RBS50Y Power lead length
Does anyone know the length of the power lead: (a) Orbi connector to power block (b) Power block to UK plug I want to mount this on an outside wall and pass the DC power line through the wall t...
Would be easier to just run a power extension cable out to the power adapter for the RBSY.
I may be incorrect, but my understanding of the electrical code is that 120volt electricity cannot be run through walls, whereas low voltage wires can. Building codes are such a nuisance!
Well for most U.S. buildings v120 is already in walls. :smileytongue:
For an extension to be used, one would need a outdoor power outlet if this is for a RBSY which is out door. Thus a extension could be used. Cable placement and management would be good to include as well. :smileywink:Yes, I think that is exactly the problem. With no electrical outlet close to the satellite location, it is a choice of (a) install a code compliant electrical outlet on the outside, or (b) run a low voltage cable through the wall from an indoor electrical outlet and stick some silicon calk in the hole.
Thanks for your thoughts guys.
Clearly, this is something that has perhaps been overlooked in the product design.
