cheesestraws Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Silly question - does anyone know the physical dimensions of the barrel jack connector that the Newton PSU uses to connect to the PDA? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trag Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Really not a silly question. Keeping track of all those jack sizes can be important, especially as the power brick usually fails before the device. Unfortunately I don't know the answer. Recently I bought this adapter that comes with many jinterchangeablevtips. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015PXUHYA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Context: I'm using my eMate as a serial terminal for my rackmount kit, and I need a wire long enough to run to the PDU of the rack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blusnowkitty Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Have you thought about using a normal PDU cable and then using something like this on the other end? PDU to Outlet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheesestraws Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Yup: though I'm in the UK, so our outlets are slightly bulkier . But I already have a UK PDU in my rack along with my IEC PDU, because I've already got a bunch of stuff that uses wall transformers in there (RouterBoards and my LC II hack). So it will make the wiring a lot more manageable if I can get a barrel jack extender, rather than having the newton PSU hanging about on the end of a wire. But I may have to go that route.
