Power Cable

sn0pea · 06-05-2012, 06:37 PM

I need a new power cable for my xbox steering wheel so that the force feedback feature works and I'm a little clueless when it comes to this stuff.

I need this cable: http://azsurplus.com/index.php?main_...roducts_id=818
and it says 24V 1A with a tip of 5.5mmX2.1mmX10mm

I'm looking to get this cable to save money:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A2KV19AYUKS3X0
and it says 24V 1A, but the size of the tip is 5.5X2.1 but it doesn't list a length

So my question, does the length of the input matter +/- 1mm?

Is this a guess or an educated answer?

Base on what you listed (I didnt click on the links) the length of the cable shouldnt matter if all the other specs on spot on. Its just like saying... I have a longer garden hose to spray idiots off my lawn than the other one I have to wash my car. I had been using different cable lengths with same specs on various things and they work so my answer would be yes. But if I were you I would just go with the one that you know will work... its just around 14 dollars difference... thats like a meal..

I don't think he meant the length of the cable. He meant the length of the connector and from looking at the pictures on the link the item comes with multiple tips . One of them should fit.

Correct, I meant the length of the tip.
