In today’s mobile production environments, having adaptable power solutions is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity. The C8 DC to D-Tap Cable bridges the gap between DC power sources and professional gear with D-Tap inputs, making it an essential accessory for filmmakers, videographers, and creators who demand flexibility and reliability on set.
Product Overview
The C8 cable is designed with a standard 5.5 x 2.1mm DC barrel connector on one end and a D-Tap (P-Tap) male connector on the other. This allows you to power your V-Mount or Gold Mount battery-powered devices from DC sources like wall adapters, regulated battery banks, or portable power stations.
Whether you’re powering a camera, monitor, LED panel, or wireless transmitter, the C8 provides a clean and secure power connection that adapts to your setup without needing bulky adapters or additional converters.
Key Features
- DC to D-Tap Power Conversion: Enables the use of regulated DC sources to power equipment with D-Tap input, commonly found on cinema gear and accessories.
- Compact and Lightweight: Ideal for mobile rigs, handheld setups, and run-and-gun shooting environments.
- Durable Build Quality: Constructed with industrial-grade shielding and flexible cable jacket to resist kinking, bending, and wear.
- Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No need for additional converters—just plug directly into your regulated DC power source and go.
Use Case Scenarios
- Powering V-Mount Battery Chargers from DC Outlets: Great for users on the move who need to recharge camera batteries in the car or with a portable station.
- Converting DC Outputs to Fuel D-Tap Accessories: Use your existing DC outputs to energize wireless video systems, on-camera lights, field recorders, and more.
- Perfect for Field Production: Especially useful where AC power isn’t available and gear needs to run from portable DC battery banks.
Why the C8 Cable Stands Out
- Increased Flexibility: Turn almost any DC power source into a D-Tap supply, expanding the ways you can manage power on set.
- Space-Saving Solution: Ditch multiple adapters—one simple cable does the job with minimal bulk.
- Trusted Compatibility: Designed to pair seamlessly with professional battery systems and accessories from top brands like Rolux, Aputure, Sony, and more.
Integrated into a Professional Power Ecosystem
The C8 DC to D-Tap Cable fits perfectly into a larger suite of professional-grade solutions—including V-Mount batteries, multi-channel battery chargers, power adapter plates, and more, especially from trusted manufacturers like Rolux. Whether you’re charging gear or powering it in the field, the C8 connects your workflow with confidence and convenience.
Final Thoughts
For filmmakers who need versatile power options, the C8 DC to D-Tap Cable is a smart addition to any gear bag. Its ability to adapt DC power sources into D-Tap-compatible outputs means fewer limitations, more flexibility, and a smoother production experience—anywhere the story takes you.
