Due to some poor planning on a recent living room remodel, our components partially hang off the shelf due to not enough back room. (The shelves are a pitiful 10" deep. Rookie move, I know...) Our STB already has a right angle plug. (Just need to get an HDMI right angle adapter for that.) But our old Panasonic Blu-ray player has a (seemingly uncommon) IEC320 C7 plug (see attached image). The more common C7 (aka figure 8) versions can be found easily. I have scoured the interwebs with no luck. Does anyone knoe where I might get this with a right-angled plug (i mean the female end that plugs into the player)? I am open to other solutions if they exist! Thank you!
Yeah, wow, I couldn't find one either... Very odd that one isn't readily available.
The only difference is the polarization - so if you can cram (or shave off a bit of plastic) one of the "regular" right-angle connectors so it will fit - you just need to ensure you've got the plug in the correct orientation. Basically get a right-angle C7 cord with a polarized AC plug (so you only have to figure this out once for certain!), match the orientation of the C7 end, shave off a bit of the correct side of the C7 so it fits, and you're done...
Thanks, jautor. I grabbed a figure 8 right angle earlier. But I have no idea which side is which (orientation). My guess is that if I do a trial and error, I risk frying my Blu-ray player?
Power cable specialists, contact them directly and see if they can't build it for you.
