Not Good
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
I bought this MFJ 1116 DC distribution panel to clean up my power supply connections during a power supply change-out.
1 The DC connectors on the power cable were too small. I had to cut them off and install larger terminals to fit my power supply.
2 The plastic nuts for the 8 pairs of bannana jacks will not screw off completely. I had to cut slots in my "ring" terminals to get them under the connectors.
3 After I cut my "ring" terminals, tightened down the plastic nuts, I had no power to my devices. The contact surface area on the jacks are too small to contact my larger terminal ends. I ended up cutting off my terminals, strip the wire and place the ends in the jacks holes. Not a clean way to make a connection.
4 The "meter" was way off compared to my power supply meter and my Fluke VOM.
I would not buy this device again had I known its shortcomings.

A good power strip
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
I have been using the MFJ 1116 power strip for about a month now. I found it very easy to use as the banana jacks are quick and easy to wire up. I have been using a 12 volt marine battery to power my accessories such as an amplified BCB loop, Phasing unit, VLF converter and my ICOM ICR-70 receiver. All of them are being run from the battery to help cut down line noise I experience.
All in all I am quite pleased with the unit
