Printer power cord

[Kevin Eldridge]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a power cord for a Dell V725W printer as I cannot locate the one I purchased for this printer.

Does anyone have a spare one they can let me have or I can pay you for it?

Thank you very much,

Kevin Eldridge

If it takes the same sort of power cord as desktop computers, you can likely get one at an office supply store.

Perhaps you can be specific about the type of connector:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320

Or if you were anywhere close to me (which you are not because I live so
far out in the sticks), I have collected hundreds of standard power
cords over the years. They breed if you leave them together in dark places.

Hi Howard,

I will look at the web site Curt provided, thank you Curt, and get the exact printer cable I need to see if you have it. Since you live so far out, maybe we could meet half way.

My number is 615-830-4541. Text me your number or call me so I have your number, if you do not mind.

Thank you Howard,

If you need the very standard C13 style, stop by Watkins.  I'll probably require you take at least ten - Howard is right, they multiply in the dark.

It's very commonly used by Dell.  We don't have any surplus of them, where I've mainly seen them is in the inline PoE injector supplies for UniFi access points.  You wouldn't be happy with one of those cords though, they're about 18" in length.

If no one has spares, try monoprice.com

If you're searching for it, the technical name for it is a C5 plug.

FYI:  I've seen many Dell laptop power supplies that has that as the first part of the cable in recent years.  I hadn't seen it on a printer before, but I haven't seen many printers lately.  (Vanderbilt instituted a policy about 3 years ago of having large departmental printers, unless a case is made to justify it.)

Also look at eBay. Worst comes to worst you can get an HP power supply
that uses that connector.

I suspect you can find the power cord only if you snoop around a bit.
They are fairly common.

If you don't find it next several days let me know. I might be able to
dig one up.

Thank you David and everyone for the responses. Howard texted me that he has one. I will try to get together with him this weekend to get the cord, if possible.

If that is not possible, I might seek you out.

Thanks again,

Kevin

Or there are the normal horrible suggestions... Go look at Best Buy or Lowe's or Sears Appliance (or appliance repair shop) with a sketch or pix of what it needs to look like and say 'I NEED ON OF THEM THAIR THINS THAT PLUG IN LIKE THAT FOR THE ELECTRIC WHATCHAMACALLIT' (in my best TN southern backwoods drawl!) <grin> ... and some good-ol-boy behind the counter would be glad to help! 

I think I found one at WMT for one I was missing at one time with a 'polarized two wire plug and socket end' (kind of a figure 8 style with one of the 8's having a flat end).

Normally, I give up and buy a couple of the wrong kind from a internet-only dealer or ebay unless I am in a particular hurry!  Sometimes replacing the appliance socket with a grommet and a dedicated plug works too.  But feel confident in your soldering and have plenty of shrink wrap tubing and electrical tape on hand! :-)
