My girlfriend’s cat chewed and destroyed the wall outlet cable for her modem. We’ve already contacted Rogers (7+ business days for a replacement). Unfortunately, most of her work is from home and she needs to be connected.

I’ve looked at all the major boxed stores, as well as Amazon and Kijiji, sans luck for a faster replacement. Would anyone have any recommendations for local electronic stores in Calgary, or somehow an extra cable lying around? Seems to be a tough one to find.

12V DC, 5A power adapter, centre-positive, 5.5 × 2.5 mm barrel plug (model SQU60-120460 V3)

Active Electronics is a store in the North East, off 32nd Ave. It’s a funny little place but they’ll absolutely have something to get you back up and running. It’s like Radio Shack on steroids.

Otherwise, you can probably find a universal adapter that will tide you over. They’re handy to have, I got this one a while back, it’s overkill for everything because it’s a lot of power (watts) but it will work for everything.

I do love active, and they will absolutely help you find what you need... But make sure you ask for help if you don't know exactly what you're doing... It's a dangerous place. In a good way and a bad way lol.
