Hi, all.

I'm currently building a QDX, and am about to order a pre-built one. I've converted my shack to run on Anderson Powerpoles connectors. If anyone else is interested, I have used an eBay seller, based in the UK, who specializes in power cables with Powerpoles. I contacted him, mentioning the QDX power requirements, and he sent me a link to a cable he already produces. The cable is fused and has the product reference LD267.

I hope this is useful. I do not have any commercial interest in this offering.

That's nice.

It's VERY nice if you're already on PowerPoles, and it's priced only
slightly higher than what we'd pay for the individual pieces. And thee
pieces are not necessarily easy to assemble.

Shipping would be the death of most stateside hams, but if one of us
Yanks had a good connection in China, we could get a few dozens made
up for cheap enough to turn a small profit. Of course, if we could get
them transshipped and labeled "Assembled in Malaysia", we could avoid
the 25% tariff WE are supposed to pay on Chinese-sourced electronics.

Chris, Just checking what you are expecting the fused cable to protect. Are you intending the fuse to protect the load ( QDX ) or the source ( power supply ).
The QDX will protect the fuse but I suspect that is not the intention.

Hi, Geoff.

I saw the fuses as an added bonus, I was just looking for a 2.1 plug with Powerpoles on the other end. The seller has always sold good quality items, so wanted to highlight the item, for others.
