SwamCam 15ft Camera Power Cable | SCPC16
SwamCam 15ft Camera Power Cable | SCPC16
The SwamCam 15ft power cable replaces the standard length cable between the adapter and the camera. It is the cable only, so it requires the current style SwamCam power adapter already installed.
Which power item do you need?
This is the replacement cable for a standard length run where the adapter is already the current style. It is the cheapest item in the range and the right one only if your power pack is good.
| Model | Cable | Adapter | Buy it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCPP50 | 50 ft | Included | Long run, and you need the current style adapter |
| SCPC50 | 50 ft | Not included | Long run, and your adapter is already the current style |
| SCPP16 | 15 ft | Included | Short run, and you need the current style adapter |
| SCPC16 | 15 ft | Not included | Short run, and your adapter is already the current style |
| SCPA6 | None | Adapter only | Replacing just the power pack, reusing the camera cable |

When do you need a replacement cable?
Usually after physical damage. Cables that run outdoors meet strimmers, mowers, ladders and animals. Replacing the cable alone is far cheaper than replacing the camera or the whole power set.
SwamCam is an additional layer of protection. It is not a substitute for a barrier or for supervision, and constant adult supervision is still required.

What else do buyers ask about the 15ft Power Cable?
How do I know which cable length I need?
Measure from the outlet you intend to use to the mounting point, following the route the cable will actually take rather than a straight line. Then allow slack. Cord length is the most common install mistake on this product.
Which adapter style do I have?
If your system is recent it will be the current style. If you are not sure, send us a photo of the adapter or tell us roughly when the system was installed and we will identify it before you order.
Can I join two cables to reach further?
We would not recommend it. Use the 50ft cable for a long run rather than joining shorter ones, which introduces a connection point outdoors and a possible failure point in the camera's power.
Does the cable need to be buried or protected?
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and any local electrical requirements for outdoor runs. If the route crosses somewhere people walk or mow, protect it. This is a question for your electrician rather than for us.
Will this work with my existing adapter?
Only if that adapter is the current style. The manufacturer changed the design, and this cable is made for the newer one. If you are unsure, order the cable and adapter set instead.
Why is this SKU called 16 when the product says 15ft?
SwamCam renamed the item without changing the SKU. The digits reflect the older nominal length. Order by SCPC16 and you will get the right part regardless of which name your paperwork uses.
Replacing a damaged cable?
Check the adapter at the same time. If the cable was cut or crushed, the pack is worth inspecting before you put a new cable on it. Manuals, warranties and certificates are on our manuals and guides page. Aqua Terra Backyard is a retailer, not an installer.
