Sky Multiroom power cable.

Hi guys,

The supplied Multiroom cable is too short for our fitiment - I've got some of this, its the right configuration, will it be alright do you think? Are there any specific Sky standards or anything that need to be adhered too?

Or something like this, off the shelf?

Thanks!

Hi @slipd

Any IEC C7 cable will be suitable

Any equipment that doesn't have an external power adapter will always be fine with a mains connection that physically fits because it will always expect 50Hz AC at about 230V.

The only question is how high a fuse rating you should have and for electronics other than big amplifiers, 3A gives you plenty of headroom (3A x 230V = up to ~690Watts and a Sky mini probably draws about 50W)
