Description

This DC barrel jack male-female extension cable is a universal low-voltage power extension solution for a wide range of DC-powered electronic devices. It solves the common problem of insufficient power adapter cable length, allowing users to extend the distance between a DC power supply and the end device without modifying the original equipment. It is widely used in security surveillance, smart home installations, LED lighting systems, networking equipment, portable electronics and industrial control setups.

The cable is available in the most widely used DC barrel connector sizes, including 5.5×2.1mm, 5.5×2.5mm and 3.5×1.35mm, covering the majority of consumer and commercial DC device interfaces. The male plug inserts into the device or female power port, while the female jack accepts a standard DC male plug from the power adapter. This plug-and-play design requires no wiring or modification, making installation fast and simple for both professional installers and end users.

Internally, the cable uses high-purity copper conductors for stable conductivity and low voltage drop even over longer runs. Multiple wire gauge options are available: 22AWG for short-distance extensions of low-power devices, 20AWG for general-purpose CCTV and router applications, and 18AWG for longer cable runs or higher-power LED and industrial equipment. All versions are designed for low-voltage DC operation and are rated for typical 12V and 24V DC power systems.

Both connector ends are fully molded with integrated strain relief structures, which distribute bending stress at the cable root and protect internal wires from breakage caused by frequent plugging, pulling and installation movement. The outer PVC jacket provides good abrasion resistance and flexibility, suitable for indoor routing and sheltered outdoor installations. For permanent outdoor use, it is recommended to route the cable through conduit or a weatherproof enclosure for extended service life.

This extension cable is universally compatible with most devices using matching DC barrel jacks, including CCTV security cameras, DVR / NVR systems, wireless routers, access points, LED strip lights, LED drivers, access control devices, small monitors, desk fans, digital peripherals and more. Standard lengths range from 0.3m for short adapter connections up to 10m for long-distance building wiring. For bulk OEM orders, we support custom connector sizes, wire gauges, cable lengths, jacket colors, polarity markings, logo printing and private-label packaging.

FAQ

Q: What is a DC barrel jack male-female extension cable used for?

A: It is used to extend the distance between a DC power adapter and a DC-powered device, such as CCTV cameras, LED strips, routers and security equipment, when the original power cable is too short.

Q: What connector sizes are available?

A: We offer the most common sizes including 5.5×2.1mm, 5.5×2.5mm and 3.5×1.35mm. Custom sizes are available for bulk orders.

Q: Can I use this for 12V and 24V devices?

A: Yes, it is designed for low-voltage DC applications and is suitable for 12V, 24V and other common DC voltage systems within the current rating.

Q: What is the difference between 18AWG, 20AWG and 22AWG?

A: 18AWG has thicker conductors, supports higher current and longer runs with less voltage drop. 20AWG is standard for most CCTV and router use. 22AWG is for short, low-power extensions.

Q: Is this cable waterproof for outdoor use?

A: The standard PVC version is suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use. For fully exposed outdoor installations, we recommend using conduit or a weatherproof enclosure.

Q: What devices is this compatible with?

A: It works with most devices using a matching DC barrel jack, including CCTV cameras, DVR/NVRs, routers, LED strips, access control systems, small monitors and desk fans.

Q: Do you support custom orders?

A: Yes, we support custom connector sizes, wire gauges, cable lengths, jacket colors, polarity markings, logo printing and private-label packaging for bulk OEM orders.
