Black Box ACR1000-12V5-CBL3M Central Power HUB Power Converter Cable
Overview
The Black Box ACR1000-12V5-CBL3M is a 3-meter (9.8-foot) power converter cable designed to step down a 12 VDC input to a stable 5 VDC output. This cable is critical for installations where a 12V power source is readily available, but the connected device requires a 5V input. It ensures proper voltage for sensitive electronics, preventing damage from overvoltage and enabling deployment of 5V devices in environments with only 12V power infrastructure.
Compatibility
This converter cable is specifically engineered for devices requiring a 5 VDC power input. It is compatible with any system or device that accepts a 12 VDC input and has a standard power connector suitable for the attached 5V output. It is commonly used to power USB-powered devices, certain network accessories, or specific camera models from a 12V power distribution block or vehicle power system.
Installation Notes
Connect the input end of the cable to a regulated 12 VDC power source. Ensure the polarity is correct to avoid damage. The output end provides a regulated 5 VDC. The 3-meter length offers flexibility in routing the cable between the power source and the 5V device. Verify the current draw of the 5V device does not exceed the converter's capacity (typically rated for devices drawing up to 2A, though specific device requirements should always be checked).
