  BM Mini Converter Power Distro

  Posted by David Peralta on February 7, 2017 at 3:19 am

  Hi Guys,

  Just checking if there is any 12v power distros that can be used for Mini Converters? We are rackmounting a good number of our mini converters, and these wall warts are not helping the cause.

  Thanks

  Dave

  if you buy the Teranex Mini series of converters, these do not use wall wart power supplies. You can rack mount three of them side by size, and they can be powered with a normal AC cord, or you can use a Ethernet PoE switch to power them with an ethernet cable. As for your existing wall wart converters, go on to Amazon, and buy 1′ AC extension cords (they sell them in 10 packs for $15 bucks) and this will resolve this issue. Its crazy to see these thick 12″ AC cables with the wall wart hanging off of them, actually running the skinny little cable for the DC adaptor.
