An XT60 “1 male to 1 female” connector is a high‑current, low‑resistance extension cable designed to safely increase the distance between an XT60‑equipped battery and its load, such as an electronic speed controller (ESC) or charger. Ideal for RC models, drones, and portable power systems, this cable delivers a secure, plug‑and‑play power link with robust polarity protection.

Specifications

• Connector Type: XT60 male to XT60 female


• Wire Gauge: 12 AWG or 14 AWG silicone wire


• Wire Material: Tinned copper for low resistance and corrosion resistance


• Insulation: Flexible silicone sheath, high‑temperature and wear resistant


• Rated Current: Continuous 30 A – 60 A, peak up to 120 A


• Rated Voltage: Up to 500 VDC (actual depends on battery)


• Connector Housing: High‑temp nylon, yellow


• Contacts: Gold‑plated spring pins and sockets molded into housing


• Length Options: Various lengths available, from short adapters to up to 10 ft cables

Key Features

• Secure, high‑current connection with minimal power loss


• Keyed design prevents reverse polarity


• Durable nylon housing and gold‑plated contacts resist heat, corrosion, and wear


• Highly flexible silicone wire for easy routing in tight spaces


• Plug‑and‑play simplicity – no soldering required

Applications

• RC drones, planes, and cars – extend run time or connect multiple packs


• Battery testing – run multiple LiPo packs together


• DIY portable power systems – merge several batteries into one supply


• Extension of power cables – increase distance between battery and ESC or charger


• Portable power stations, solar panels, generators, marine and mobile power setups

Important Safety Notes

• Connect only batteries of the same voltage and similar charge levels


• Never parallel‑connect a full battery with an empty one


• Use the correct wire gauge (12–14 AWG) for the intended current


• Keep cable runs as short as practical to minimize resistance
