Product Information

Full details

This kenable DC Power Extension Cable is designed for users needing to extend existing power connections, particularly for CCTV equipment and low-wattage appliances up to 60 watts. Its primary benefit is providing an extra meter of reach with secure, molded connectors. A key caveat is the specific 2.1mm socket size, requiring users to verify compatibility with their device, as other sizes (like 5.5mm outer barrel with 2.1mm or 2.5mm inner pin) are common in the market.

FAQs

What is the maximum wattage this cable can support?

This cable is rated for a maximum of 60 watts (60W/60VA).

What type of DC connector does this cable use?

This cable features a 2.1mm socket designed to accept a compatible DC power plug. It is often used with 5.5mm outer barrel connectors that have a 2.1mm inner pin.

Can I use this cable for my laptop?

This cable is generally not recommended for laptops, as most laptops require higher wattage power adapters and specific connector types that exceed the 60W limit and compatibility of this extension.

Is this cable suitable for all CCTV systems?

It is commonly used for CCTV equipment, but compatibility depends on the specific power connector size (2.1mm socket). Always confirm your CCTV system's power adapter specifications.

What is the cable length?

The cable length is 1 meter.

What is the color of the cable?

The cable is white.

Can I cut and re-terminate the cable ends?

While technically possible, cutting and re-terminating molded ends is not recommended as it can compromise the integrity of the connection and may void any warranty. It is designed for plug-and-play use.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on after connecting the extension cable.

Ensure both ends of the extension cable are securely plugged in. Verify that the device's power adapter is functioning correctly and that the total wattage does not exceed the 60W limit. Double-check that the DC socket size (2.1mm) is compatible with your device.

Intermittent power or connection issues.

Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the connectors are clean and free of debris. Try connecting directly without the extension cable to isolate the issue.

Cable does not fit into the device's power port.

The cable has a 2.1mm socket. If your device requires a different size (e.g., 2.5mm inner pin or a different outer barrel size), this cable will not fit. Consult your device's manual for the correct DC power connector specifications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides extended reach for power cables.
  • Secure connection due to molded ends.
  • Suitable for a range of low-wattage devices.
  • Specifically designed for common CCTV power setups.
  • Offers a simple extension solution.

Cons

  • Only compatible with 2.1mm DC sockets; requires careful verification.
  • Maximum power rating of 60W limits use with higher-power devices.
  • Cable length is fixed at 1 meter, which may not be sufficient for all needs.
  • Single cable type, not suitable for all DC power applications.
  • Molded ends may not be ideal for tight spaces where flexible connections are needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the male end of the extension cable into the female DC power socket of your existing cable, and then plug the female end of the extension cable into the power adapter or the device's power input.

Compatibility: This cable features a 2.1mm socket and is intended for devices that use this specific size. It's crucial to verify that your device uses a 5.5mm outer barrel diameter with a 2.1mm inner pin for the best compatibility, especially with CCTV equipment. Always check your device's manufacturer specifications before purchase to ensure the correct DC plug size.

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable, which can damage the internal wires. Store in a dry place when not in use.
