will this ^^^ connector above allow me to run my biterupter cube off straight DC 12v at say 20 amps spike voltage? or whatever it needs?

the connector is a PCI-e so yes it will fit the block erupter cube. The wires are thick and it can definitely handle 20A peak (I would be a bit cautious going any higher without babysitting it until you are sure it is not getting hot). the leads can be joined to a 12V power supply however you please (soldering them to a server PSU to use with antminers is my primary use)

Thanks!

Hello friends, I am sorry to barge in, but will this ^^^ connector above allow me to run my biterupter cube off straight DC 12v at say 20 amps spike voltage? or whatever it needs?

I do not want to fry my cube. Also, I do not want to continue the loud power supply. I do have a soldering iron. Thanks! ^^^ This connector above seems perfect to plug right into the power connectors on my bit eruptor cube, but how shall I not fry it with too much surge? Shalln't anyone make a way to ditch the power supply from the BE cube? Thanks, I will watch this thread and learn!

Those look like the leads are ~1ft long. Is that correct, and can you get them a little longer, say 2ft?

they are 30cm (11.9"?) so yeah about a foot.

I can definitely get them made longer, such as 2ft, for probably not much more, but am unable to do so until I organise selling off some of this current batch. The wires are really good and thick so there is zero chance of these burning up due to shitty 18-22awg stuff will. If you look at the image the tinned ends are FAT

I got these to terminal to some fat 8AWG wiring that comes off my server PSUs (rather than solder dozens of thin wires to the supply), since that lets me run a few pci-e leads per 8AWG cable

Yeah, that is an option as well. I have four 1300W HP power supplies and am just going to solder four cables directly onto the power leads and the extra length would be good. I suppose I could do a butt connection though, it would be easy enough.

These should be buy 1 get 1 free. Or .45BTC (at the very least). These will never ROI unless you save your coins and pray bitcoin goes up.

Let me know where you find gear for 2.6$ /Gh, VAT included and mining in less than a week.

I wait. Embarrassed

Just got these in today - I have several dozen for sale and can order more if required.

6-pin PCI-e connector (black)
30cm, 16AWG wires (yellow and black)
tinned ends on wire (1cm tinned)

These are solid connectors and far superior to the garbage 18AWG connectors found on ebay. I have yet to test them on hardware, but there should be absolutely no problem carrying 200W or more (potentially upwards of 250W) through these leads. (In comparison, I have seen other cheap 18awg wiring melt or burn at over 150W)

SHIPPING FROM TORONTO, CANADA

1-4 units: $3.50 each
5-10 units: $2.75 each
11-20 units: $2.25 each

Please guys, can you respond to PM / email / multiple forum threads where people are asking about the U line of products? You've been on here multiple times to comment on the S1's but have said nothing. I created and dissolved a group buy since the last time you responded about these and yet you're saying nothing. Please communicate.

I will be in the US some time from now and I'm planning to buy one more S1.

Anyone from US can clarify for me if I need to pay import taxes when ordering from US soil ?

Nope, no import taxes from China to US on "computer hardware".

how are coupons distributed? after every sale?
I got a coupon after my first antminer, used this for my second one.
Will i get a coupon from buying the second one or will this only happen when you buy without coupon?
I want to buy 2 more antminers so if that is the case, should i buy 1 now, wait for the coupon i get because of that one and then order the 2nd one?

please clarify the coupon process.

Sorry, can you PLEASE update people on the status of the U-line hardware? You never responded to PM's or emails after I went to setup a group buy, I see random and conflicting information from different areas of the forum, etc. This is poor customer service in an industry where you're one of the few respectable ASIC companies.
