Product Information

Full details

This 3-meter Kenable DC Power Extension Lead Cable is designed for users needing to extend existing 2.1mm DC power connections, particularly for CCTV equipment. Its primary benefit is providing flexible placement options for your devices. A potential caveat is its specific 2.1mm connector size, which may not be compatible with all power supplies.

FAQs

What is the exact size of the DC barrel connector?

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

Can I use this cable with a 9V power adapter?

Yes, as long as the power adapter has a 2.1mm DC plug and its amperage rating does not exceed 6.25A, it is compatible with this extension cable. The cable itself does not regulate voltage, it simply extends the connection.

What is the maximum amperage this cable can handle?

The cable supports a maximum power of 75VA, which translates to 12V at 6.25A. Ensure your power supply does not exceed these ratings.

Is this cable suitable for digital audio equipment?

While the cable is designed for DC power, its suitability for sensitive digital audio equipment depends on the specific requirements of the audio device. For standard CCTV and similar electronics, it is ideal. Always check your device's power specifications.

Can I cut and re-terminate the cable to a different length?

While technically possible, cutting and re-terminating the cable may compromise its integrity and is not recommended. The moulded ends are designed for secure, long-term connections. Attempting to modify the cable may void any warranty and could lead to unreliable connections or power issues.

Does this cable support center-positive or center-negative polarity?

This cable is a passive extension and will maintain the polarity of the original power adapter. Most CCTV equipment uses center-positive polarity, but it's essential to verify your device's requirements.

Troubleshooting

Device not receiving power after connecting the extension cable.

Ensure the power adapter's plug is fully and securely inserted into the extension cable's socket. Verify the extension cable's plug is securely inserted into the device. Check that the power adapter is functioning correctly by connecting it directly to the device (if possible). Confirm the power adapter's output (Volts/Amps) does not exceed the cable's rating (12V/6.25A).

Intermittent power or flickering device operation.

Check all connection points for looseness or debris. Ensure the cable is not under strain or being pulled. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. The issue might stem from the power adapter itself or the device; test with a different, known-good power adapter if possible.

Cable connector does not fit.

Verify that your device requires a 2.1mm DC barrel connector. This cable is specifically designed for 2.1mm plugs/sockets. If your device uses a different size (e.g., 5.5mm x 2.5mm), this cable will not be compatible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides significant reach (3 meters) for flexible device placement.
  • Features a common 2.1mm DC socket compatible with many devices.
  • Moulded ends offer a secure and durable connection.
  • Supports adequate power for typical CCTV installations (up to 75VA/12V 6.25A).

Cons

  • Connector size is specific (2.1mm) and may not fit devices with different DC input sizes.
  • Limited to DC power applications; not suitable for AC power.
  • Requires an existing 2.1mm DC power plug to connect to.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the 2.1mm DC output plug from your power adapter.
  2. Connect this plug firmly into the female socket end of the Kenable DC Power Extension Lead.
  3. Connect the male plug end of the extension lead into the DC power input socket of your device (e.g., CCTV equipment).
  4. Ensure both connections are secure.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is designed for 2.1mm DC barrel connectors (center positive is standard for most CCTV, but verify your device's requirement).
  • It is compatible with power adapters that output up to 12V and 6.25A, with a maximum power rating of 75VA.
  • Not suitable for AC power or different DC barrel sizes (e.g., 5.5mm x 2.5mm).

Care:

  • Keep the cable and its connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Do not expose the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable that could damage the internal wiring.
