Like Leo I don’t use these little red boxes but when you look online at the specs , the 12V outputs are 3amp rated each and assuming they are centre positive ( ASIAIR don’t provide data on polarity so you would have to assume centre positive like the majority of 12V power ports )
So maximum wattage of your heater strip can’t exceed say 30watts at 3 amps
Most popular heater strips like Kendrick ( which I use are 12V 5amp rated , but more robust )
Some heater strip cables from the heater band use an insulated conductor for centre core positive and a braided shield type conductor for negative. So shortening / splicing or fitting new plugs as a result of shortening them is a pain in the butt unless your an electronics buff and have all the right gear ( mini soldering iron and so on … )
Personally I’d just go and buy some decent quality RCA plugs ( eg Jaycar or Startech brand ) at the correct length. Cheaper and simpler
That’s what I use for my Kendrick heaters as they are too damn short for my 8” and 10” Carbon fibre Newtonians , so I extended them with standard RCA leads and they work fine and dandy.
Cheers
Martin
