I think it's easier to find a PSU with a standard round DC connector, like this one and thus we need a converter cable to our Molex power connector. http://domino2.kycon.com/catalog_PDF/KLDX_SMT2.pdf
Not knowing center pin polarity or exact center pin size, it seems as though digikey (http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/power-supplies-external-internal-of...) has 348 that are 12-18v output, 10-20w, and have connectors that are 2.1mm ID to 2.5mm ID
I haven't realized that DigiKey, Avnet and others have PSU section, thanks!
On a side note, for power -Something that could come in useful since its got ethernet, PoE?
PoE is an option, but UmTRX require too much power for the standard PoE and we think that for lab usage PoE is an overkill.
- Enclosure. We'd love to have a nice table-top enclosure for UmTRX,
but it requires a significant effort to source, design and assemble.
If anyone has some preexisting case designs, there's always protocase (protocase.com) or Rapid sheet metal (http://www.rapidsheetmetal.com/parts/enclosures.aspx) -Im sure theres plenty of other sheetmetal fabshops that will do custom work though, If youre wanting to use something a bit more generic -Theres enclosurehub.com
Interesting. Do you know similar ones in Europe? We manufacture in France and shipping enclosures from US doesn't look like a good idea.
