InLine DC extension cable, DC male/female 5.5x2.1mm, AWG 18, black 3m

InLine DC extension cable 5.5x2.1mm AWG 18 black 3m is a 3-metre black extension lead with 5.5 x 2.1 mm male and female DC connectors. Designed for low-voltage DC applications, it carries up to 12 V and a maximum current of 11.6 A and extends the reach of compatible power supplies and devices.

Advantages

The cable uses AWG 18 conductors for reliable current carrying capacity and reduced voltage drop over the 3 m length. Standard 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC connectors ensure compatibility with many power adapters and devices. Its black PVC jacket provides basic mechanical protection and easy visual integration with typical AV and electronic equipment.

Suitable for

• Extending DC power from 12 V adapters to cameras and CCTV equipment
• Powering LED strips, routers, and small networking devices
• Connecting external power supplies to small appliances and audio/video equipment

How to use

Connect the female end of the extension cable to the male DC plug of the power adapter and insert the male end into the DC input socket of the device. Ensure connector polarity matches the device requirements and that the adapter’s voltage and current ratings are appropriate. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this cable only within the specified voltage and current limits. Inspect connectors for damage before use and avoid exposure to water or excessive heat. For installations requiring permanent or outdoor wiring, consider using cables and connectors rated for outdoor use and professional installation.
