  • Convenient 3ft length provides flexible placement for surveillance accessories

5.5x2.1mm DC power pigtail for low-voltage projects

This 3-foot pigtail adds a molded female barrel jack to any 5 V, 12 V or 24 V device. The 18 AWG copper conductors are pre-stripped and tinned for immediate soldering or terminal connection. Center-positive polarity matches the majority of CCTV cameras and LED strip controllers. The black PVC jacket protects the wires during routing.

Fits into custom wiring without a power supply

The bare-wire end connects directly to screw terminals, wire nuts or a solder joint on the target board. No additional adapter is required when the source already uses a 5.5 mm plug. The one-meter length keeps the jack close to the device while allowing flexible cable management. Installers can terminate the flying leads inside a junction box or enclosure.

Handles typical surveillance and LED loads

18 AWG copper carries the current needed for most 12 V cameras and 24 V strip runs without excessive voltage drop. The molded jack resists strain at the connector interface during repeated mating cycles. The pigtail is not suited for high-current applications beyond the rating of 18 AWG wire or for voltages above 24 V.

Questions about this item

How much current can the 18AWG copper wire handle continuously before it becomes the limiting factor?

The pigtail uses 18AWG copper conductors with a PVC jacket; ampacity depends on installation conditions and applicable wiring codes, so consult local regulations for the safe continuous rating.

Will the cable get hot or stiff when powering a 12V LED strip all day?

18AWG copper with PVC insulation is designed for low-voltage DC runs; at typical LED strip currents the temperature rise is minimal and the jacket remains flexible.

What do I need on the other end to connect this female barrel jack to my power supply?

The pigtail terminates in bare, pre-stripped and tinned wires ready for soldering, terminal blocks or wire nuts to a matching 5.5x2.1mm male plug or supply leads.
