G'day Peter,

I bought a crimper and I have been making my own cables using 15, 30 and 45 amp Powerpoles. I've mainly used the 15 amp ones but for the main power feed to the scope and a couple of high current devices (dew heater and U16M camera) I used heavy duty cable and connectors.

Most of the cables have a red-black Powerpole pair at one end and a 2.1mm or 2.5mm centre positive jack plug at the other end. It's wise to check (and re-check) the original PSU for each device with a meter, of course.

Cheers,
Rick.
