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 (5.5mm x 2.1mm).

Can I use this cable for my laptop?

This cable is rated for low-wattage appliances up to 60 watts. Most laptops require more power than this. Please check your laptop's power adapter specifications before use.

What is the maximum wattage this cable can support?

The cable is rated for a maximum of 60 watts (60VA).

What is the cable length?

The cable length is 3 meters.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

The cable is designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may damage the cable and connectors.

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

Check the power input specifications on your device or consult its user manual. Look for the DC input jack size, which should be 5.5mm x 2.1mm. It's always best to refer to the device manufacturer's recommendations.

What does 'coax type' cable mean?

Coax type in this context refers to the construction of the power cable, typically having a central conductor surrounded by insulation and an outer shield or jacket, similar in structure to coaxial data cables.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on after connecting the extension cable.

Ensure the male end of the extension cable is fully inserted into the original power adapter's output connector and the female end of the extension cable is securely connected to the device's power input. Verify that both the power adapter and the device are functioning correctly on their own. Double-check that the device does not exceed the 60W rating of the cable.

Intermittent power or connection issues.

Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the connectors are clean and free from obstructions. Try wiggling the connectors gently to see if the connection is loose; if so, the cable may need replacement.

Cable feels warm during use.

If the cable becomes excessively hot, immediately disconnect the power. This may indicate the connected device is drawing more than 60 watts, or there is a fault in the cable. Do not use the cable if it feels dangerously hot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the kenable DC Power Extension Cable, simply plug the male connector of the extension cable into the female DC power socket of your existing power cable. Then, plug the female socket of the extension cable into the DC input of your device (e.g., CCTV camera or appliance).

Compatibility: This cable features a 5.5mm outer barrel diameter and a 2.1mm inner pin. It is crucial to verify that your device and existing power supply use this specific connector size. Many CCTV systems use this configuration, but variations exist (e.g., 5.5mm x 2.5mm). Always check your device manufacturer's specifications before purchasing to ensure a correct fit. The cable is rated for a maximum of 60 watts (60VA).

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Store the cable in a dry place when not in use. Avoid bending the cable sharply or exposing it to excessive heat or moisture.
