Super Hub 5 Power Cable Extension

Hi.

I've just received my Super Hub 5. Unfortunately the power cable is too short and I was hoping someone can guide me on which one I need. The one supplied by VM is a Sagemcom CS 50001.

I had a power extension cable for Super Hub 1 as well but that one doesn't fit Super Hub 5 even though it looks similar. So I need some advice which is the right one. 

Thanks.

Only the supplied power supply is supported to work with the Hub 5. There isn't an official alternative.

You'll need to use a extension lead to bring the power socket closer to the Hub's power adapter, rather than the other way around. You can get 1 socket leads to minimise the extra bulk.

Hi.

But I'm not really after an alternative.

What I did for Super Hub 1 was use something like this as an extension:

What I want is something similar for Hub 5 but I don't know specifically which one it is...

So that means I still use the official adapter but its just extended. 

Thanks.

You should really never extend a low voltage DC cable, especially with one of those thin wire cheap ones, you will get a voltage drop that may well affect the connected equipment.
