Short USB cable
« on: May 18, 2017, 04:28:26 pm »
I got my PAW this week, but I'd like a much shorter USB cable to connect to the power pack to make it tidier. Can anyone recommend a high quality one about 150mm or less?

Thanks

Hi Karl,

A few people have used the Right angled connecters which work well with a battery pack fastened to PilotAware

I don't have a source for these, hopefully someone will chip in ...
Just need to make sure the cable is capable of high power (20AWG) we use juicebitz

The shortest one of those seems to be 0.5m.

If you get a really short one, the quality shouldn't matter too much as there will be a fairly low resistance.

I see there are lots of 20cm leads for sale on e-bay for charging purposes.
