3FT EC5 Male to Female Extension Cable – Heavy-Duty 10AWG Silicone Wire

Extend your EC5 battery or DC power connection by 3 feet (approximately 0.9 meters). The BiXPower CAB-EC5MF-3 is a heavy-duty EC5 extension cable featuring flexible 10AWG silicone rubber insulated red and black wires, an EC5 male connector on one end, and an EC5 female connector on the other.

Both connectors feature SecureGrip covers that provide a convenient gripping surface when connecting or disconnecting the cable. Designed for compatible battery packs, DC power systems, and custom electrical projects, this cable also offers a practical way to create two separate EC5 connector pigtails.

BiXPower CAB-EC5MF-3 – 3FT EC5 male to female DC power extension cable

Key Features and Benefits

• 3-foot extension length: Adds approximately 36 inches (0.9 meters) between compatible EC5 power connections.
• Heavy-duty 10AWG wires: Large-gauge conductors for demanding DC power wiring applications.
• Flexible silicone insulation: Easier cable routing and handling than many stiff conventional cable types.
• EC5 male-to-female connectors: Convenient extension of existing compatible EC5 battery and power connections.
• SecureGrip connector covers: Textured gripping surfaces help users connect and disconnect the plugs without pulling on the wires.
• Dual-purpose design: Can be cut into two separate EC5 connector pigtails for custom installations.
• Red and black wiring: Helps distinguish conductors during installation; always verify polarity.

EC5 Male and Female Connector Design

The cable includes one EC5 male connector and one EC5 female connector. Both use blue EC5 connector housings with SecureGrip covers for easier handling.

SecureGrip advantage: Grip the connector housing rather than the cable when disconnecting. This helps reduce unnecessary stress on the wires and connector joints.

Technical Specifications

Flexible 10AWG Silicone-Insulated Power Wires

The cable uses thick 10AWG conductors with silicone rubber insulation. Silicone-insulated wire is valued for its flexibility, which makes it useful when routing power cables through tight spaces or connecting portable equipment.

The larger conductor size can help reduce resistance and voltage drop compared with smaller-gauge wire of the same material and length. Actual current-carrying capacity depends on connector ratings, conductor construction, temperature, installation conditions, and other factors.

Note: The cable's exact operating temperature range, voltage rating, and maximum current rating should be confirmed for this specific assembly rather than assumed from generic silicone wire specifications.

Two Ways to Use This EC5 Cable

Option 1 – Use as a 3FT EC5 extension cable

Connect the male and female ends between compatible EC5 power connections to add approximately three feet of cable length. This is convenient when the battery and powered equipment need to be positioned farther apart.

Option 2 – Create two EC5 connector pigtails

The extension cable can be cut into two separate sections, producing one EC5 male connector with attached red and black wires and one EC5 female connector with attached red and black wires. These can be used to build custom battery or DC power connections.

Safety: Always disconnect the cable from all batteries and power sources before cutting or modifying it. Properly terminate, insulate, and secure all exposed conductors.

Typical Applications

• Battery extension connections: Extend the reach of compatible EC5-equipped battery packs.
• High-power DC equipment: Connect compatible devices using properly rated EC5 power connections.
• RC hobby equipment: Useful in suitable RC battery and power wiring setups.
• Custom lithium battery projects: Build convenient removable EC5 connections for properly protected battery systems.
• Portable power systems: Increase flexibility when positioning batteries and DC-powered equipment.
• DIY electrical projects: Create EC5 male and female wiring pigtails by dividing the extension cable.

Compatibility and Safety Information

• Designed for compatible EC5 connector systems; check connector dimensions and mating compatibility.
• Verify the positive and negative contact positions before connecting any battery or powered device.
• Ensure the voltage and current requirements are within the ratings of the entire wiring assembly.
• Use appropriately protected power sources and avoid short circuits.
• Disconnect power before connecting, disconnecting, cutting, or modifying the cable whenever practical.
• Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting; hold the SecureGrip connector cover.
• This passive cable does not regulate voltage, limit current, or provide built-in circuit protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the length of this EC5 extension cable?
It is approximately 3 feet (36 inches or 0.9 meters) long.

Q: What wire gauge does it use?
It uses heavy-duty 10AWG silicone rubber insulated wires.

Q: Are both connectors EC5?
Yes. One end is EC5 male and the other is EC5 female, both with SecureGrip covers.

Q: Can I cut the cable to make separate EC5 connectors?
Yes. With the cable completely disconnected from power, it can be cut into separate EC5 male and female connector pigtails for custom wiring.

Q: Can I use it with a lithium battery?
Yes, if the battery system has compatible EC5 connectors and the cable assembly meets the application's voltage, current, polarity, and safety requirements.

Q: What is the maximum current this cable supports?
The cable uses 10AWG wires, but the maximum current rating of the complete cable assembly has not been specified. Confirm the applicable rating before using it in a high-current installation.

Q: Does the cable change the output voltage?
No. This is a passive extension cable. It does not convert or regulate voltage.

Check connector compatibility, polarity, voltage, and current requirements before installation. Product specifications are subject to change.
