The shefor 12V 3A Power Adapter is a mains power supply for CCTV cameras, LED strips, routers and other small 12V electronics, rated at 12V 3A (36W). Peace of mind follows from immediate start-up and built-in safety protections. Does the adapter perform as a straightforward replacement for original chargers?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Output Performance: Stable 12V 3A output, 36W max
- • Best for: Home CCTV installers, hobbyists fitting LED strips and owners of small 12V electronics
- • Not ideal for: Devices that require more than 36W or proprietary connectors
Accepts 100–240V input and supplies 12V at up to 3A. Compact UK-plug adapter designed for routine home and small-business electronics.
Robust safety protections – With built-in IC smart chip and isolation transformer
An integrated IC smart chip monitors and regulates output while an isolation transformer separates mains from the low-voltage output, and CE/FCC/UKCA certifications confirm compliance. Overcharge, short-circuit, overload and overheat protection are included in the protection suite.
Safer continuous operation for connected equipment, reducing risk of electrical faults during long runs of CCTV or LED use.
Durable, long-reach power – Thanks to a 1.8m cable, thickened metal pins and anti-drop shell
A 1.8-metre cable with increased bending resistance gives flexible placement options, while reinforced metal pins and an anti-drop shell improve mechanical longevity after repeated plugging.
Outlet placement is less of a constraint and the strengthened build handles daily use better than many budget alternatives.
Easy swaps with common connector – Thanks to the 5.5 × 2.1mm barrel connector
The standard 5.5×2.1mm barrel connector fits many CCTV cameras, LED strips and routers, simplifying replacements. Factory testing before dispatch helps ensure reliable electrical contact.
Quick, low-fuss replacements for existing 12V kit without needing adaptors or specialist cables.
