This 3m DC Power Extension Cable features a male to female connector with a size of 5.5mm x 2.1mm ...This 3m DC Power Extension Cable features a male to female connector with a size of 5.5mm x 2.1mm x 10mm (External Diameter x Internal Diameter x Length). It supports a maximum voltage of 20V and a maximum current of 0.4A. This cable is ideal for extending DC power leads with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm male connector, commonly used with CCTV cameras and other low-current electrical devices. Please note that most IP cameras have a 3.5mm external diameter DC power socket and are not compatible with this extension lead. The cable has a durable PVC jacket and strain relief to protect against wear and tear, and it has been tested to ROHS standards.
This guide is for users of the Loops DC Power Extension Cable, designed to extend the reach of DC power connections. The key benefit is extending the reach of your 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC power devices, such as CCTV cameras, without needing to move the power source. A key caveat is its incompatibility with devices using a 3.5mm external diameter DC power socket, like many IP cameras.
