Hello,
I'm m trying to move my router. Limited sockets means to do this I need to extend the power cable, standard DC cables do not fit, seems its a 6.3/3.0mm port, I'm failing miserably after 5 cable attempts and have also tried DC adaptors, which also do not seem to work with the original cable.
Does anyone have any suggestions? it seems the original cable is niche and doesn't like anyone messing with it.
Thanks
is there any reason you cannot just use a power extension cable and then plug existing hub plug into that?
Hi,
I was hoping to be able to feed the small cable and tac round and under furniture/fixtures, also needs to go round a door frame, so not as discreet, and would need a super long one to get to the opposite side of the room, ethernet is easy. If there's no other option I may need to resort to this, it's an old house. Very sparse outlets. But I was hoping there may be a less visible option.
Get an electrician in to fit a new socket near the hub and run the cable in plastic conduit, you'll hardly notice it if he does a good job.
Never thought of that, thank you

Have you thought of using poe with a splitter at the hub end and a suitable adapter cable?
Ooh, excellent, I'll take a look thank you.
