Well constructed. Excellent value for its price point!

I'd been having trouble with my Internet service. I had pretty much tracked it down to some kind of intermittent issue with my wireless wifi or broadband modem. I came across a couple of interesting discussions that suggest that the wireless was originally equipped with a power supply which the bare minimum amperage required.So, as the theory went, as the power supply aged, it's actual output varied from it original specs and this 'fact' (I wasn't there and I'm not an EE) apparently could cause the type of connection issues I was seeing. I didn't know if the 'theory was correct, but I was out of ideas and on the verge of replacing the wireless and the modem, so I thought I'd take the chance. The folks in the forum were recommending a 12V 5A replacement supply.When others pointed out that this was overkill (original supply was rated at 800 mA), the folks doing the recommending pointed out that the price difference between the two supplies was not a huge factor, and it was better to get a quality supply so you would have no doubt. In my case I intend to put a splitter on the supply output and run 1 side to my wireless, the other side to my broadband modem - so 'overkill' was even less of an issue for me.When the Chanzon 12V 5A 60W AC DC Power Supply arrived, it spoke quality from the start. It was very well packaged and had a weight that was size-appropriate. It even came with an extra DC terminal end in case your needs were a bit different. There is a blue LED on the front to indicate the unit is receiving AC. I should qualify this assessment though as I made no measurements to gauge voltage stability or output amperage. As I've only recent purchased this unit, I can make no statements with respect to long-term durability or MTBF. The DC side cord is 4 ft long and the AC side cord is 5 ft long and is detachable.Best of all, all of my intermittent connection issues have now gone away -- uh, at least for the time being. (If this ever changes, I'll update this review. ) All things considered, I am very happy with the Chanzon 12V 5A 60W AC DC Power Supply and would definitely buy another or recommend it to anyone looking for a quality supply with these specs.

Pros
  • Helps to save energy and reduce electricity bills
Cons
  • Bulky and difficult to conceal
