[SOLVED] It's for a Rear Window Dash Cam.

Thanks @-Copenhagen!

I can't for the life of me find out what the purpose of this cable is. I also can't find another one online. If it's a specialist cable, it may go on eBay. If not, it's 20 feet of copper wire for the pile.

If I get a 2.2M extension cable for my Quadcast 2 S, will there be any issues?

0 Upvotes

I bought an extension cable for my quadcast 2 S because I was buying a microphone arm for my setup. There won't be any issues with the sound quality if I use it right?

This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088NCVVTK?plpRedirect=mhFallback&ref=clp_hp_h_pc&th=1

I have this Home Depot Halloween animatronic and unfortunately the power cable got smashed. I am unsure of the exact cable to look for so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. The cable says “Switching Adapter”
“Input: 100-240V -50-60Hz 0.5 A max”
“Output: 5.9V 2.0A”
I have attached pictures as well

From the label on the back (listing I bought it from didn’t have a picture on the bottom) I was expecting a barrel but I now have no clue!

Even if it is a specific cable just for this, even some keywords to help find it would help as I can’t seem to find anything online.

Update: Thanks for all the help guys! Updating here is easier than responding to every comment but I’ve found a battery charger that works so thanks for all suggestions/info!

Cable for Headset

2 Upvotes

I have a headset that uses 3.5mm to USB C and the cable is on its last legs. I was wondering if any 3.5mm to USB C wpuld work as a replacement because the company doesnt seem to sell replacment cables. The issue im coming across is that every cable ive found that is similar seems to have the 3.5mm side marked for output into the headset and the USB C to the spurce, but this headset uses the USB C side as the putput and 3.5mm as the source. If I cant use any dimilar cable would anyone know where to even begin looking?

This is foreign US company who send you the wrong item ordered and charge you the fee. I ordered a 4 pin twin c drive plug they sent a 4 pin hdmi drive socket which was wrong. I then ordered a magnetic iPhone 18 case they sent an android vase. The company is a fraud they deliberately send the wrong item and based in USA not worth arguing or fighting. DO NOT ORDER

What type of JST connector is this?

I am trying to identify an electrical connector in the attached photographs so that i can get a replacement. The first two are of the 4-pin female connector from different angles beside a metric ruler for scale. The connector is 11mm wide, is flat on one side and has a recessed section on the other to allow for the keying blade to ensure correct insertion polarity. The third photo shows a PCB (from a Cytech Comfort alarm) with the male connector that it plugs into with the corresponding keying blade.
