Keep Your Warranty: No More Cut Power Supplies
Everyone knows the problem: you want to permanently install your new Router or a surveillance IP Camera in your vehicle, but the supplied Power Supply has a fixed connector. The only solution seems to be to cut the cable – and thus risk the device's warranty. With this DC connection cable, that's a thing of the past. You simply plug the barrel connector into your device and securely connect the open ends to your vehicle's electrical system. Your original Power Supply remains untouched, and your warranty is fully preserved.
Secure Connection That Lasts: Thanks to Tinned Cable Ends
When it comes to vehicle Cabling, one thing is paramount: safety. Loose strands or poor contact can lead to intermittent connections and, in the worst case, short circuits. That's why the ends of this cable are not only stripped but also professionally tinned. This finishing firmly bundles the fine copper wires, prevents fraying, and ensures maximum contact surface in the terminal. The result is a permanently secure and wobble-free connection you can rely on.
One Cable for Everything: Universal 5.5 x 2.1mm DC Barrel Connector
The DC barrel connector 5.5 x 2.1mm is the de facto standard for countless small devices. Whether it's WiFi Routers from manufacturers like Teltonika 4G / 5G Routers or ALFA Network, LED lighting, surveillance IP Cameras, or various DIY electronics projects – this connector fits. This makes the cable an extremely versatile accessory for your workshop or vehicle. With 1.5 meters in length, it also offers you enough flexibility for routing and positioning your devices.
Flexible in Use: Perfect for 12V and 24V Vehicle Electrical Systems
Whether you're traveling with a motorhome, van, or boat (12V) or need the cable in a truck or a Yacht / Camper / Motorhome (24V) – this connection cable is designed for both voltage systems. It offers you the freedom to operate your electronics safely and efficiently in various environments. The high-quality insulation and appropriate wire cross-section ensure that your devices are always reliably powered, making it an indispensable part of your mobile Power Supply.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I connect my router in the motorhome directly to the 12V battery with this cable?
Yes, it's perfect for exactly that! You connect the barrel connector to your Router and the open ends directly to your 12V vehicle electrical system. Make sure to pay attention to the correct polarity: the red cable to Plus (+) and the black cable to Minus (-). This Cabling is ideal for your mobile Network.
Will the 5.5/2.1mm plug fit if my device has a 5.5/2.5mm jack?
Unfortunately no, that won't work reliably. The 2.1mm pin of the plug would have too much play in the 2.5mm jack, which can lead to intermittent connections. It's always best to ensure that the dimensions of your plug and the jack match exactly for optimal Cabling and Network Accessories.
Why are the cable ends tinned? Can't I just insert them into the terminal as is?
The tinning is a real quality feature for you. It firmly bundles the fine copper strands, prevents fraying, and ensures maximum contact surface in the terminal. This guarantees you a much safer and more durable connection for your Network Cabling.
My device needs 24V – can I still use your cable for it?
Absolutely! The Cabling itself is easily designed for voltages up to 24V. The only important thing is that your power source, for example, your truck's electrical system, also provides the required 24V and that your end device is designed for it. This supports various Network setups and PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
How do I know which connection is Plus (+) and which is Minus (-)?
It's simple: This Cabling follows the standard assignment. The inner pin is the positive pole (+), connected to the red wire. The outer metal ring is the negative pole (-), connected to the black wire. This way, you can't mix anything up when setting up your Network or connecting PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
What is the cross-section of the wires and how much current can the cable handle?
The Cabling has a cross-section of 2x 0.75mm². This puts you absolutely on the safe side for most common 12V or 24V applications like Routers or IP Cameras. It's easily designed for currents up to approximately 5-7 Amperes, making it suitable for various Network needs.
