    How to convert 12VAC to 12VDC?

    Running an extension cord (if they have an outdoor receptacle) is by far the easiest - and the most dangerous. But! (there's always a but!) I ain't giving up.

    How to convert 12VAC to 12VDC?

    Here ya go: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SGMW4K8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2GZV18BGDGGH2&coliid=I1LZXWKS32YTQZ The only thing I don't know is if the output is regulated. This would work great for my application but the pricing blows me out of the water. But, if you only...

    How to convert 12VAC to 12VDC?

    oOk..I'm hoping I can cover all the bases. Why 12vac to 12vdc instead of 120vac to 12vdc. - - - the converter module I am hoping for will be incorporated into a design for yard ornaments. #1 Running a 120vac extension cord across a yard for days on end is pretty stupid. Very stupid. #2 Most...

    How to convert 12VAC to 12VDC?

    Up a creek and need some design

But - when they went with a different vendor - well, the original vendor isn't going to allow any binding to their line. And to seal my fate...

    Up a creek and need some design

    I am literally up the creek right now...and I need all the help I can to fish this out of the tank. I have two ISP providers. One is providing a single T1 1.5M. They will terminate into their router and provide the standard ethernet handoff. ISP#2 is pulling in two T1 1.5's and binding at their...
