Technical specifications for the Arlo Outdoor Magnetic Cable identify a 25ft passive-smart component utilizing a pogo-pin interface. Performance metrics demonstrate that the 20-22 AWG internal wire gauge mitigates voltage drop, facilitating the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 handshake required for 24/7 Continuous Video Recording (CVR). Material analysis confirms the use of a UV-rated jacket and a locking silicone gasket designed to prevent capillary moisture migration into the charging port.
Structural analysis indicates the proprietary magnetic pinout is limited to Ultra, Pro 3, Pro 4, and Pro 5S series hardware. The unit's connection triggers internal firmware changes in the camera, enabling features such as Activity Zones that are disabled during battery-only operation. Testing protocols suggest that the gold-plated pins require a clean, dry surface to prevent "Incompatible Charger" errors, and the IP65 rating is dependent on the precise seating of the proprietary magnetic head.
This proprietary charging link is a specialized infrastructure component in the security camera accessories hardware class.
If your installation requires power far from a traditional AC outlet, the Arlo Solar Panel Charger provides a sustainable power alternative for these specific camera models.
