FAQs

What is the exact connector size of this cable?

This cable features a 5.5mm outer barrel diameter and a 2.1mm inner pin diameter for the DC power connection.

Can I use this cable for my laptop?

This cable is designed for low-wattage appliances up to 60W and typically uses a 5.5mm x 2.1mm connector. Most laptops require higher wattage and may have different connector types. Please check your laptop's power adapter specifications before use.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor CCTV cameras?

If the outdoor CCTV camera uses a 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC power input and its power consumption is within the 60W limit, this cable can be used. However, ensure proper weather protection for the connections if exposed to the elements.

What is the maximum power rating for this cable?

The cable is rated for a maximum of 60 watts (60W) or 60 volt-amperes (60VA).

How do I know if this cable is compatible with my device?

Verify that your device's power input port matches a 5.5mm outer barrel and a 2.1mm inner pin. Also, check that the device's power consumption does not exceed 60W. Consulting your device's manual or manufacturer is highly recommended.

What does 'Moulded ends' mean?

Moulded ends refer to the connectors being formed directly onto the cable during manufacturing. This creates a strong, integrated connection that is less prone to breaking or separation compared to crimped or otherwise attached connectors.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on after connecting the cable.

Check that all connections are secure at both ends. Verify that the power adapter is functioning and providing adequate power. Confirm that the device's power requirement does not exceed the cable's 60W rating. Double-check that the connector size (5.5mm x 2.1mm) is correct for both the adapter and the device.

Intermittent power or flickering on the connected device.

Ensure the molded ends are fully seated and making a firm connection. Inspect the cable for any signs of damage. If the issue persists, the power adapter or device may be at fault, or the device's power draw might be too close to the 60W limit, causing instability.

Cable feels warm during use.

This may indicate the device is drawing close to the 60W maximum. Monitor the temperature; slight warmth is normal, but excessive heat suggests the device may be exceeding the cable's capacity. Disconnect immediately if it becomes too hot to touch and consider a higher-rated cable or a different power solution.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides significant extension for DC power cables.
  • Specifically suited for common CCTV power connector types.
  • Molded connectors ensure a stable and durable connection.
  • Supports up to 60W, making it suitable for a range of small electronics.
  • Simple plug-and-play functionality.

Cons

  • Connector size (5.5mm x 2.1mm) is specific and not universal.
  • Not suitable for high-power devices exceeding 60W.
  • Requires careful verification of compatibility with the connected device.
  • Cable length is fixed and may not suit all extension needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the power source (adapter) and the device to be powered have compatible DC barrel connectors (5.5mm outer diameter, 2.1mm inner pin).
  2. Plug the female end of the extension cable into your existing DC power adapter cable.
  3. Plug the male end of the extension cable into the power input port of your device.
  4. Verify the device powers on and functions correctly.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Use: CCTV equipment with 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC power input.
  • Other Uses: Low-wattage appliances (up to 60W) that use a 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel connector.
  • Important: Always check the specifications of your device and its power adapter to confirm the connector size (outer barrel and inner pin diameter) before purchase. Not all DC power extensions are the same.

Care:

  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Store in a dry environment when not in use.
  • Do not expose to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
