The DC cable with the fuse holder is 4Ft long. The extention Adaptaplug cable is 6ft long. I bought both since I figured I'd keep the Astron PSU as far from the radios as possible. So that's like 10 ft long together. I don't think there's any need to keep the PSU as far from the radios as possible. The SL-11A is not a switching supply, so it's not likely to generate noise. (I've not used a SL-11A but I do have a RS-20A which is perfectly quiet.) Problem is, I tried looking up the current rating capacity of this adaptaplug cable. I can't find any specs on it's properties on RS's site like it shows for the 4ft DC cable. The part # is 273-1740 for the 6 ft adaptaplug cable I want to use for the entire length. Do you think this cable has the needed current rating for my use? This cable's wires are much thinner then the other cables 22 AWG size. I can't even find the adaptaplugs cable AWG. Probably. 1.1 amps really isn't much current; it doesn't take a very big wire to carry it safely. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
