Dual PSU starter cable

[dbates]

Does anyone know anywhere in the UK which sells the y-splitter cable to fire up two PSU's at the same time?

I know I could make one, but this is for work so a) I can't be bothered, and b) we'd like the backup of getting it from a retailer

Well I know Kustom do one but it might be worth shouting up the lads @ ST who I would imagine could get hold of one.

If you want me to move this to ST forums et me know

I couldn't see one at Kustom, don't suppose you could fire me a link?

I know you said that you can't really be bothered to wire them up yourself but it should be a pretty simple to do. This may be your only option if you can't find a switch. I can think of an easy way to do it without acctualy having to crack open either of the PSU's. Why exactly do you need to run 2? One for computer and the other for casemods?

Couldn't find it on Kustom either seems they stopped doing it

link the green wire to your switch and then to ground black wire but the power suply would turn off as soon as you press the button so it would be best to get a connecter

Cheers. Actually, we were planning on using a Stacker case, and it looks like it might come with the cable included anyway :worship:

Yep the stacker does indeed come with one (well: the normal stacker does I know)
