Plug the other end into the CatKnobz RJ45 jack.CatKnobz requires 7VDC to 30VDC at around 160mA to operate. It has a standard 2.1mm DC jack and is wiredcentre pin positive (tip positive), an industry standard for may plug-packs (wall warts).You must use a power supply with a DC output.Do not use a power supply with AC output.CatKnobz can also provide power to CatDisplay232 or CatMeters via the CAT pass through port. Short the jumper on the back ofCatKnobz labelled “CatDisplay232 Power Link”. DC is then passed through to the connected device via the CAT cable. If youpurchased CatKnobz with CatDisplay232 or CatMeters, the link will be jumpered.If you have multiple CatKnobz solder “CatDisplay232 Power Link” & apply power to the CatKnobz directly connected to the transceiver.Then for each daisy chained CatKnobz, solder the “CatKnobz Power Link” & “CatDisplay232 Power Link”. The CAT cable connectingthe two CatKnobz will then carry power to the second CatKnobz (or CatDsipaly232 or CatMeters).MountingCatKnobz is supplied with a a bracket designed for FTDX10. Remove the bottom front 2x case screws. Position the bracket holes overscrew holes & reinstall screws. Do not over-tighten the screws. Extend the bottom transceiver bail foot.For other mounting ideas, you could remix this STL design file: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4838885© 2022 – Chris Day – ZL1CVD - New Zealand.
