Product Description
A 50cm female DC pigtail extends a power run between a PSU and a camera. It uses the common 5.5mm OD x 2.1mm ID barrel size, and the female end accepts a male DC plug from a camera's own pigtail or adaptor.
Why the 50cm length
Longer than the standard short lead, this reach suits junction box-to-camera wiring or PSU distribution panels in a rack, where a shorter pigtail won't stretch far enough.
Key specs
- Connector: female 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel, accepts a male DC plug
- Wire: 18-20AWG, red positive centre / black negative barrel
- Rating: 12-24VDC, 2A max — a single camera or short parallel feeds from a rack-mount PSU
- Lead length: 50cm
- Wire ends: pre-stripped, ready for crimp, solder or Wago termination
- Insulation: PVC, for indoor/outdoor use within IP65+ enclosures and conduit runs
Where it fits
Use it to bridge a camera pigtail or adaptor plug back to a centralised supply, alongside siamese video/power cable or a DC bus in an NVR rack. Colour coding keeps polarity clear during installation, which matters since reversed polarity can damage a camera.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the female end connect to?
It accepts a male DC plug from a camera's pigtail or adaptor, so the barrel end mates with that plug rather than a jack.
Are both ends pre-stripped?
No — only the wire leads at the free end are pre-stripped; the other end is the female 5.5x2.1mm barrel connector.
What power can this pigtail carry?
It's rated 12-24VDC at 2A max, enough for a single camera load or a short parallel feed from a rack-mount PSU.
Why choose the 50cm length over a shorter pigtail?
The extra reach suits junction box-to-camera wiring or PSU distribution layouts in a rack where a shorter lead won't reach.
