Is anyone any good with power voltage? I am looking for a power supply for my Cisco Pix 506E and have found one in the USA which is Power Supply 110/220 Volts AC I live in the UK and wondering if this will work in the UK it's a power pack so I can plug my UK power lead (a PC one) into the power pack then the other end in my UK cisoc Pix 506E here is a pic http://www.de2.co.uk/power.jpg can anyone tell me if this would work? cheers mr O
Yes. It should take just a standard computer cord - the cords you would get there would just have the UK plug layour rather than the U.S. plug. I don't remember if it autosenses voltage or if you have to use a switch to set 220v rather than 110v, but make sure to do that if there is a switch.
It should work.. The complete specs would have been better than the pic. I have certain reservations about 220v psu's in the UK, especially US made ones. My mains out of the wall is always 240v and I have had problems with 220v equipment failing after a time due to being overrun. Just so you know.. PSU's mains rating is usually +/- 10% and 240 is exactly 8% over the rated input value. That means the unit will be running right on the top of it's safety margin, with very little overhead for mains surges etc.. It derpends how good your local power is, but I can't see any real problems with this item from either a safety or reliability view.
Thanks for the reply, It will be plugged in a power surge protector so should work a little better. thanks again for the info
