What is this baby monitor charging port?
Anyone know what this monitor charging port is? Was hoping to buy another charger because the monitor battery life is poor. Tried a 3ds charger because it looked similar but it didn't fit.
Its this monitor https://amzn.eu/d/gjmcrPL. Have looked through the manual and didn't see a name other than "charger port"

Missing Vanity Power Component
Good Afternoon All,
My wife ordered a vanity from Amazon: https://a.co/d/iQrE4Py
Upon assembling this unit, it appears that the last component for installation is missing - some sort of power adapter that is supposed to connect to the components attached.
The manufacturer & Amazon have been super unhelpful.
Is there some sort of piece that i can buy to have this hooked up and connected to the outlet?!
Thanks in advance!

What is this power cable? Does anyone know how to identify it’s output? It says 300V on the cable but I doubt this tiny thin cable with a USB-A input is capable of that. Is this safe to use with a device that requires a 5V output?

Does anyone know where I can find a 5 or 6ft version of this cord?
It's for some T5 led lights. The largest I've been able to find is 4ft, but that's the size I currently have. I believe it's a C7PW to C8 cord
