Product Overview

The AXIS AX15M-4P is a 15-metre 4-pin camera extension cable engineered to extend the distance between reversing cameras and display monitors in applications where standard camera cable lengths are insufficient. Most reversing camera kits include 6-10 metre cables suitable for passenger vehicles, but larger vehicles including trucks, buses, motorhomes, caravans, and boat trailers often require additional cable length to route from rear-mounted cameras through chassis rails, along vehicle frames, and forward to cab-mounted displays. This extension cable uses male-to-female 4-pin connectors allowing simple plug-and-play connection between existing camera cables and monitor inputs without cutting, splicing, or soldering. The shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference from vehicle electrical systems, alternators, and ignition components that can cause video noise and signal degradation over longer cable runs common in commercial vehicles. The durable outer jacketing protects internal conductors during installation through tight spaces, around sharp edges, and through bulkhead grommets while providing moisture resistance for installations exposed to weather or underbody spray. The 4-pin configuration carries video signal plus power, supporting standard automotive camera systems operating on 12V DC power supplies.

Important Notes:

Extension Cable Only: This cable extends existing camera installations. It is not a complete camera system and requires existing camera and monitor with 4-pin connectors.

Signal Degradation Possible: Extended cable lengths may cause slight video quality reduction depending on camera resolution and monitor sensitivity. Test before permanent installation.

4-Pin Configuration Specific: Only compatible with 4-pin camera systems. Verify your existing camera and monitor use 4-pin connectors before purchasing.

Maximum Length Considerations: Total cable length (original plus extension) should not exceed 25-30 metres for optimal video quality in 12V systems.

Proper Cable Routing Required: Secure cable away from heat sources, moving parts, and sharp edges. Use cable ties and grommets to prevent damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this cable work with any reversing camera system?

A: This cable works ONLY with 4-pin camera systems. Verify your existing camera and monitor use 4-pin connectors before purchasing. Some camera systems use RCA connectors (single video plug plus separate power), aviation-style connectors, or different pin configurations (6-pin, 7-pin). Check your existing camera cable connector - it must have exactly 4 pins arranged in standard automotive camera configuration. If you're unsure about your system's connector type, take photos of both your camera cable end and monitor input, and contact us for compatibility verification before ordering.

Q: Will video quality decrease with this 15-metre extension?

A: Some video quality reduction is possible over extended cable lengths depending on camera resolution, monitor sensitivity, and electrical interference in your vehicle. The shielded construction minimizes signal degradation, but analogue video signals naturally lose strength over distance. Most users experience acceptable quality with total cable lengths up to 25-30 metres (original camera cable plus extension). For critical applications or very long runs, consider amplified camera systems or digital IP cameras designed for long-distance transmission. Test the extension before permanent installation - connect temporarily and verify video quality meets your requirements.

Q: Can I connect multiple extension cables together for even longer runs?

A: While physically possible to connect multiple extensions, it's NOT recommended. Each connection point introduces potential signal loss, and total cable length beyond 30 metres typically results in unacceptable video quality degradation in 12V analogue systems. If you need more than 15 metres of extension (total run exceeding 25-30m including original camera cable), consider: (1) Relocating your monitor closer to the camera, (2) Using an amplified camera system designed for long runs, (3) Upgrading to digital IP camera system with network cable capability, or (4) Installing a video signal amplifier/repeater midway through the cable run.

Q: Where should I route this cable through my vehicle?

A: Route along existing wiring looms where possible, securing with cable ties every 300-500mm. Avoid routing near heat sources (exhaust systems, turbochargers), moving parts (driveshafts, suspension), or areas subject to pinching (door hinges, tailgate gaps). Use rubber grommets when passing through metal panels to prevent chafing. Keep cable away from sharp edges - use split loom or conduit in exposed areas. For underbody routing, elevate cable above potential water pooling areas and secure firmly to prevent dragging. In motorhomes and caravans, route through cabinet backs and behind wall panels rather than exposed floor areas. Professional installers often follow existing chassis rails and use existing bulkhead penetrations where available.

Q: My camera and monitor both have male connectors - will this cable work?

A: No, this cable has male connector on one end and female on the other, designed to extend between a male camera cable and female monitor input (or vice versa). If both your camera and monitor have male connectors, you'll need a female-to-female adapter (gender changer) plus this extension cable, OR a male-to-male extension cable (less common). Verify your exact connector configuration: typically cameras have female connectors on the cable coming from the camera unit, and monitors have male inputs, but some manufacturers reverse this. Take photos of both ends and contact us if you need assistance identifying the correct cable or adapter configuration for your specific system.
