The Alvins Cables D-tap to DC 2.1 Coiled Cable is a compact, space-saving solution designed to power field monitors, compact video recorders, and camera accessories directly from V-mount or Gold-mount batteries. Engineered specifically for high-draw production gear requiring a standard DC 5.5 x 2.1mm connection—such as Atomos Ninja/Shogun monitors, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras, and SmallHD displays—this cable ensures stable power delivery without added weight or cable clutter. Its flexible coiled design provides clean, tension-free routing on camera cages, shoulder rigs, and gimbals.
High Speed HDMI 2.1 for Optimal Performance:
Designed to handle demanding DC voltage requirements, the D-tap to DC 2.1 Coiled Power cable transfers power cleanly from high-capacity battery plates to your essential video gear. It delivers reliable power pass-through to high-brightness field monitors and 4K recorders, eliminating power drops and ensuring uninterrupted monitoring and recording during critical shoots.

Equipped with a standard 5.5 x 2.1mm DC barrel connector, this cable offers seamless compatibility with a broad range of production equipment. It provides direct, reliable power to devices equipped with standard DC barrel jacks, removing the need for bulky dummy batteries or temporary power solutions.
Compact Design for Tidy Connections:
The flexible coiled layout extends when extra reach is required and automatically retracts to fit snug against your camera rig. This prevents loose cable loops from catching on gear or interfering with gimbal axis motors, maintaining a clean, professional camera setup while reducing mechanical strain on sensitive DC power ports.
