Need to Replace 7.4x5.1 DC Plug on CAX80 Power Supply
I need to replace the DC 7.4mm OD x 5.1mm ID (5.0 mm actual) barrel connector without a center pin that is on my Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 power supply. How can I purchase this from Netgear or anywhere else?
I need either the plug itself or a dongle or a hanging plug with the 2 + and - wires. I do not want to have to purchase a new power supply, just the 7.4x5.1 replacement plug.
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.
Opening the case on the modem would void any warranty.
Would be just easier to replace the power adapter of the one that came in box doesn't work.

Would be nothing available for your needs. If you need the plug, you'd have to get another power adapter.
Are you needing a longer cable run for the cax80?
No, I am replacing the original power supply with an OEM 19v, 4.5a power supply that comes with a DC cable with a 5.5 x 2.1 plug and an Aviation GX12-2 connector. I cannot find a 7.4 x 5.0 adapter without a center pin anywhere. All available 7.4x5.0 plugs and adapters have a center pin.
Can I change the jack in the CAX80 modem/router to accept the 5.1 x 2.1 male plug?
Thank you.
