DC 2.1mm Female Power Connector Socket Plug for CCTV Camera

The 2.1mm DC barrel connector is the standard power connection format for 12V CCTV cameras, LED strips, and many other low-voltage DC devices in the UK. The female socket connector is wired into the end of the power cable from the PSU, presenting a socket that accepts the male plug on the camera’s power input.

In CCTV installations, these female connectors are used when running dedicated power cables from a multi-channel PSU to camera positions where the cable does not arrive with a pre-fitted connector. The connector is wired on site by the installer, typically onto a twin-core power cable routed alongside or separately from the coaxial video cable.

The 2.1mm inner diameter is the standard for 12V CCTV cameras. This inner diameter is the critical dimension: a 2.1mm connector fits the 2.1mm male plug on the camera, while a 2.5mm connector will not engage correctly and a 2.1mm connector will not accept a 2.5mm plug. Confirming the correct dimension before ordering avoids the common mistake of mixing 2.1mm and 2.5mm connectors in an installation.

For CCTV installation engineers across London and the UK who terminate their own camera power cables on site, a supply of 2.1mm female DC connectors is a standard consumable stock item alongside the BNC connector and tool inventory.
