Xenarc connector issue

**Blipman** · 08-21-2006, 03:58 AM

I've run into a hitch installing my 8" Xenarc touch screen, the cable that plugs into the back is too large and won't fit with the monitor installed (I've modified the front face slightly to fit and am not using the back cover). Is there an right angle elbow that can be purchased so that the cable comes out the back rather than out the side?

Here is the connector I'm talking about. Is it some sort of generic connector or specific only to a Xenarc?

Thanks for that info, in the end I cut up the plastic connector so the cable comes out of the 'side' of the connector rather than the 'back' of it like normal, it gave me the few cm I needed.

Prior to finding that I asked a guy at xenarc tech support for some info. He just recently replied, " its a special connector custom made only for Xenarc".
W*NKER!

INFO: From the PDF above "connector made by 3M, sold by RS UK (http://rswww.com) part number 176-1970"
