HDCQ6W 6 ft White DC Power Extension Cable adds reach to compatible low-voltage DC power connections using standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm male and female barrel connectors. Built with 20 AWG copper conductors inside a white UL 2464 jacket, this 6-foot inline extension cord is ideal for CCTV security cameras, LED strip lights, routers, audio gear, and 12V or 24V power supplies.

Important: HDCQ6W is a passive inline extension cable. It does not convert voltage, regulate current, or reverse polarity. Always confirm source voltage, load requirements, polarity, and connector dimensions before installation.

Technical Specifications

  • Model: HDCQ6W
  • Product Type: DC power extension cable
  • Connector Size: 2.1mm inside diameter x 5.5mm outside diameter (2.1 x 5.5mm)
  • Connector Configuration: Female DC barrel jack to male DC barrel plug
  • Cable Length: 6 feet (1.8 meters)
  • Wire Gauge: 20 AWG stranded copper
  • Cable Color: White
  • Jacket Rating: UL 2464 component cable
  • Electrical Function: Passive pass-through extension (does not alter voltage or polarity)

Common Applications

  • Extend low-voltage DC power adapters for 12V/24V LED strip lighting, display signage, and accent lights.
  • Increase installation flexibility for security cameras (CCTV/IP), DVRs, monitors, wireless routers, sensors, and audio equipment.
  • Maintain a clean aesthetic in white or light-colored residential and commercial environments where black cables stand out.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

  • DC Circuits Only: Designed strictly for low-voltage DC circuits. Do not connect directly to AC mains power.
  • Connector Dimensions: Fits standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel connections. Note: This will not fit 2.5mm x 5.5mm jacks without an adapter.
  • Voltage & Polarity: Pass-through design maintains original adapter polarity (center-positive or center-negative). Always check source requirements prior to powering equipment.
  • Voltage Drop Consideration: For high-amperage loads over extended runs, check total line distance to prevent excessive voltage drop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the HDCQ6W DC extension cable used for?
It extends the distance between a compatible DC power adapter and an electronic device by 6 feet using standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm male-to-female barrel connectors.

What connector size does HDCQ6W use?
It uses a 2.1mm inner diameter and 5.5mm outer diameter DC barrel connection. It is not compatible with 2.5mm x 5.5mm jacks.

Does this cable change voltage or reverse polarity?
No. HDCQ6W is a passive pass-through cable. Voltage, current, and polarity pass straight through unaltered from your power supply to the device.

Is this a standalone power adapter?
No. It requires an existing AC/DC power adapter or low-voltage DC power source to function.
