InLine DC extension cable, DC male/female 5.5x2.5mm, AWG 18, black 5m

The InLine DC extension cable 5.5x2.5mm AWG 18 black 5m is a 5‑metre black extension lead with 5.5 x 2.5 mm male/female DC connectors designed to extend low-voltage DC power lines. It supports a nominal input voltage of 12 V and a continuous current up to 11.6 A, and is intended for use with devices that accept standard 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC plugs.

Advantages

This extension cable uses AWG 18 conductors to provide low voltage drop over the 5 m length, features standard 5.5 x 2.5 mm connectors for wide compatibility, and comes in a durable black jacket for everyday use. The cable’s specifications (12 V, 11.6 A) make it suitable for many common DC-powered devices while maintaining reliable electrical performance.

Suitable for

• Extending power to CCTV cameras and surveillance equipment
• Powering LED strips, LED drivers, and small lighting systems
• Supplying power to routers, modems and other network devices with 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC jacks
• Connecting external power supplies to consumer electronics that use 5.5 x 2.5 mm plugs

How to use

Plug the male 5.5 x 2.5 mm connector into the device or power adapter output and insert the female end into the device requiring power, ensuring correct polarity. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on connectors. Verify that the connected device’s voltage and current requirements do not exceed the cable’s rated 12 V and 11.6 A before use.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep the cable away from heat sources and sharp objects, secure connectors to prevent accidental disconnection, and avoid using the cable for loads exceeding 11.6 A or voltages higher than 12 V. Regularly inspect the cable and connectors for damage and replace if any insulation or contact wear is detected.
