need help with voltage supply for cable modem
Hi,
A friend moved and mailed me her RCA cable modem, model dcm305r, becasue they don't have cable service where she lives in N.C. In the move, however, the power module was lost. The unit has printed on it: 11Vdc and 600 mAmps. Looking thorugh my parts bin I found a 12Vdc and 500 mAmps one. Do you think it's safe to use it to power the modem? Thanks in advance for you ideas. |

Is it worth risking the modem to you?
