Wonder if you chaps can help - Got to snip connectors off the end of all the cables. Electricians will not solder cable on supply but will screw into a block.

What I'm after is a little block that I can screw on the camera's 2 core power cable so the guys can just then snip the ends off the supply and screw into block.

Thinking of getting the cheap n cheerfull plastic blocks and cutting down to size or is there something a little more professional

cheers

I always use the little blue or red in line crimp connectors you can buy at city's or newy's (or even B&Q now).

I would be amazed if a sparky didnt have the crimp tool to make them off with.

They wouldn't even do that so I have got the little plastic blocks with the terminal screws.

I buy 1 meter dc extensions from CPC, cut off the plugs and then connect these to blocks. All i then have to do is connect the power cable to the block and plug it into the cameras dc socket. This way, if the camera is faulty down the line I can return it under the manufacturers warranty. Once you've cut off the dc socket your buggered!

And it saves a lot of time onsite soldering!

BT supply there engineers with little plastic connectors you just squeeze together and they grip and hold. they are filled with a little silicon gel so they prevent corrosion. I'm not sure what they are called.

Monteeey will be along shortly to tell you the correct term.

These are what I know as scotchloks....They are sheite, and will cause high res problems, the BT ones are much, much better, but for 12v you cannot beat solder and heat shrink.
