Product SKU: AE-MC0201-6
Product Overview
The Hikvision AE-MC0201-6 is a 6 metre analogue camera extension cable designed for compatible Hikvision mobile video recorder and onboard camera installations. It uses the specified 12M4A_B input and 12M4B_B output interfaces, providing additional cable reach while maintaining the required 4-pin aviation-style connection between compatible equipment. The cable is rated at 30 V with a maximum current of 1 A and features PVC insulation with a tinned copper conductor. Its IP5X protection rating and stated -40°C to 105°C working temperature range make it suitable for demanding onboard environments when correctly installed. The AE-MC0201-6 is best chosen when approximately 6 metres of additional reach is required and the exact camera and recorder interfaces have been confirmed as compatible.
Key Capabilities
6 Metres of Extension Length
The cable adds 6 metres of reach between compatible onboard camera equipment, making it useful when the camera position and mobile recorder cannot be located close together.
4-Pin Aviation Interface
A 12M4A_B input and 12M4B_B output maintain the specified connection format required by compatible analogue onboard camera installations.
Wide Temperature Tolerance
The stated -40°C to 105°C working range suits the significant temperature variation that can occur around vehicle interiors and onboard equipment installations.
IP5X Dust Protection
The IP5X rating provides specified resistance to dust ingress, an important consideration when a cable is routed through vehicle spaces that are less controlled than normal indoor environments.
PVC and Tinned Copper Construction
PVC insulation and a tinned copper conductor provide the specified cable construction for permanent compatible onboard analogue camera installations.
Best For
- Mobile Video Recorder Installations: Useful where compatible Hikvision MVR equipment needs additional cable reach to an analogue onboard camera.
- Vehicle Camera Systems: Designed for compatible analogue camera installations using the specified 4-pin aviation interfaces.
- Medium-Length Cable Routes: The 6 metre length suits installations where only moderate additional distance is required and a much longer extension would create unnecessary excess cable.
- Protected Onboard Routing: Provides extra length for routing cable around vehicle structures while avoiding moving components and unsuitable installation areas.
Why Choose the AE-MC0201-6
The AE-MC0201-6 is a purpose-specific extension cable for compatible Hikvision onboard analogue camera systems rather than a generic 4-pin lead. Its 6 metre length provides a practical middle ground when the existing camera connection is too short but a substantially longer extension is unnecessary. The specified aviation-style interfaces, 30 V and 1 A electrical ratings, IP5X protection and broad operating temperature range are important considerations for vehicle installations. Available through Security Wholesalers, the AE-MC0201-6 should be selected by confirming both connector compatibility and the required cable length before installation, as other Hikvision mobile products may use different interfaces.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm the exact connector arrangement before ordering. The AE-MC0201-6 uses a 12M4A_B input and 12M4B_B output interface, so compatibility should be checked against the specific mobile recorder and camera rather than relying on the Hikvision brand name alone.
Buyer Tip: Choose the 6 metre version when it provides enough routing allowance without leaving a large amount of unused cable. Plan the path before installation and keep the cable away from sharp edges, moving parts and concentrated heat sources.

Ideal Use Cases
Commercial Vehicles
Adds cable reach where compatible camera and MVR equipment need to be positioned several metres apart.
Passenger Vehicles
Useful where a compatible onboard camera connection needs moderate additional cable length without using a much longer extension.
Rear or Side Camera Routing
Provides extra reach where compatible analogue cameras are mounted away from the recorder location and the cable must follow a protected route.
Onboard Camera Retrofits
Useful when relocating compatible camera equipment creates a need for additional connection length while retaining the specified aviation interface.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your compatible onboard analogue camera installation requires approximately 6 metres of extension and uses the specified 12M4A_B to 12M4B_B interface.
- Choose a different cable length if: Six metres is either too short for the planned route or would leave excessive unused cable. The AE-MC0201 range includes other cable lengths for different installation requirements.
- Choose a different cable type if: The intended equipment does not use the specified interfaces or falls outside the cable’s stated electrical requirements.
FAQs
- Is the Hikvision AE-MC0201-6 suitable for extending an analogue onboard camera connection?
Yes. The Hikvision AE-MC0201-6 is a 6 metre analogue camera extension cable designed for compatible onboard camera installations using the specified 12M4A_B to 12M4B_B interface. It is intended to extend an existing compatible connection where extra cable length is needed. Confirm the exact camera and recorder interfaces before purchase rather than assuming compatibility from the Hikvision brand alone. - What connectors are used on the AE-MC0201-6?
The AE-MC0201-6 uses a 12M4A_B input interface and a 12M4B_B output interface. These are 4-pin aviation-style connectors used for compatible onboard analogue camera connections. The connector arrangement should be checked against the exact camera and mobile recorder or onboard equipment before installation, because other Hikvision mobile products may use different interfaces. - How long is the Hikvision AE-MC0201-6 cable?
The AE-MC0201-6 is the 6 metre version in the AE-MC0201 extension-cable range. This length is useful when a compatible camera needs additional reach to the recorder but a much longer cable would create unnecessary excess. Plan the cable path before installation so it can be secured away from sharp edges, moving parts and concentrated heat sources. - What are the electrical ratings of the AE-MC0201-6?
The Hikvision AE-MC0201-6 has a nominal voltage rating of 30 V and a rated current of up to 1 A. These ratings should be matched to the connected equipment before installation. When selecting the cable through Security Wholesalers, confirm that both the interface and the electrical requirements of the intended onboard camera system are suitable. - Is the AE-MC0201-6 dust resistant?
Yes. The AE-MC0201-6 carries an IP5X protection rating, providing specified resistance to dust ingress. This is useful in vehicle and mobile installations where cabling may pass through less controlled spaces. IP5X does not mean the cable is waterproof, so the connectors and cable route should still be protected from unsuitable moisture exposure. - What temperature range is the AE-MC0201-6 designed to operate in?
The AE-MC0201-6 has a stated working temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. This broad range suits the temperature variation that can occur in vehicle and onboard environments. Correct installation is still important, so keep the cable away from sharp edges, moving components and concentrated heat sources that could damage the insulation or strain the connectors.
