Description
This D-Tap to DC barrel power cable provides a dedicated power connection for Mars M1 monitor transmitter and receiver units. It converts a professional D-Tap battery output to a 12 VDC barrel connector so field batteries can power your Mars M1 equipment. The cable is intended for professional AV and broadcast use where reliable external battery power is required.
The cable features a right-angle D-Tap male connector on one end and a DC barrel male connector on the other end. It supports an input voltage range of 7 to 16 VDC which covers common battery outputs used in camera and monitor systems. The straight cable construction provides a simple, low-profile power link between battery and device.
Technical performance centers on safe voltage compatibility and secure connector mating. The cable does not include any LED indicators or active electronics, minimizing points of failure. It transfers raw DC power and is suitable for nominal 12 V devices that accept a standard barrel connector in the stated voltage range.
Connectivity is simple: the right-angle D-Tap plugs into a compatible V-mount or Gold mount battery plate or distribution block. The DC barrel end inserts into the Mars M1 power input or any device using the same barrel size and polarity. No additional adapters or power supplies are required when used with compatible batteries.
This cable is commonly used in field production, ENG, and studio workflows where hot-swappable battery power is needed. It’s suitable for powering Mars M1 transmitter/receiver units during run-and-gun shoots, multi-camera setups, and remote monitoring stations. The direct D-Tap interface helps streamline power management on location and reduce cable clutter.
Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools or configuration. The cable’s connectors are robustly constructed to withstand repeated mating cycles, and the straight cable routing allows flexible placement. Overall the design offers a reliable, no-frills solution for powering compatible 12 V devices from professional battery sources.
