What this cable does

The LED Updates splitter cable takes a single DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm source and provides two outputs for LED lights, security cameras or similar low-voltage devices. It uses 18 AWG conductors rated for up to 10 Amp power supplies and measures 12 inches in length. The heavy-gauge wire is intended to minimise voltage drop so connected LEDs keep their full brightness.

Who should use it and who should not

This suits installers who need one extra DC branch from an existing adapter and can work with the fixed 12-inch reach. It is not for runs that need more length, more than two outputs, a different barrel size or a higher current rating than 10 Amp. Buyers who want more outputs should look at the 1-to-4 variant instead.

Installation notes

Plug the male end into the power supply and the two female ends into the devices; no tools or soldering are required. The only common issue is the short 12-inch pigtail limiting placement, so measure the distance between the supply and each load before ordering. Ensure the total draw of both devices stays within the 10 Amp limit of the cable.

Questions about this item

What power supply connector does the 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm DC input need to match?

The splitter requires a power supply or driver with a 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm DC output plug to connect correctly.

Can I run two 10 A LED loads simultaneously on the 18 AWG cable?

The cable supports up to 10 A total, so the combined draw of both connected devices must stay at or below 10 A.

How do I confirm the 12 inch splitter is delivering full brightness to both LED lights?

Both lights should illuminate at equal intensity without visible dimming, indicating the 18 AWG wire is minimising voltage drop.
