About This Item
Description
Running out of outlets on your power supply? The PCA-5 daisy-chains one DC output to up to 5 pedals, using a 24AWG oxygen-free copper core so you don't add noise to the chain while you're saving outlets.
Why guitarists choose the PCA-5
- Powers up to 5 pedals from a single DC output, useful when your power supply has fewer jacks than your board has pedals.
- 24AWG oxygen-free copper core and a 3.5mm wire diameter keep the connection clean instead of introducing hum.
- Over 25cm between plugs gives enough spacing to reach pedals mounted at different points on a board.
- Angled plugs keep a low profile next to tightly packed pedals.
PCA-5 vs PSW-1: not substitutes
The PCA-5 is a passive distribution cable — it carries power but doesn't generate it. Pair it with a proper power source such as the Valeton PSW-1 9V power adapter; the PCA-5 supplies no current of its own.

What power supply should I pair it with? Valeton recommends a high-performance DC adapter such as the PSW-1 9V power adapter or a comparable supply.
How many pedals can it power? Up to 5, from a single DC output.
Are the plugs straight or angled? 5 angled DC plugs.
What's the spacing between plugs? Over 25 cm between plugs, enough to reach pedals mounted at different points on a board.
