Re: Longer power cables?

2009-02-13 by djbrow54

This is what I use.  It's just a 6 pin MTA connector but the pins 
extend equally long on both sides.  I just piggyback cables together 
when I need an extension to work outside the cabinet.  I always check 
it twice - red to red and white to white.  I don't know where I got 
it - been too long.

I also have soldered back to back connectors with a break in one of 
the power rails so I can measure current.  Have one for each of the 
three voltages.
