wall wart length
Is it possible to make a wall wart cord longer by splicing the appropriate
size wire into it? If so what size wire would I use? I want to make it about 5 or 6 feet longer. Patt |

I P want to make it about 5 or 6 feet longer. P Patt Just use wire of the same approximate diameter, If I need to splice a section like this, I seperate the strands and cut them different lengths ie: cut the positive a little longer than the negative and cut the new peice offset to match. Another 5 or 6 feet won't make any significant difference. With best regards, 3T39. E-mail: |

Patt If your wall wart uses a standard and easily available connector, you may consider making an extension cable rather than splicing in more wire. The biggest advantage you have with the extension cable is the ability to take it off. Puckdropper -- www.uncreativelabs.net Old computers are getting to be a lost art.
