Power cable CradlePoint 170585-001, 3 m, black, replacement power lead

CradlePoint 170585-001 is a 3 m black replacement power cable designed for compatible CradlePoint networking devices. The cable offers a three-meter reach to enable flexible placement of routers, gateways and modems while maintaining a reliable power connection. It features a 2×2 Molex connector on one end and direct wire leads on the other, with 22 AWG conductors suitable for standard low-voltage DC power delivery.

Advantages

This replacement power lead provides extended reach and installation flexibility without requiring additional adapters. The 2×2 Molex connector ensures a secure mating with devices designed for this connector type, while the direct wire end allows straightforward integration with power supplies or terminal blocks. The 22 AWG wire gauge balances flexibility and current-carrying capacity for typical router power requirements, and the black jacket offers a discreet appearance for office or home installations.

How to use

Identify the power input on the CradlePoint device and confirm compatibility with the 2×2 Molex connector. Align and insert the Molex connector until it seats securely. Connect the direct wire leads to the corresponding terminals or power supply outputs, observing correct polarity and secure fastening. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges and strain points; secure with cable clips or ties as needed. After installation, power the supply and verify the device receives stable power.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with a 2×2 Molex power input before installation. Use appropriate strain relief and avoid routing the cable near high-temperature surfaces or sharp edges. For permanent installations, confirm wire terminations are secure and protected from moisture and corrosion.
