Product Description
A single 12V 5A mains PSU with an 8-way DC splitter built into the housing — one unit, one socket, up to eight DC outputs for cameras or LED runs.
Key specs
- Output: 12V DC, 5A total (combined across all 8 ways, not per output)
- Splitter: 8-way DC splitter integrated into the PSU housing
- Mains connection: UK 3-pin plug with kettle lead (IEC mains cable) supplied
- Packaging: Boxed, retail-ready
Load planning
The 5A rating is a shared budget across all eight outputs, not per channel. Total the actual current draw of every camera or LED run before wiring in, and factor in the extra current IR LEDs pull at night — undersizing here is a common cause of flickering or dropped images after dark. Long or thin DC cable runs add voltage drop on top of that load, so keep run lengths and cable gauge in mind when placing cameras furthest from the unit.
Where it's used
Suits multi-camera CCTV installs and LED strip jobs where running eight separate plug-top adapters isn't practical — one mains lead in, up to eight short DC leads out to a distribution point near the DVR/NVR or camera cluster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 5A rating per output or total?
Total. The 5A figure is the combined output across all eight ways, so you need to add up every connected camera or LED run's draw and stay under that ceiling.
What's included in the box?
The PSU with its integrated 8-way DC splitter, a UK 3-pin plug, and a kettle lead (IEC mains cable), boxed for retail.
Why might a camera flicker or lose image at night on this supply?
IR LEDs draw more current at night, and if the combined load is close to the 5A ceiling or the cable run is long, voltage drop can cause flickering or a black screen — check total load and cable length first.
Can this run LED strips as well as CCTV cameras?
Yes, it's suited to both CCTV and 12V LED strip installations, provided the combined current draw across all eight outputs stays within the 5A total.
