DELOCK DC extension cable 5.5 x 2.5 mm plug to socket with bayonet lock, 18 AWG, 2 m, black

DELOCK DC extension cable 5.5 x 2.5 mm plug to socket with bayonet lock, 18 AWG, 2 m, black extends an existing low-voltage power connection using a standard 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC plug and matching socket. The cable is two metres long and uses 18 AWG conductors to maintain stable power delivery for small electronic devices. A bayonet lock on the connector provides a secure mechanical connection that reduces the risk of accidental disconnection during operation.

Advantages

The cable combines a common 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC interface with a bayonet locking mechanism to ensure a reliable and more vibration-resistant connection compared with non-locking DC extension leads. With 18 AWG wiring and a 2 m length, it provides low-voltage extension suitable for many consumer and professional devices while keeping voltage drop minimal over the specified distance. The black jacket offers discreet installation in many environments.

Suitable for

• Extending power to routers and network equipment placed away from existing power supplies
• Connecting CCTV cameras and surveillance devices that require secure, non-slip DC connections
• Powering LED strips, small amplifiers, and other low-voltage electronics using 5.5 x 2.5 mm plugs
• Temporary or permanent installations where a bayonet lock reduces accidental unplugging

When it may not be suitable

This extension cable is designed for low-voltage DC applications and is not intended for mains AC power or high-current devices that exceed typical consumer 18 AWG limitations. It may not be suitable when connectors other than 5.5 x 2.5 mm are required, or when longer runs are needed that would increase voltage drop beyond acceptable levels for the powered device.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC plug to matching socket with bayonet lock
• Cable conductor gauge: 18 AWG
• Length: 2 m
• Color: black
• Application: low-voltage DC power extension for small electronics

How to use

Inspect both the power supply plug and the device socket to confirm they match the 5.5 x 2.5 mm size. Push the male plug into the female socket and rotate or engage the bayonet mechanism until it locks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; use cable clips or ties to secure it along its path. To disconnect, release the bayonet lock as designed and withdraw the plug. Ensure the power supply is switched off when connecting or disconnecting if recommended by the powered device.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the powered device uses a 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC connector and is compatible with a bayonet locking plug
• Verify that 2 m length and 18 AWG conductor are adequate to limit voltage drop for your device
• Ensure low-voltage DC operation is acceptable; not suitable for mains AC or high-current appliances

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this DELOCK extension cable only with compatible 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC power supplies and devices. Route the cable away from heat sources and sharp edges, secure it to prevent strain on the connectors, and check the bayonet lock regularly in installations subject to vibration.
