Product Description
Overview
A 15cm female DC pigtail terminating in a 5.5x2.1mm barrel connector, wired for field extension and termination on CCTV power runs.
Key specs
- Connector: 5.5mm OD x 2.1mm ID female barrel, 11mm plug length
- Lead: 15cm, red (positive) / black (negative) polarity-coded, 18-22AWG
- Rating: 12-24VDC, 1-2A continuous
- Camera compatibility: analogue, TVI/AHD/CVI and IP cameras via central PSU DC output
Install notes
Pre-stripped leads are ready for crimping or soldering, cutting termination time on multi-camera DC runs. Polarity coding (red = positive, black = negative) removes guesswork when extending from a PSU to a camera junction box or balun.
Deployment
Suited to central-PSU architectures where multiple cameras draw DC power from a shared rack or panel — parallel bus layouts and siamese-cable runs are the typical use case referenced for this connector. The 15cm length is intended for internal camera-side wiring rather than long point-to-point runs; extend further using appropriate connectors or crimped joins as needed for the job.
Use where DC barrel-jack cameras sit alongside PoE IP infrastructure and legacy analogue power still needs distributing from a central supply.
