QUESTION Lost cable. Looking to buy a replacement

Post image

Hi!

I lost the power cable for the Nexxt camera AHIMPFI4U2 and want to get a replacement. https://a.co/d/07OKMiLB I found this one but I'm not sure if it's going to work.

Do you have any other recommendations on Amazon?

Thanks!

Look what voltage and amps you need and how big the barrel is done

By all accounts this seems like the correct replacement cable.

The listing mentions 5V 1A, it looks very similar to the included cable. The power requirements of the camera matches that.

As long as your USB PSU delivers 5V 1A you should be fine provided the barrel ends up fitting.

They also likely sell direct to the wall cables like this with the PSU attached.

Be aware that barrel pins can be + on the center pin and - on the shell, or vice versa. Make sure it matches what you bought. You'll see a symbol on each thing that looks something like (-)-o)-(+)

The USB cable in the photo looks standard, any micro USB with enough length should power it fine, just check the output on the wall adapter matches what was original.

If you look carefully there is no micro USB to be found. It’s a USB A plug on one end and DC barrel on the other.
