Product Information

Full details

The Kenable DC Power Extension Cable is designed for DIYers and technicians looking to extend the reach of their CCTV systems or low-wattage household appliances. It offers a reliable 0.5-meter reach with robust moulded ends to ensure a consistent power flow; however, users must exercise caution to confirm their device specifically requires a 2.1mm inner pin rather than a 2.5mm variant to avoid connection failures.

FAQs

Will this work with a 2.5mm DC port?

No, this cable is specifically designed for 2.1mm inner pins. A 2.1mm plug will be too loose in a 2.5mm port and will not provide a stable connection.

Can I chain multiple cables together?

While technically possible, it is not recommended as it increases resistance and voltage drop, which may cause your device to malfunction or the connectors to overheat.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

This cable is designed for general use. It is not rated for weatherproofing, so it should be protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

What is the maximum wattage this cable can handle?

The cable supports a maximum power rating of 60W/60VA.

Is this a straight or angled connector?

This cable features straight-to-straight connectors at both ends.

Troubleshooting

Device is not receiving power

Confirm that the extension cable is fully inserted into both the power supply and the device. Verify that the device uses a 2.1mm pin, not a 2.5mm pin.

Connection feels loose

Ensure that there is no debris inside the female port of the device. If the issue persists, the device's internal port may be worn.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable moulded connector construction
  • Compact 0.5m length ideal for reducing cable clutter
  • Supports up to 60W of power
  • Straight-to-straight connector design fits most recessed ports

Cons

  • Limited to 0.5m length
  • Incompatible with 2.5mm inner pin devices
  • Not intended for high-voltage or AC power applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this cable, simply insert the male end into your existing power supply and the female end into your device. Before connecting, always verify the pin size of your device using a digital caliper or by checking the manufacturer's manual. Using this on a 2.5mm port may result in an intermittent connection or sparking. To care for the cable, avoid bending the wire at sharp 90-degree angles near the moulded connectors, and keep the cable away from high-heat sources to prevent insulation degradation.
