Ferrum DC Cable 5.5x2.5mm Add-On for HYPSOS at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, New York

The Ferrum DC Cable with 5.5 x 2.5 mm plug is an official add-on DC power cable from Ferrum Audio (Warsaw, Poland), designed for use with the HYPSOS Single Output or HYPSOS Dual Output power supply systems, available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, New York. Available in lengths of 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 metres, these cables connect the HYPSOS's standard DC output to audio components using the widely adopted centre-positive 5.5 x 2.5 mm barrel connector, covering the majority of third-party devices compatible with the HYPSOS's 5 to 30 V adjustable output. They are also used as the secondary output cable when the Ferrum Power Splitter is in circuit, providing a length-appropriate connection to the second powered component.

Cable Design and Application

Ferrum manufactures its add-on DC cables to the same quality standard as the power cables included with HYPSOS units. The 5.5 x 2.5 mm plug is the most commonly used DC barrel connector in audiophile and consumer audio equipment, making this cable the primary choice for connecting the HYPSOS to non-FPL third-party components including network streamers, DACs, phono preamplifiers, and network switches within the HYPSOS's 5 to 30 V operating range. Multiple length options accommodate different rack configurations, cable management approaches, and component spacing requirements on both desktop and rack-mounted installations. For applications requiring the 5.5 x 2.1 mm connector variant or custom cable lengths, contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo directly.

Key Features

• Four Length Options: Available in 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 metres to accommodate varied desktop, shelf, and rack configurations without excess cable bulk or cable tension.
• 5.5 x 2.5 mm Centre-Positive Connector: The most widely used DC barrel connector in audiophile equipment, compatible with the majority of third-party components in the HYPSOS's supported device list.
• Official Ferrum Accessory: Manufactured by Ferrum Audio in Warsaw to the same specifications as cables supplied with HYPSOS units, ensuring consistent conductor quality and connector fit with the HYPSOS DC output terminal.
• Power Splitter Secondary Output Use: Provides the second output cable when using the Ferrum Power Splitter with a HYPSOS Single Output, with length selection matching the physical distance between the splitter and the second powered component.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ferrum DC Cable 5.5x2.5mm?

The Ferrum DC Cable 5.5 x 2.5 mm is an official add-on DC power cable manufactured by Ferrum Audio in Warsaw, Poland, for use with the HYPSOS Single Output and Dual Output power supplies. It uses the widely adopted 5.5 x 2.5 mm centre-positive barrel connector and is available in lengths of 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 metres. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, New York.

What is the difference between this cable and the Ferrum Power Link FPL cable?

The Ferrum DC Cable 5.5 x 2.5 mm is a standard two-conductor DC power cable that connects the HYPSOS to a component's DC input barrel jack. It delivers regulated voltage but does not carry sensing signals. The Ferrum Power Link FPL cable is a four-conductor proprietary cable that carries both power and a dedicated sensing circuit, enabling the HYPSOS's 4T Sensing Design to measure and regulate voltage at the load's internal rail rather than at the supply output. The FPL cable is required to activate 4T Sensing with Ferrum OOR, WANDLA, WANDLA HP, and ERCO Gen 2. For third-party components, only the standard 5.5 mm barrel cable is applicable, as third-party devices do not have FPL sensing circuitry.

Can I use this cable to connect the HYPSOS to non-Ferrum audio equipment?

Yes. This cable is designed specifically for connecting the HYPSOS to third-party audio components that accept a 5.5 x 2.5 mm centre-positive DC input. Ferrum maintains a compatibility list on their website of confirmed third-party devices that operate within the HYPSOS's 5 to 30 V adjustable range. When using the HYPSOS with third-party equipment via this cable, the 4T Sensing Design is not active, but the HYPSOS's hybrid linear-switching topology, Sweet Spot Tuning, and automation features remain fully available.
