Hi guys
I'm going to attempt the over Ethernet set up with my box, i'm not 100% sure which power supply I require and the last thing I want to do is blow my box up ! I'm based in the US, can anyone point me in the right direction to the requirements please ?
Kinetic once advised for SBS-1eR:
I always recommend 12v DC Centre positive 300ma

Thanks Anmer, I guess I would just stick some sort of usb adapter on the end of one then as a search doesn't seem to being any up with a USB connection as standard so to speak
Isn't the connector a Mini-B?
Maybe a suitable adapter for the power supply?

Sorry, the SBS-1eR had dual power options:
1. USB
2. DC supply with 5.5mm jack, 2.5mm pin

looks like it, can't find one with that adapter on by default - thanks for the help

Oh, that changes things - I'll find something from that - thanks :)
I've used variable DC supplies that come with a range of connectors.
Like this:

Hi Anmer,
would this work ?

Check the jack socket and pin size.
I have only ever used the USB-B connector on my SBS-1e.
Something like this:

with a USB phone/tablet charger.
Safer than finding the correct PSU.
@ flyoverfred
Are you planning to use the power supply to feed the downstream PoE connection?

Hey Anmer, I'm not 100% sure what that means but my plan is to mount my aerial in the attic and run the sbs1-er over ethernet - so i need to power the box with a plug rather than the usb

yeah that's how i've always done it but I can't do that going forward as per the post above
So the antenna is in the attic alongside the SBS-1eR, where you have mains power? I assume Ethernet into the SBS-1eR and the other end into a network access point? Or direct to PC?
If the above SBS-1eR location is correct, you need to power it using a suitable DC supply using either the jack socket (as I described) or a powered USB as IanH suggested. Both should work and easy to test the later.

yeah mains power in the attic, ethernet to a access point then into the pc from there
Thanks.
I would think either option will power your SBS-1eR though I'd prefer a configurable DC output and jack connection. Never sure what output you'll get from USB.
