Power versatility is one of the most valuable advantages you can build into a production setup. The Rolux RL-C6 DC 5.5×2.1 to 4-Pin D-Tap Cable is designed for creators who want the freedom to power D-Tap-compatible accessories from a compact DC source. With its simple yet effective design, the RL-C6 provides a reliable connection that supports a wide range of professional video equipment.
For filmmakers working on gimbals, handheld rigs, or lightweight field setups, this cable offers an easy way to expand their power options without adding unnecessary bulk.
DC Tap to D-Tap: A Practical Conversion for Accessory Power
Many small power supplies—such as regulated DC adapters, compact battery banks, and lightweight power hubs—use the 5.5 × 2.1 × 10 DC interface. Meanwhile, most cinema-grade accessories rely on the 4-pin D-Tap connector, a long-standing industry standard for powering gear.
The RL-C6 bridges these two formats, enabling you to:
- Use DC power sources to drive D-Tap devices
- Integrate lightweight power solutions with heavier cinema accessories
- Minimize dependence on large batteries when portability matters
This makes the RL-C6 especially valuable in setups where flexibility and mobility are priorities.
Perfect for On-the-Go Production Setups
The RL-C6 supports a wide range of shooting scenarios, including:
- Compact monitor rigs
- Wireless video transmitters and receivers
- Portable LED lights
- Accessory power on gimbals or stabilizers
- Travel-friendly documentary kits
By allowing you to power D-Tap equipment from a single DC source, the cable helps reduce battery-swapping downtime and streamlines your on-set workflow.
Built for Reliability in Real Production Conditions
Film environments can be demanding, and power accessories must be able to withstand constant handling. The RL-C6 is constructed with durability in mind, featuring:
- A stable 5.5×2.1 DC connector
