Product Description
DC Female Red & Black Power Pigtail 15cm 5.5x2.1mm Barrel Connector
A female 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel connector on 15cm of red/black leads, built to extend or terminate DC power wiring on CCTV runs.
The barrel matches the DC input found on most Hikvision, Dahua and third-party analogue/hybrid cameras running at 12VDC ±10%. Red lead is positive (centre pin), black is negative (barrel) — polarity is clear at a glance, which cuts down reversal errors during install.
Key specs
- Connector: 5.5mm OD x 2.1mm ID female barrel, 11mm plug length
- Lead: 15cm, 18-22AWG, red = positive / black = negative
- Rating: 12-24VDC, 1-2A continuous
- Compatibility: analogue, TVI/AHD/CVI and IP cameras on a central PSU
Fitting it in
Leads are pre-stripped for crimping, soldering or connector-block joins — useful for reaching from a rack PSU to a camera junction box or balun, or joining into a siamese-cable run. On runs up to 50m, pair with 1.5-2.5mm² supply cable to manage voltage drop. Under full camera IR load it holds a stable 1A+ without significant heating.
Suitable for indoor or outdoor use provided it's protected inside a junction box; an IP65+ enclosure is recommended outdoors. The DC Female Red & Black 15cm pigtail is also available in bulk packs for multi-camera installs.
