Solderless DC Cable Kit (POK-03)
Couldn't load pickup availability
The IVU Creator POK-03 is a solderless DC cable system for making custom-length pedalboard power leads with compatible 2.1 mm connections. Compact set-screw plugs let you route cable around a crowded pedalboard without using a soldering iron.
What is the POK-03 solderless DC cable system?
POK-03 lets you cut DC wire to the length required by your pedalboard layout, insert the wire into a solderless plug and secure it with the plug's set screw. IVU lists two separate store options: 12 pieces of 2.1 mm DC plugs or 5 m of DC wire.
- Application: custom DC power-cable routing for compatible effects pedals and pedalboard power supplies
- Connection listed by IVU: 2.1 mm DC plug
- Plug option: 12 pieces
- Wire option: 5 m / about 16.4 ft
- Assembly: cut, insert and secure with a set screw
- Soldering: not required
What are the verified POK-03 specifications?
The current IVU page identifies a 12-piece 2.1 mm plug option and a separate 5 m DC wire option. Voltage, current capacity and polarity are not specified in the supplied export, so those electrical requirements must be checked against the pedal and power supply before use.

How can custom DC cable lengths improve a pedalboard layout?
Custom lengths reduce unnecessary cable loops and make it easier to route power leads between closely spaced pedals. The compact plug body is designed to use less space, but actual clearance depends on each pedal's jack position and the surrounding hardware.
| Layout need | How POK-03 may help | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Short runs | Cut wire to the measured path instead of storing excess cable | Leave enough slack to avoid pulling on the DC jack |
| Tight spacing | Compact plug bodies can reduce connector congestion | Confirm physical clearance around adjacent audio and power jacks |
| Organized routing | Run DC leads along the planned pedalboard path | Keep cables secured without sharp bends or pinching |
How do I assemble a solderless DC pedalboard cable?
- Disconnect the power supply and confirm the pedal's required connector size, voltage, current and polarity.
- Arrange the pedals and measure the cable path, leaving strain-relief slack at both ends.
- Cut the DC wire cleanly to the required length.
- Insert the wire fully into the compatible plug and secure the set screw.
- Check the finished cable for correct polarity and continuity before connecting a pedal.
What should I check before ordering POK-03?
First confirm that the selected option supplies the component you need. The current Shopify export lists 2.1mm DC plug X 12 pcs and DC wire X 5m as separate purchases, not as a single bundled option. Also verify connector fit, voltage, current capacity and center polarity for every pedal and power output.
Frequently asked questions
Does POK-03 require soldering?
No. The wire is cut to length, inserted into the plug and secured with a set screw.
Do the plugs and wire come together in every option?
No complete bundle is promised by the current export. It lists the 12-plug set and 5 m wire as separate options, so review the selected option before checkout.
Will POK-03 work with every guitar pedal?
Compatibility is not universal. Confirm the pedal's DC jack size, voltage, current requirement and polarity before assembly or connection.
Is POK-03 an audio patch-cable kit?
No. POK-03 is for compatible DC pedal-power wiring. IVU identifies POK-02 as its separate solderless 6.35 mm audio patch-cable system.
Should the finished cable be tested before use?
Yes. Check polarity and continuity before connecting power to a pedal, because incorrect DC wiring can damage equipment.
