Hi guys,

Does anyone know what size/spec barrel connection is used on the MLA for 1600sw? I've got one without an adapter - I have a spare 12V 1A AC/DC adapter but just need to get the correct barrel so I can splice it on,,,

Measuring with a ruler, my Multilink's DC plug is 2.5mm inside, 5.5mm outside. I'll have to see if I can find my calipers around somewhere to get a better measurement...

Is 1A enough? The rated output on the OEMs is 3.3A.

Sure is - My MLA is rated for 500mA input.
