I have a Amcrest 5MP Turret POE Camera that's between 5-10 years old. And I need to replace the internal pigtail POE power cord. I think it's called a "POE IP Network Cable PCB Module POE Adapter Cable, RJ45 Female/DC Male"

I tried installing a keystone jack, and that didn't work out too well. I ended up cutting the wires down past the barrel shaped hard plastic part on the cable, and I was told I cut too far down.

And no amount of tinkering with the keystone jack can get this thing running, although I know it does work because I originally had it working until I taped up the keystone jack and that somehow got the wires tangled and it stopped working.

That's when I started pruning my way down, and I went too far (so it appears). And I figured the easiest way to fix this is to just replace the pig tail from the inside.

I opened it up and it looks like a simple job, just two sets of plastic plugs to plug into the mother board. One set for the POE and the other set for the DC wall jack. And I only need the POE plug set.

I looked on Amazon but didn't find anything that looked remotely close to what was inside my Amcrest POE Turret camera.

Any suggestions on exactly what I need, and where I can get it from?

Go to AliExpress and look for the pigtail with the connectors, wire count and color code that gee-haws with your camera.
Since it's a Dahua-OEM it should be readily available... :cool:

That picture is exactly what my cord looks like. But the main problem is, I have a strict habit of not doing any business over the Internet with credit/debit cards, and personal information. Identity theft is too pervasive

All of my online purchases are done anonymously with gift cards on Amazon. But now that I know to look for a Dahua cord, maybe I can find one on Amazon, or even locally.

Thanks for the help
