X1 Power Supply Voltage

[JeremyMTB]

Does anyone know the voltage passed from the power supply to the main unit on the X1 and is that voltage consistent across the 10 conductors?

Good question. I would GUESS that there are multiple voltages, such as +/- 5v, 10v, etc. Also, what are the 10 conductors?

Pin 1, 3, 7 are +12V.
Pin 5, 9 are -12V.
The rest are GND.

Note that pin 1, 2 are rated for 1.5A, in case you want to DIY your own cable, but there is risk involved.

In case you want to use the X1 power supply to drive other things, please don't.

Peter-

This is for a "upgraded" and shortened cable. I don't plan on powering anything else. Is there a risk outside of me just messing it up?

A few years ago we received a sample of an aftermarket cable for Lumin power supply (I don't even know what brand it was), but the cable itself overheated - my guess is using too low AWG, and the contact was poor, not sure why.
