for 2.1mm DC connectors, which are common for CCTV and other low-voltage devices. Most laptops use different sized power connectors, so please check your laptop's power adapter plug size before purchasing.

How durable is the cable?

The cable features moulded ends for a secure and durable connection, designed for regular use. However, like all cables, it should be handled with care to avoid damage.

Does this cable convert power or affect the power supply?

No, this is a passive extension cable. It simply extends the reach of your existing power adapter's output and does not change the voltage or amperage.

Troubleshooting

Device not receiving power after connecting the cable.

Ensure the power adapter is functioning correctly by plugging it directly into the device. Check that both ends of the extension cable are securely connected. Verify that the power adapter's connector is a 2.1mm male plug and that it mates correctly with the cable's 2.1mm female socket.

Intermittent power or flickering device light.

Check for a loose connection at either end of the extension cable or the power adapter. Inspect the cable for any visible signs of damage, such as kinks or cuts. Ensure the power adapter's output meets the device's power requirements.

Right-angled connector does not fit due to adjacent ports.

While the right-angled connector is designed for space-saving, in some very specific port layouts, it might obstruct adjacent connections. Consider if a straight extension cable would be more suitable for your specific device or use case.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your existing power adapter has a 2.1mm male DC output plug.
  2. Connect the male 2.1mm angled end of the Kenable extension cable to your power adapter.
  3. Connect the female 2.1mm straight end of the extension cable to your device's DC power input.
  4. Plug the power adapter into a wall socket.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is compatible with power adapters that output a 2.1mm x 5.5mm DC plug. Please verify your power adapter's connector size before purchase.
  • It is suitable for DC power supplies within the voltage and amperage ratings of your original adapter.

Care:
