Full details
The Switch Electronics 1.5m DC Extension Lead is designed for homeowners, security professionals, and hobbyists who need to extend the reach of their low-voltage power supplies. Offering a reliable, secure connection with standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm connectors, this cable is an ideal solution for CCTV setups and LED lighting arrays; however, users should ensure their device voltage and polarity match the source, as this cable is designed for power transmission only and does not regulate current.

FAQs
Will this work with my 12V CCTV camera?
Yes, as long as your camera uses a standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm DC power input.
Can I connect multiple extension leads together?
While technically possible, daisy-chaining multiple cables is not recommended as it increases voltage drop and potential connection points for failure.
Is this cable waterproof?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use and should not be exposed to rain or damp environments.
What is the maximum amperage this cable can handle?
This cable is designed for standard low-voltage applications; ensure your device's power draw is within standard limits for 2.1mm barrel connectors.
Does this cable transmit data?
No, this is a dedicated DC power transmission cable and does not support data signals.
What if my device has a 2.5mm input?
This cable will likely be too loose for a 2.5mm port and will not provide a reliable, stable connection.
Troubleshooting
Device connected via extension lead is flickering.
Ensure the barrel connectors are pushed in completely and check for debris inside the socket.
Device will not power on at all.
Verify that your power adapter is working by testing it directly on the device without the extension cable.
Connection feels loose.
Check if the central pin of your device matches the 2.1mm size requirement, as some devices require 2.5mm plugs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Universal 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel compatibility
- Effective 1.5m length for tight cable management
- High-quality construction for stable power flow
- Simple plug-and-play installation
Cons
- Not suitable for high-amperage industrial equipment
- Fixed length cannot be shortened without soldering
- Designed for indoor use only
- No built-in surge protection
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the cable, simply align the male plug of the extension lead with the female input of your device, and the female socket of the lead with your existing power adapter. Ensure the connections are pushed in firmly to prevent flickering. This cable is compatible with most 5V, 9V, and 12V devices that utilize the common 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel standard. To maintain the integrity of the cable, avoid bending the lead at sharp 90-degree angles near the connector heads, as this can weaken the internal wiring over time. Keep the cable away from moisture and extreme heat sources to prolong its service life.
