What this cable connects

This 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm male-to-male DC extension cable carries 12 V power between devices that share the same barrel connector. It suits CCTV cameras, LED strip dimmers, solar panel kits, routers and similar low-voltage equipment. The pack contains three 1.6 ft leads so multiple endpoints can be reached from one supply.

Behaviour under continuous load

An 18 AWG pure-copper conductor keeps resistance low enough for steady currents from 1 A up to 10 A within a 36 V limit. The thickened wire diameter prevents the voltage drop and heating that thinner leads exhibit during prolonged use. Nickel-plated terminals and a high-elasticity PVC sheath maintain contact integrity and insulation through repeated flexing.

What it replaces and when to step up

The cable replaces shorter factory leads or worn-out extensions that no longer make reliable contact. It upgrades installations where the original wire gauge is too thin for the attached load, eliminating overheating risk. Builders who need a different barrel size, a female connector or a length beyond the offered range should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 18AWG copper core overheat when running a 12V camera all day?

The 18AWG pure copper conductors are rated for 1A to 10A continuous current within 36V, so a typical 12V surveillance camera draws well inside that envelope without overheating.

What power source and device must I already have for this male-to-male cable to work?

You need a 12V DC supply with a 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm female jack (centre positive) and a device that accepts the same 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm male plug.

Can I use these 1.6 ft extensions with my older 14AWG or 16AWG DC5525 pigtail cables?

Yes — the 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm male connectors follow the same DC5525 standard, so they mate securely with existing 14AWG or 16AWG pigtails and splitters.
