A 5.5*2.1mm 1 Female to 2 Male DC power splitter adapter cable allows you to power two electronic devices from a single power source, like an AC adapter. It is commonly used for low-voltage applications with devices that use a 5.5mm outer and 2.1mm inner diameter barrel plug.
Features:
- 1 female input and 2 male outputs: The single female end connects to the power adapter, and the two male plugs connect to the devices you are powering.
- 5.5mm x 2.1mm compatibility: The cable is only compatible with devices that use this specific size of DC barrel plug. It will not work with other sizes.
- Voltage range: These cables are suitable for a range of voltages, typically between 5V and 24V DC.
- Material: The cables are generally made with a plastic (PVC) outer jacket and pure copper wiring inside, which allows for good conductivity and secure connections.
Applications:
The splitter cable is a convenient and cost-effective way to power multiple devices without needing extra wall adapters. Typical applications include:
- CCTV security systems: Powering two or more cameras from a single power supply.
- LED lighting: Connecting multiple LED light strips or signs to one power source.
- Other low-voltage devices: Powering routers, switches, DVRs, external hard drives, or other electronics.
Important considerations:
Before using a DC splitter cable, you must ensure that your power source can handle the load. To avoid overheating or damage, follow these guidelines:
- Match voltage: Confirm that all devices and the power supply have the same voltage requirements.
- Check current draw: The power adapter’s maximum current (Amperage) must be greater than the combined current draw of all devices connected to the splitter. Some splitter cables have a maximum current rating, such as 3A or 10A, which you must not exceed.
- Do not use for high-power devices: The cable is intended for low-voltage electronics. Using it with high-power equipment can be a fire hazard.
- Avoid data transmission: DC power cables are for supplying power only and do not support data transmission.
- Measure carefully: Before purchasing, double-check the inner and outer diameters of your device’s barrel plug to ensure it matches the 5.5mm x 2.1mm size.
