Push 2 Longer and Angled Power Supply?

Post by JazzyJacck » Thu Feb 01, 2018 10:44 pm

I use my Push 2 angled up right in front of my computer screen. I need an right angled cable like the USB cable so the power cable doesn't touch the screen and I can push it back farther on my cramped desk. I also need the cable to be longer. I have browsed the other topics about Push 2 power supplies, but I couldn't find an answer to my problem. I believe the size of the 2.5mm.

I have found these but not sure if they work:

https://www.amazon.com/AC-DC-ADAPTER-12 ... B00ATES590
https://www.allelectronics.com/item/ps- ... ply/1.html

I know it's DC12V 1.25A, the Input is 100 - 240V and the output is 12V 15W, etc.. Do all these specifications need to be met for the cable to work properly?

Power supply needs to be:

- 12v DC (regulated) Output (input power/connection just has to be suitable for your region)
- 1.5Amp or higher capacity output
- 2.5mm DC plug (with centre +ve)

Out of the 3 you posted:

This one would be fine

This one is 200mA (0.2A) so not enough power

This one has a 2.1mm plug so too small, no good

the specs look right, but the metal barrel of the plug itself looks like it is too short, and therefore doesn't go into the Push 2 far enough to make full contact (the plug barrel of the standard Push 2 power supply is about 13mm long).

I just tested this by partially withdrawing my standard Push 2 power supply plug, and it lost connection after a couple of millimeters.

Ridiculous design to be fair. If you're going to put an angled USB cable in then really you should angle the power supply or do both one way or the other so at least your covered from questions. I haven't been able to source one, I bought one and it had the right specs also but didn't work for the same reason as above. I have this case that it fits perfectly into and a power supply that's angled is all I would need to make it never need to be taken out at shows.

i always thought it was odd that the USB cable was angled but the power cable wasnt too. :oops:
