10 Male and 10 Female 12v DC Power Jack Adapter Connector for Led Strip CCTV Camera
I have used these types of power jacks for years now. Best low voltage connector for the price. From 5 or 12 VDC LED strip lighting to 12 volt video cameras and both used indoors and outdoors. Works great supplying power to my arduino’s too I usually use 18 gauge / 2 conductor cables, however on long camera power runs I used 14/2. Stranded cable gets a good bite in the terminals compared to solid cable. Just use care when using stranded so a loose strand doesn’t cross over and cause shorts. I found it best when used outside to wrap the connectors with some electrical tape to prevent them from pulling out and to keep moisture out. They last longer that way if protected a bit. Worst connector I saw after a year or so outside without protecting it was the screw terminals were corroded and rusty; as were the cable conductors. Camera connected to it was flaking out and the power to it was the problem. I just removed the used one and cut back the wiring to fresh copper and installed a new one in no time at all.Use these to place your cameras where YOU want them. Just remember to upsize your power supplies amperage and utilize larger gauge cabling for long runs due to voltage drop. Do not use these with AC.
