Product Information

Full details

This Kenable DC Power Extension Cable is designed for users needing to extend their existing 2.5mm power connections, particularly for CCTV equipment. Its primary benefit is offering an additional 5 meters of reach, allowing for flexible placement of devices away from power outlets. A key consideration is its specific 2.5mm socket size, which may not be compatible with all DC power devices. The cable features molded ends for secure connections and uses quality copper conductors for stable power transmission.

FAQs

What is the exact connector size for this cable?

This cable features a 5.5mm x 2.5mm DC socket and plug, which is a common size for many CCTV and other electronic devices.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

No, this cable features a black PVC outer jacket and is designed for indoor installations only. It is not weatherproof.

Will this cable work with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm power adapter?

No, this cable is specifically designed for 5.5mm x 2.5mm connectors. Using it with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm adapter may result in a loose connection or no connection at all.

How does this cable affect power delivery?

The cable uses quality copper conductors to maintain stable voltage transmission over its 5-meter length, minimizing power drop. However, always ensure your original power adapter is rated appropriately for the connected device.

Can I connect multiple extension cables together?

While technically possible, connecting multiple extension cables is not recommended. It can lead to increased voltage drop, potential signal degradation, and introduce more points of failure, which could affect device performance and reliability.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty information for this product, as warranty periods can vary.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on after connecting the extension cable.

Ensure the male plug of your original power adapter is fully inserted into the female socket of the extension cable, and the male plug of the extension cable is fully inserted into the device. Verify that both the original power adapter and the device are functioning correctly by connecting them directly. Check that the device requires a 2.5mm DC input.

Intermittent power or device not working reliably.

Check for loose connections at both ends of the extension cable. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the original power adapter has sufficient wattage for the connected device, as the extension cable should not significantly impact power delivery with its quality conductors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the male end of the Kenable DC Power Extension Cable into the existing female DC power socket of your power adapter. Then, connect the female socket of the extension cable to the male DC power plug of your device. Ensure both connections are snug and secure.

Compatibility: This cable is specifically designed for devices requiring a 5.5 x 2.5mm DC power input. It is crucial to verify that your device and its original power adapter use this specific connector size before purchasing. It is not compatible with other DC power connector sizes.

Care: Keep the cable in a dry environment. Avoid sharp bends or placing heavy objects on the cable to prevent damage to the conductors or insulation. Clean the connectors occasionally with a dry cloth to ensure optimal contact. For indoor use only.
