Hub One longer length power supply/extension cable

[#1]

Anyone out there know where I can purchase a longer length power supply or an extension cable for a hub one? I've seen plenty of 2.1mm dc cables, but none for the 3.1mm (ish) cable the hub one takes. A 5m cable would do it.
I've read a few other posts with no solution.

@Jrfraser83  Welcome to the forum.

Two obvious solutions.

1. Use a mains extension cable instead.

2. Carefully cut the cable and join in a longer length, making sure that the cores aren't shorted together or crossed over.

Amazon has a variety.

I am already plugged into a multi extension so dont really want to plug another one into it. Without going Into detail, a longer dc adapter cable is the only option.

Amazon seem to only have 2.1mm diameter adapter cables. The hub seems to have a 3mm diameter.

I've found this on Ebay.
Anyone know if this will work?

This, or something similar could do the job, maybe

As long as it has reasonably thick wire in it, it should be OK.

Remember you are pulling 1-2 Amps through the cable, and if the copper is too thin you might drop a volt or two along a fairly long cable.

@daveplus
I already have one of those.. they are only 1.5m ish long. I Need 5m and still dont think that one has 3.1mm Internal as needed

@wisty
It's the diameter pin at the router end I am asking about. Is there an official plusnet technical department who can advise me?. I believe its 3.1mm internal (as mentioned in other forums) but there is only the 3.3mm one I found on the market.

God knows why this hub is the only appliance in the world with this power pin diameter? I have a photo but cant seem to find out how to attach it to here?

@Jrfraser83

How did you measure the plug?

Dont have that banner on my mobile?

@daveplus
With a ruler. Have taken a photo but cant add it via my mobile. It's in my public photo album though?

The HH 4 & 5 PSU I have here is 5.5mm OD and 3mm ID (measured with a micrometer and pin gauge).

The HH6 is the same. But it's definitely a non standard size.

Its 20 AWG cable so on a 6M length @1amp you will drop about 0.5v

Would a long ethernet cable to connect a switch to the router enable you to achieve what you wantby a different route?
