Dahua DH-PFA117 780mm Aluminium Ceiling Mount Extension Pole with 2kg Load Capacity

Product SKU: DH-PFA117

Product Overview

The Dahua DH-PFA117 is a 780mm aluminium ceiling-mount extension pole designed to increase the suspension length of specific compatible Dahua camera mounting assemblies. Its fixed-length design positions a supported camera farther below a high ceiling, beam or overhead obstruction, helping achieve a more practical viewing height without using an improvised pipe or fabricated extension. The pole measures 42mm in diameter and uses M33 threaded connections for attachment to correctly matched ceiling-mount components. A stated load-bearing capacity of 2kg supports suitable camera and mounting combinations when the complete suspended load remains within the limit. The white aluminium-alloy body weighs 0.68kg and is specified for temperatures from −40°C to +60°C. Dahua directs buyers to its Camera Accessories Selection for applicable models, so the camera, brackets, thread connections and total installed weight should be confirmed before ordering.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• High Ceilings: Lowers a compatible camera to a more useful height where direct mounting would position it too far above the monitored area.
• Retail and Commercial Interiors: Helps position supported cameras below lighting tracks, ceiling services and decorative structures.
• Warehouses and Open Areas: Extends a compatible pendant mounting arrangement where roof height or beams affect camera placement.
• Purpose-Matched Dahua Systems: Suits installations using confirmed M33-threaded ceiling brackets, camera adapters and supported cameras.

Why Choose the DH-PFA117

The DH-PFA117 provides a more predictable installation than adapting a generic pipe or fabricated extension to a surveillance camera mount. Its 780mm length, 42mm diameter, M33 thread and 2kg load limit are clearly defined, helping installers assess camera height, cable routing and structural loading before work begins. The lightweight aluminium-alloy construction adds only 0.68kg to the mounting assembly, while the white finish coordinates with compatible Dahua equipment. The pole is also supplied with an S3.0 wrench for installation. Available through Security Wholesalers, the PFA117 should be selected only after checking the camera, upper bracket, lower adapter, ceiling structure and complete suspended weight through the current Dahua accessory selection information.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose the DH-PFA117 if: The confirmed mounting arrangement requires a fixed 780mm extension, M33 thread and a load capacity of no more than 2kg.
• Choose a shorter pole if: A 780mm drop would position the camera too low or interfere with people, vehicles, doors or equipment.
• Choose a higher-capacity mount if: The camera and adjoining lower bracket exceed the stated 2kg load limit.
• Choose a different mounting type if: The installation requires wall, pole, corner or in-ceiling placement rather than a suspended ceiling arrangement.

FAQs

1. What is the Dahua DH-PFA117 used for?
   The DH-PFA117 is a fixed-length ceiling-mount extension pole used with specific compatible Dahua ceiling-mount brackets. Its purpose is to extend the suspension rod by 780mm so a supported camera can be positioned farther below the ceiling. Compatibility is not universal, so the exact camera, upper bracket, lower adapter and complete mounting chain should be confirmed before installation.
2. What are the dimensions of the DH-PFA117?
   The DH-PFA117 measures 42mm in diameter and 780mm in length. The dimensional drawing also shows an approximately 33mm internal tube diameter, M33 threaded ends and an M6 fixing point. These measurements should be checked against the intended ceiling bracket, camera adapter, available clearance and cable route before the assembly is installed.
3. What is the maximum load capacity of the DH-PFA117?
   The DH-PFA117 has a stated load-bearing capacity of 2kg. This limit applies to the supported camera and adjoining mounting components carried by the extension pole. The ceiling structure, anchors and upper bracket must also support the pole’s 0.68kg net weight and the complete suspended assembly. Do not assess suitability using the camera weight alone.
4. Which thread does the DH-PFA117 use?
   The extension pole uses an M33 screw thread. Both adjoining mounting components must match this thread and be confirmed as compatible with the PFA117. A similar-looking pipe or camera bracket should not be assumed to fit, because different Dahua mounting families can use different thread sizes, diameters and attachment methods.
5. Can the DH-PFA117 be used outdoors?
   The datasheet specifies operation from −40°C to +60°C and relative humidity below 90%, but it does not provide an IP weatherproof rating for the pole. Outdoor suitability therefore depends on the complete camera, brackets, fixings, cable path and corrosion-protection arrangement. The document lists basic anti-corrosion protection, so exposed or highly corrosive sites require careful assessment.
6. What is included with the DH-PFA117?
   The listed package contains one DH-PFA117 ceiling-mount bracket and one S3.0 wrench. A camera, ceiling plate, camera adapter, mounting anchors and other bracket components are not listed as included. Before ordering through Security Wholesalers, confirm every component required to complete the ceiling-mount chain and support the total installed load.
7. What should be checked before ordering the DH-PFA117?
   Confirm the exact Dahua camera, compatible ceiling brackets, M33 thread, 780mm suspension length, 2kg load limit, ceiling structure, cable route and environmental exposure before ordering. The datasheet directs buyers to the current Camera Accessories Selection for applicable models, so compatibility should be verified from the complete mounting combination rather than inferred from appearance.
