Cable Extension Cord Splitter for ATMs. (Used to power modems, digital toppers and more)

Description

Condition: New
Configuration: 1x Male to 2x Female (Y-Splitter)
Length: 6 Inches

Technical Overview

This 6-inch “Y-style” power splitter is a specialized cable management solution designed for the internal power distribution environment of Automated Teller Machines. It functions as a port replicator, converting a single available AC outlet on the ATM’s internal power supply unit (PSU) or surge suppressor into two usable power sources.

In the field, ATM cabinets—particularly the upper enclosure or “top hat”—have limited spatial volume and a restricted number of power outlets. This component bridges the gap between the ATM’s native power allocation and the demands of modern aftermarket peripherals.

Operational Utility

The integration of auxiliary devices is now standard in ATM deployment. This splitter is essential for powering:

• Wireless Communication Modems: (e.g., DPL, OptConnect, Hercules) which are mandatory for non-hardwired connectivity.
• Digital Toppers: Video screens mounted on the ATM fascia.
• Media Players: Android or PC-based signage players used for ad-serving.

Without this splitter, technicians are often forced to run long external extension cords from wall outlets to the machine, creating trip hazards and potential compliance violations. This unit contains all high-voltage cabling within the secure cabinet of the ATM.

Technical Specifications & Build

Connector Type: Standard 3-prong AC grounding connectors (Male input to Dual Female output).

• Wire Gauge: Industrial standard gauge suited for handling the amperage of the ATM’s auxiliary bus alongside low-draw peripherals like modems and LED toppers.
• Jacket: Heavy-duty insulation designed to resist abrasion against internal metal chassis components and brackets.
• Length: At 6 inches, the “short-throw” design is intentional. It prevents the accumulation of excess “service loop” wire that can block airflow to the power supply or interfere with the closing of the upper fascia.

Installation and Maintenance

• Cable Management: This splitter aids in “dressing” the cables. By splitting the power at the source, it reduces the need for multiple long cables running through the cabinet pass-throughs.
• Clearance: The flexible design allows bulky transformer bricks (wall warts)—common with modems and toppers—to be connected without blocking adjacent outlets on the main power strip.
• Safety: Always power down the ATM’s main breaker before installing internal power cabling. Ensure the total amperage draw of the connected devices does not exceed the rating of the ATM’s internal fuse or breaker.

Compatibility

Universal Fitment: This part is compatible with any ATM model utilizing standard AC power outlets within the cabinet, including but not limited to:

• Hyosung (Halo, 2700, Force, 1800 series)
• Genmega (G2500, GT3000, Onyx)
• Triton (Traverse, Argo, RL series)
• Hantle (1700W, C4000)

Note: This item is a power transmission cable only. The power supply unit, modem, and other peripherals are sold separately.
