I think at this point it's going DC for simplicity and safety. There's an N on the left and ????? on the right: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1v6gs8801i9sbvx/2014-11-10%2014.08.58.jpg?dl=0
The surge suppressor on it is DSX-D-MA: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5vlf0hmma4zdl9x/2014-11-10%2014.08.34.jpg?dl=0 The name of it is similar, though not exact. The specs also call it a din connector like TJ said. http://www.streakwave.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=DSXL-D-MA Is that what this is, "DIN connector"?
