SBIG 12V DC Extension Cable
The SBIG 12V DC Extension Cable is the official solution for increasing the distance between your SBIG camera and its 12 VDC power source. This cable is offered in two distinct versions to match your specific camera: the 2.7-meter DL-68005 for STF, STT and ST-402 series cameras and the 3.6-meter DL-68007 for Aluma CCD, STC and StarChaser models. Both versions feature secure locking connectors to eliminate the risk of accidental disconnection during a critical imaging session, all backed by a 1-year warranty.
Secure 12V DC Power with Locking Connectors
A loose power connection can ruin an entire night of imaging. This extension cable addresses that critical failure point by using a locking connector at the camera end, which keeps the plug from working loose during an imaging session.
DL-68005 vs. DL-68007: Choosing the Right Cable for Your Camera
SBIG cameras use different power connectors depending on the series. Selecting the correct cable version is essential for compatibility. Refer to this guide to match the cable to your equipment.
-
DL-68005 (2.7 meters): Features a locking barrel connector. This version is designed for the SBIG STF series, STT series, and ST-402 cameras.
-
DL-68007 (3.6 meters): Features a locking DIN connector. This version is designed for the SBIG Aluma CCD series, STC series, and StarChaser cameras.

Which SBIG 12V DC Extension Cable do I need for my STF-8300M camera?
For an SBIG STF-8300M, you need the DL-68005 version. This 2.7-meter cable features the locking barrel connector required for all STF and STT series cameras.
What is the length of the SBIG 12V DC Extension Cable for the Aluma CCD series?
The correct cable for the Aluma CCD series is the DL-68007, which provides a length of 3.6 meters. It uses a locking DIN connector specific to the Aluma CCD, STC, and StarChaser camera lines.
Why does the SBIG 12V DC Extension Cable use a locking connector?
The locking connector is a critical feature that prevents the cable from being accidentally unplugged from the camera. This helps keep 12 VDC power continuous, which matters during long exposures or automated sessions.
Can I use the SBIG 12V DC Extension Cable (DL-68005) with an Aluma CCD camera?
No. The DL-68005 cable has a locking barrel connector for STF, STT and ST-402 series cameras. Aluma CCD series cameras require the DL-68007 cable, which has a completely different locking DIN connector. Using the wrong version will not work.
What is the input voltage for the SBIG 12V DC Extension Cable?
This cable is designed to extend a standard 12 VDC power source, which is the required input voltage for the compatible SBIG cameras.
My pier is far from my power supply; will the 3.6m SBIG 12V DC Extension Cable be long enough for my remote setup?
The DL-68007 cable is approximately 3.6 meters (12 feet) long. Measure the run from your power supply to the camera to check that it covers your setup.
