Product Information

Full details

This kenable DC Power Extension Cable is designed for users needing to extend existing 2.1mm DC power connections, particularly for CCTV equipment. Its key benefit is providing an extra 2 meters of reach with reliable, moulded connectors. A minor caveat is its 60W/60VA maximum rating, which may not suit high-power devices.

FAQs

What is the exact size of the DC barrel connector?

This cable uses a 5.5mm outer diameter and 2.1mm inner diameter DC barrel connector.

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

This cable is rated for a maximum of 60W/60VA. Most laptops require higher power ratings, so it is generally not suitable for laptops unless specifically confirmed by the laptop manufacturer's specifications.

Will this cable work with my 12V CCTV camera?

If your CCTV camera uses a 2.1mm DC input and its power adapter's output is within the 60W/60VA limit, this cable should work. Always confirm your camera's power specifications.

Can I daisy-chain multiple extension cables?

It is not recommended to connect multiple extension cables together, as this can lead to signal degradation and potentially exceed safe power limits.

Is this cable shielded?

The product description does not specify shielding. It is designed for standard DC power extension and may not be suitable for environments with significant electromagnetic interference.

What is the maximum voltage this cable can handle?

The cable itself does not convert voltage; it extends the existing DC voltage from your power adapter. It is rated up to 60W/60VA, which implies compatibility with common DC voltages like 5V, 9V, 12V, and 24V, as long as the total power draw is within the limit.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on after connecting the extension cable.

Ensure both ends of the extension cable are firmly connected to the power adapter and the device. Check that the power adapter is functioning correctly by plugging it directly into the device. Verify that the device's power requirements do not exceed the cable's 60W/60VA rating.

Intermittent power or device flickering.

Check for a secure connection at both ends. Gently wiggle the connectors to ensure they are seated properly. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. If damage is present, replace the cable.

Cable feels warm during use.

This may indicate the device is drawing close to the 60W/60VA limit. Ensure adequate ventilation around the cable and device. If the cable becomes excessively hot, discontinue use immediately and check the device's power consumption.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends existing DC power connections by 2 meters.
  • Features a 2.1mm socket compatible with common power adapters.
  • Moulded connectors ensure a secure and reliable connection.
  • Suitable for CCTV equipment and other DC-powered devices.
  • Durable black cable and connectors.

Cons

  • Limited to a maximum of 60W/60VA, unsuitable for high-power devices.
  • Only compatible with 2.1mm DC connectors; not universal.
  • Does not convert voltage; it only extends the existing power cable.
  • Fixed 2-meter length may be too short or too long for some applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the male 2.1mm connector into your existing DC power adapter's output, and then plug the female 2.1mm socket of the extension cable into your device. Ensure both connections are firm.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for devices that use a 5.5 x 2.1mm DC barrel connector and operate within a 60W/60VA power limit. It is ideal for many CCTV systems, routers, LED strip lights, and other small electronic devices. Verify your device's power input specifications before use.

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Store the cable in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, which can damage internal wiring.
