Product Overview
For installers extending Hikvision mobile camera setups in vehicles, the MC0201-10 is a 10m 4-pin aviation extension cable designed to connect compatible Hikvision mobile camera units using a 12M4A_B to 12M4B_B connector configuration. Featuring a standardised 4-pin aviation plug, this cable allows camera heads to be positioned at greater distances from the recording unit without requiring custom wiring or third-party adapters. It is well suited to larger vehicles such as trucks, buses, and coaches where the distance between the camera mounting point and the recorder may exceed standard cable lengths. This makes it a practical addition to any Hikvision mobile surveillance installation requiring a reliable, manufacturer-matched extension run.
Key Capabilities
10m Extension Length
A 10m run provides enough reach for larger commercial vehicles, allowing camera heads to be mounted at front, rear, or side positions that would otherwise exceed the reach of a standard camera cable.
4-Pin Aviation Connector
The 4-pin aviation connector format is a common standard in Hikvision mobile camera systems. This cable maintains signal and power integrity across the full 10m length using the correct pin configuration.
Manufacturer-Matched Connector Type
The 12M4A_B to 12M4B_B configuration matches the connector standard used in Hikvision mobile camera systems, removing compatibility guesswork and avoiding the need for adapter modifications on site.
Clean Vehicle Integration
Using an OEM-spec extension cable allows installers to route camera wiring through vehicle cavities and conduit runs without splicing, keeping installations tidy and maintaining the integrity of the original cable assembly.
Best For
- Large Commercial Vehicles: Buses, coaches, and rigid trucks where the distance between the camera position and the onboard recorder exceeds standard cable lengths supplied with the camera unit.
- Multi-Camera Mobile Installations: Installations requiring cameras at multiple positions across a vehicle body, where additional cable reach is needed for specific mounting points.
- Hikvision Mobile Camera Systems: Any Hikvision mobile camera system that uses a 4-pin aviation connector and requires a 10m extension run between the camera head and recording unit.
Why Choose the MC0201-10
The MC0201-10 extension cable is a factory-specified 10m aviation cable produced by Hikvision for use with their mobile camera range. Using an OEM cable rather than a generic alternative ensures the connector type, pin layout, and cable gauge are matched to the system requirements, reducing the risk of signal degradation or connector fitment issues over the length of the run. The 12M4A_B to 12M4B_B connector format is specific to Hikvision mobile systems, meaning off-the-shelf generic cables are often not a direct substitute. For installers completing Hikvision mobile camera projects on larger vehicles, this cable is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hikvision mobile accessories range, making it straightforward to source alongside compatible camera units and recorders.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Before ordering, confirm that your Hikvision mobile camera unit uses a 4-pin aviation connector in the 12M4A_B to 12M4B_B format. Hikvision mobile cameras can use different connector pin counts depending on the model series. If your camera uses a 2-pin or 6-pin aviation connector, this cable will not be compatible. Check the connector specification on your camera datasheet before purchasing.

Ideal Use Cases
Bus and Coach Fleets
Long-body passenger vehicles often require camera-to-recorder runs that exceed standard cable lengths. The 10m extension allows cameras to be positioned at front or rear ends of a coach while the recorder is located centrally.
Heavy Commercial Trucks
Rigid trucks and semi-trailers with extended wheelbases benefit from a 10m extension cable when mounting cameras at the rear of the trailer and routing back to the cab-mounted recorder.
Side-View Camera Positioning
Wide vehicles requiring side-mirror or wheel-area cameras may need additional cable length to reach the recorder cleanly without exposed joins. The MC0201-10 provides a single clean run for these positions.
Mobile Fleet Upgrades
When adding cameras to an existing Hikvision mobile recording system, the MC0201-10 allows new camera positions to be reached without rewiring the entire system or replacing existing cable runs.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your Hikvision mobile camera uses a 4-pin aviation connector in the 12M4A_B to 12M4B_B format and you need an additional 10m of cable reach for your vehicle installation.
- Choose a different model if: Your camera uses a different pin count aviation connector, or you require a shorter or longer cable run than 10m. Confirm the exact connector type on your camera model before purchasing any extension cable.
FAQs
- What does the 12M4A_B to 12M4B_B connector description mean?
This refers to the specific aviation connector standard used on each end of the cable. The 12M4A_B is typically the male plug end and 12M4B_B is the female socket end. This pairing is used within Hikvision mobile camera systems and allows the camera head to be extended from the recording unit using a matching connector on both sides.
- Will this cable work with all Hikvision mobile cameras?
No. This cable is specific to Hikvision mobile camera models that use a 4-pin aviation connector. Hikvision produces mobile cameras with different connector types and pin counts. You should confirm the exact connector specification of your camera model before purchasing this extension cable.
- Can I chain two of these cables together to get 20m of reach?
The product data does not confirm this capability. Daisy-chaining extension cables can introduce signal loss depending on the signal type carried. Check the specification for your camera system and recorder before attempting to use more than one extension cable in series.
- Is 10m enough for most vehicle installations?
For most standard commercial vehicles including vans, small trucks, and short-body buses, 10m is sufficient to reach from a rear or front camera position to a centrally or cab-mounted recorder. For articulated vehicles or very long coaches, the required run length should be measured before ordering to confirm this cable length is adequate.
- Where can I purchase the MC0201-10?
The MC0201-10 aviation extension cable is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hikvision mobile and vehicle camera accessories range. It can be ordered alongside compatible Hikvision mobile cameras and recorders for a complete installation supply.
