Cradlepoint 170665-000 Barrel to 4-Pin Power Adapter for COR Series, 152 mm

Router refreshes have a recurring annoyance: the new hardware arrives with a different power connector than the supply already wired into the cabinet. The Cradlepoint 170665-000 exists for exactly that moment. It is a compact 152 mm (about 6 in) adapter with a female barrel connector on one end and a 4-pin DIN male (the small 2x2 format) on the other, letting barrel-plug power sources feed COR series routers such as the IBR1700 and IBR900. The practical wins are migration speed and inventory flexibility. Sites upgrading from older barrel-input Cradlepoint hardware can keep the installed, cable-managed power supply and simply adapt its output to the new router — no rewiring, no second supply, no waiting on accessories. Service teams gain the reverse benefit: one barrel-output bench supply plus this adapter powers 2x2-input units during staging and diagnostics. At 152 mm the adapter adds negligible clutter, tucking behind the router rather than coiling in the cabinet. It is a passive connector adapter: voltage and current still come from the supply, so match the source to the router's power specification (the supported COR routers are 12 V DC-class devices) before connecting.
