What is a DC Power Cable Assembly?

A DC power cable assembly sometimes referred to as a DC power cord, is an electrical cable used to make a connection between two DC devices or a DC appliance to a DC power source such as a power supply. The cable assembly is terminated at both ends with a DC power connector which can be a plug or a socket (these are sometimes referred to as barrel connectors). One end of the cable is connected to the DC power source and the other end is connected to the equipment that needs to be powered. These plugs or sockets usually have a straight or right angle orientation to allow for design flexibility. This DC power lead cable has a connector at just one end with bare wires at the other. The advantage of this is that one end of the cable to be soldered directly into the equipment which allows for custom installations

Where are DC Power Cables Used?

DC power cable assemblies are commonly used in small to medium-sized electrical appliances such as portable computers and monitors, electronic keyboards, electronic instruments, sound systems and radios
