Product Information

Full details

The Loops DC Power Extension Cable is an essential solution for homeowners and security installers who need to bridge the gap between a power outlet and their electronic equipment. Ideal for CCTV cameras, DVR systems, and other low-current devices, this 10-meter cable provides the necessary reach to hide power sources away from your surveillance hardware. While it excels at extending reach in static setups, users must ensure their equipment specifically requires a 5.5mm x 2.1mm connection, as it is incompatible with 3.5mm sockets or high-draw electronics exceeding 0.4A.

FAQs

Can I use this for high-power appliances?

No. This cable is rated for a maximum of 0.4A and is intended for low-current devices like CCTV cameras and DVRs.

Is this cable weather-resistant?

It features a durable PVC jacket, but it is not rated for permanent outdoor exposure; ensure connectors remain dry and protected.

Can I join two of these cables together?

While technically possible, daisy-chaining multiple cables can result in voltage drop and reduced performance. It is recommended to use one continuous cable run.

What is the maximum voltage supported?

The cable supports a maximum voltage of 20V.

Will this work with a 3.5mm power port?

No, this cable is specifically designed for 5.5mm x 2.1mm connectors.

Troubleshooting

Device is not receiving power

Verify the connection is firmly seated at both ends and check that the device power requirements do not exceed 0.4A.

Plug does not fit the device

Confirm that your device utilizes a 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel jack; this cable is not compatible with 3.5mm sockets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 10m length provides excellent versatility for room-spanning installations
  • Durable PVC jacket offers reliable protection in various environments
  • Plug-and-play design allows for quick installation without tools
  • Integrated strain relief extends the product lifespan by reducing connector stress

Cons

  • Not compatible with devices using 3.5mm power jacks
  • Limited to low-current devices under 0.4A
  • Requires careful cable management over 10m to avoid tripping hazards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply connect the male end of your existing power adapter into the female socket of the extension cable, and plug the male end of the extension cable into your device. Ensure the connection is secure and verify that your device requires a 5.5mm x 2.1mm plug. To maintain the cable, avoid sharp bends or pinching the cord under heavy furniture, as this can degrade the internal wiring over time. If routing through walls or around doorways, use cable clips to prevent tension on the connectors.
