DELOCK DC extension cable 5.5 x 2.5 mm plug to socket with bayonet lock, 18 AWG, 0.5 m, black

DELOCK DC extension cable 5.5 x 2.5 mm plug to socket with bayonet lock, 18 AWG, 0.5 m, black is a short, robust cable designed to extend DC power connections for low-voltage devices. It features a standard 5.5 x 2.5 mm male plug and corresponding female socket with an integrated bayonet locking mechanism to secure the connection. The cable uses 18 AWG conductors and a flexible black outer jacket suitable for typical indoor electronics setups.

Advantages

This extension cable provides a secure mechanical connection thanks to the bayonet lock that reduces the risk of accidental disconnection. The 18 AWG conductors offer adequate current capacity for many small devices such as cameras, routers and LED strips. At 0.5 m length the cable is compact and minimizes excess slack while enabling easier placement of connected equipment. The black jacket delivers standard insulation and protection for everyday indoor use.

Suitable for

• Extending power to CCTV cameras and surveillance equipment
• Powering routers, modems and small network devices
• Connecting LED strips, lighting controllers and low-voltage lighting
• Temporary or permanent indoor power extensions for consumer electronics

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for low-voltage DC applications and is not suitable for mains voltage or high-power equipment that require thicker conductors or specialized connectors. The 0.5 m length is relatively short; applications requiring long cable runs or in-wall installation may need a different product. The standard black jacket is intended for ordinary indoor environments and may not provide the chemical, UV or extreme temperature resistance required for harsh outdoor installations.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 5.5 x 2.5 mm male plug to matching female socket with bayonet lock
• Conductor size: 18 AWG
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: black
• Application: DC power extension for low-voltage devices

How to use

Align the 5.5 x 2.5 mm plug with the device socket and insert fully, then engage the bayonet lock according to the connector’s locking action to secure the connection. Connect the female socket to the power adapter or source with the matching male plug attached, ensuring correct polarity before powering the system. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or crushing, and keep it away from heat sources and moving parts. For permanent or concealed installations consult applicable local electrical guidelines.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your device uses a 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC connector and that polarity matches between plug and power source
• Verify that 18 AWG conductor size meets current requirements of your device
• Consider whether 0.5 m length is sufficient for your setup or if a longer extension is required
• Check whether the bayonet lock type is compatible with your existing connector or mounting situation

Usage recommendations

Use this DELOCK DC extension cable for indoor low-voltage applications where a secure, short-range power extension is required. Regularly inspect the connectors for wear and ensure connections remain tight; replace the cable if insulation or connectors show damage.
