Can a Sky Wireless WiFi Adapter Connector SC201 be used in place of a Sky SD 501 Connector?

[MichaelBere]

A friend of mine has a Sky SD501 Connector (on a Sky+ Box) that seems to have stopped working.

I have a Sky Wireless WiFi Adapter Connector SC201  with RJ45 Ethernet connections that I no longer use, as my later 2TB Box had built-in modem.

Can the SC201 be used as is instead of the SD501 on my friend's Sky+ BOx?

I haven't tried it, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. You'll need the the power supply that comes with the SC201 of course.

Thanks Mark39 for that. Yes, have the power supply. So will try it.

If you have a moment to let is know how you get on, it would satisfy my curiosity!

[MichaelBere]

Certainly will do. Have posted it to another part of the country. So will be a few days. Thanks.

Hello Mark39. Glad to say that, as you surmised, the SC201 works grand in its new home. Their Sky+ Box has a RJ56 connector so takes the "new" one. I gather the connector on SD501 is of the mini type. Thanks again.

Good to hear, @MichaelBere. Many thanks for letting us know. 🙂
