Team of subject matter experts, My designers are looking at a 5V 10A DC external power supply (AC adapter brick style) that powers a consumer electronic product. The DC cable is 35" long. Product is targeted for the NA and Europe markets. 1. What size/gauge and type of wire would you recommend for the DC cable? 2. Other than IEC & UL 60950 for product safety, are there any other safety features that you would recommend? 3. Are there any standards for the power connection to the consumer electronic?
