Need Extension Cable For LED Monitor
I just purchased an LG 24M38H LED monitor. It comes with a DC power
adapter similar to this one: http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-accessories/lg-WCP-700TA-wireless-charging-pad The problem that I am having is that the cable is only approx. 4 ft long. So, I am trying to find an extension cord but I am not having much luck with the local electronics store. Is there a site online that specializes in the kind of extension cord that I need? I don't have a caliper but it looks to me that the plug is roughly 5-6 mm in diameter. Thanks. -- tb --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

If it's both mobile and wireless, I woudl think they could get together somehow, but monoprice.com is one of the two best places for cables. There are some they don't have, but many they do. |

It's inefficient and unreliable to extend the DC barrel connector. Just use a two-prong AC extension on the power brick AC input, instead. Or do what I do, fasten an AC power strip under the table... |

Need Extension Cable For LED Monitor
An extension cord on the AC input side of the power adapter is what I have done many times over the past 50 years of using electronics with power bricks. At first, I sort of felt funny doing it, but a couple of AC extension cords save a lot of $$$ compared to buying extension cords for the load side of all those various power bricks,

Everyone has swayed me that this is a better idea, but I feel obliged for the record to say that, when an Acer laptop had a bad power jack, I was able to buy one from Amazon. I think I bought another size for another reason too. So you'd just have to match the plug and use some speaker wire and tape, or silicon(e) tape and you'd have an extension cord. |

Everyone has swayed me that this is a better idea, but I feel obliged for the record to say that, when an Acer laptop had a bad power jack, I forgot to say that it was problaby not the jack, just a bad solder connection to the Mobo, but I wanted to have the part ready when the thing was open. That was for when the problem got serious, but it was alleviated just by having the cord come from a direction that tugged a little on the jack in the right direction, or at least didn't tug in the wrong direction. I was able to buy one from Amazon. I think I bought another size for another reason too. So you'd just have to match the plug and use some speaker wire and tape, or silicon(e) tape and you'd have an extension cord. And also an unaccounted-for voltage drop ... Do you think another 10 feet can cause a voltage drop? 2 amps x 0.01 ohms is 0.02 volts - or less. Isaac |

Isaac With the wire comming from China you never know. Some of it is copper plated aluminum and a bit shy of the AWG for the number they give. I had some inexpensive alligator clips with about 18 inches of wire seperating them. Playing with a power supply of a couple of volts and about 1 ohm of load resistance. Notice the voltage and current and resistance did not come close to the formular for voltage drop. Some checking the clips and thought the crimp may be bad. Soldered them and still not beter. The wire its self had about 1/2 of an ohm in 18 inches. Wow, that's a lot. I just bought another bag of those jumper wires, but I still have about 8 from 20 or 30 years ago. I think they're longer too so I should be able to tell them apart, and I will rely on the old ones. I'll go measure the new ones when I'm there and I think of it. |
