AConnect D-tap Splitter Hub Cable - 3-Port P-tap Power Splitter

In this review of the AConnect D-tap Splitter Hub Cable we look at a practical accessory aimed at camera operators who need to power multiple accessories from a single battery. The bottom line: this 3-port P-tap splitter makes it straightforward to run monitors, wireless receivers and small lights from a single V-mount or IDX style battery without repeatedly swapping cables. The review finds it useful for run-and-gun shoots and multi-accessory rigs because it expands a single PowerTap into three outputs while keeping the build compact and field-ready.

Key Features

• Three P-tap ports: Expands a single D-tap power outlet into three independent outputs so several accessories can be powered from one camera battery.
• Fixing holes for mounts: Includes one 1/4 and one 1/6 screw hole for mounting to camera plates or stabilizers, making it easier to secure the hub on rigs like a Ronin 2.
• Durable construction: The aluminum alloy housing and stress relief rubber at connections reduce wear and the chance of cable breakage during heavy use.
• Camera compatibility: Designed for common cinematography batteries and gear, so it integrates with ARRI, RED, Z CAM, Tilta, and similar setups.
• Convenient length: The 21.4 in cable offers a compact reach ideal for camera-mounted setups while avoiding excess slack on compact rigs.
• Custom length option: Manufacturer offers custom lengths on request for nonstandard setups or longer cable runs.

Who It's For

This P-tap hub is aimed at professional and prosumer camera operators who routinely run multiple small accessories from a single battery, such as on-board monitors, wireless audio receivers and compact lights. It is especially useful when space is limited and mounting the hub to a plate or gimbal will keep cables tidy.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need high-current single outputs for heavy draw devices or who require integrated circuit protection and smart power distribution; this is a straightforward splitter rather than an advanced power distribution system.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Three outputs let operators power multiple devices without swapping batteries or adapters.
• Mounting screw holes add convenience for attaching the hub to camera plates and stabilizers.
• Solid aluminum alloy build and rubber stress relief improve durability in the field.
• Compact 21.4 in cable length prevents clutter on camera rigs.

Cons

• Not a power management unit; it simply splits D-tap power and does not regulate or fuse outputs.
• Single cable length included by default may be short for some studio setups unless a custom length is requested.

Our Verdict

The AConnect D-tap Splitter Hub Cable is a practical, value-minded tool for cinematographers who need to power several low- to medium-draw accessories from a single camera battery. Its rugged construction, mounting options and compact length make it a sensible addition to camera plates and gimbals; just remember it is a passive splitter, not a fused power distribution box. For crews wanting tidy, reliable power for monitors, wireless packs and small lights, it represents good value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable power multiple monitors at once?
Yes, it can power multiple low- to medium-draw monitors and accessories simultaneously, provided the battery and devices do not exceed the available current from the single D-tap source.

Is the hub mountable on a gimbal or camera plate?
Yes, the hub includes one 1/4 and one 1/6 screw hole so it can be fixed to many camera plates and gimbal plates like the Ronin 2.

Can I get a different cable length?
Manufacturer offers custom lengths on request; contact them before ordering if you need a length other than 21.4 in.
