USB PSUs with C14 inlet?
Has anyone seen any decent USB PSUs (2A ideally) with a IEC C14 style inlet? (or even better a pass through)? (basically for an application where I have a power feed to a commercial display TV, that is presented only on normal C13 style mains lead. No easy way of getting to the supply end, so I need a way of splitting the power to feed the TV and also an additional USB PSU to run a Raspberry Pi (the TV has no USB sockets of its own)) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

On ebay you can buy C14 to C7 adapters. I also found a cable that had a C14 on one end and three C13 on the other end. Would that not achieve waht you want? -- Michael Chare |

I also found this on RS: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/iec-c...pters/2110682/ Cut one plug off, graft on a €śstandard€ť UK 13 amp socket and plug your USB PSU into that? Its a bit clunky and lumpy since this will have to be on display of the rear of the TV. (The TVs are mounted on a ceiling pole in the window of a shop front). A more "laptop" layout of USB supply might make it a bit neater. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I have an aukey one That's quite small and neat by the looks of it. actually mine have C8 rather than C14 inlets C8 I can cope with if needs be. Just wanted to avoid having to go BS1362 / Wall wart style PSUs -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Yup, that's an option, although a tad less "off the shelf" than I would like for this particular application. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
