Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 1-meter DC power extension cable, featuring a right-angled male connector and a straight female connector, is designed for users needing to extend existing 2.1mm DC power connections, particularly for CCTV equipment. Its primary benefit is the space-saving 90-degree angle which reduces strain and allows for neater installations in tight spaces. A potential consideration is that it specifically uses a 2.1mm socket, so compatibility with 2.5mm connectors should be verified.

FAQs

What is the exact size of the DC barrel connector?

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

Can I use this cable with a 2.5mm DC connector?

No, this cable is specifically designed for 2.1mm connectors and will not properly fit or connect to a 2.5mm DC socket or plug.

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

The cable has a maximum power rating of 75VA, which is equivalent to 12 Volts at 6.25 Amperes.

Can I connect multiple of these cables together to extend the length?

Yes, the male-to-female design allows for chaining multiple compatible extension cables to achieve a longer reach, provided the total power draw remains within the limits of the original power adapter and each individual cable.

Is the right-angled connector on the male or female end?

The right-angled (90-degree) connector is on the male end of the cable.

What devices is this cable typically used for?

It is commonly used for extending power to CCTV cameras, LED light strips, routers, and other 12V DC powered equipment that use a 2.1mm barrel connector.

How do I clean the connectors?

Ensure the cable is unplugged. You can use a dry cloth to remove dust. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but ensure the connectors are completely dry before plugging them back in.

Troubleshooting

No power to the connected device

Check that all connections are secure at both ends. Verify that the power adapter is functioning correctly and providing the correct voltage. Ensure the connected device's power input is a 5.5mm x 2.1mm socket and that the total power draw does not exceed the cable's 75VA rating.

Intermittent power or signal loss

Inspect the cable for any visible damage, kinks, or sharp bends. Ensure the connectors are clean and free from obstructions. Try bypassing the extension cable to confirm if the issue lies with the cable itself or another component.

Cable becomes warm during use

This may indicate the connected device is drawing close to the cable's maximum power rating (75VA / 12V 6.25A). Ensure the power adapter's output does not exceed this rating. If the cable feels excessively hot, disconnect immediately and check for a short circuit or an overloaded connection. Consider a higher-rated cable if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving right-angled design is ideal for tight installations.
  • 1-meter length offers practical flexibility.
  • Suitable for a wide range of 12V DC devices.
  • Durable construction with moulded connectors for reliability.
  • Facilitates neater cable management, reducing clutter.

Cons

  • Specific 2.1mm socket may not fit 2.5mm barrel connectors.
  • Fixed 1-meter length might be too short for some applications.
  • Only extends DC power, not data or other signals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the device requiring power and the existing power adapter are turned off and unplugged.
  2. Connect the male 2.1mm connector of the extension cable to the female socket of your existing DC power cable.
  3. Connect the female 2.1mm socket of the extension cable to the male barrel plug of your power adapter.
  4. Verify that the connection is secure.
  5. Power on your devices.

Compatibility:

  • Connector Size: This cable is specifically designed for 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC barrel connectors. It is compatible with most CCTV cameras, LED strips, routers, and other 12V DC devices that utilize this size connector.
  • Voltage & Amperage: Ensure your power adapter does not exceed the cable's maximum rating of 75VA (equivalent to 12V at 6.25A). Exceeding this rating can lead to overheating and cable damage.
  • Polarity: Standard polarity is assumed. Verify compatibility if your device uses non-standard polarity.

Care:

  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
  • Do not expose the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
