Blue pine power cable

My rabbit has chewed through the blue pin power cable for our sky q box. Do I have to contact sky to replace it? Iv looked online and can't fine one

Hi @Em19 

The power cable is a normal figure of 8 (C7) cable.

Readily available

@Em19  hope the bunny is okay...

 

If you search ebay for 'sky q power cable', loads will come up for less than a tenner.

Hi @Em19 

Becoming a bit clearer .

I suspect it is for a 3rd party Broadband router and not for a Q box.

@oldfella yes sorry it does go into the back of the broadband box not the sky q box 🙈 would the cable from myvolt work?

No idea @Em19 

You would need to check the Power Supply voltage and current to make sure that it is identical to your damaged one.

Also the power pin must be the same size and polarity.

 

Power pins can be wired different .

Have you asked your Broadband supplier if they can supply a power lead or even a new router complete?
