UK Supplier of Davis USB 7m Cable for Airlink/WLL

Post by SJG1976 »

Is it possible to get one of the Davis USB to WLL/Airlink cables in the UK for the 7m Range.

USB Power Cord - 25' (7.5 m)

It's on the Davis Website, but I can't find any available here in the UK.

I'd like one so I. An mount my Airlink in a better position without having to resort to cutting and joining the cable.

Or using other power options.

ha!

I've been wanting to do this for ages. You can buy extension cables, but I have searched and searched, ands the problem is, try finding one with a 90° jack that fits the AirLink socket..

Interesting that a proper kit exists, though. Shame it's not here in the UK.

Yes didn't know if someone would import.

I'm tempted just to buy a 1.8m spare and just cut and extend.

It just seems a waste though when they are out there...

The Correct Davis Part Number is a SKU-6628 (7m USB)
The 6627 is the 2m version

I've asked some suppliers if they can get hold of them...

I've had too replies back from Suppliers.

Not sure if I'm allowed to posts the names of them on here but the Replies are as follows:

Code: Select all

Are you also able to get hold of the 7m Version? (SKU-6628)

Yes, we can make a special order with Davis. We will add this to our store as soon as it becomes available.
And also

Code: Select all

Thank you for your enquiry.
I am not holding stock but will ask our buying department to look into it. At the moment I do not have pricing and delivery would be around two weeks.
Please update me if you wish me to proceed.
I've also noticed that the Power Cable and Supply from the VP2 Console is much longer than the one supplied with the Airlink, just a shame it has the ferrite core on it.

I just used an old cheap USB extension lead I had lying around - but the join is indoors. I guess you could put it in a waterproof cable joint box, or just wrap it in self amalgamating tape?
