Sorry I don’t.

I had to buy one several months ago and it was $30 + shipping. I understand that things are more expensive now due to tariff, supply chain, inflation, etc but $30 for a CABLE?
This is one of many reasons why new hobbyists turn away from reefing. Don’t get me started on power supplies.

As for power supplies i buy replacements on amz. As along as the voltage and current ratings are the same there should be no problem.

Did you already use up all the ports on your EB832?
Thanks for the digikey link - I should have gone that route!
I've fried my XR30 G6 Blue's PS 2 months ago (water accident) -- $263 for a power supply????

I've looked at amzn replacements but they were "desktop" ones, don't have ground. Would I risk it on a $1,000+ light (different topic). Anyway, I ended buying a used oem-PS for $90.
Don't want to hijack the OP's thread on 1link. I'll stop. I'm leaning away from Ecotech gear in the future...
that is ridiculous!! again, for future reference:

umm so you're saying all 3 1link ports are not working on your EB832? Do you know if the other two 24v accessory ports are working? If they're all out then you might have a bad PS inside the EB832. If that's the case I would replace it VS spending the money on a 1-link module. Keep in mind even if you do get a 1-link module you still need the power supply brick to run the COR pump.
how do i we place the ps inside?
I meant replace the whole eb832 if its bad. Is the eb832 working fine otherwise? Im pretty sure if the 24v ps is bad the eb832 wouldnt power up. Are the main outlets working? I would 1st check to see if youre getting power to the 24v ports then double check the 1link ports with known good working devices. When you plug the cor pump into the eb832 does it show up as a new tile? If the ports are working i would check to see if the pump is good by testing it on a friends eb832 or 1link module. Finally if all else fails schedule a service call with Neptune.
1st you need to determine if your eb832 is bad or your cor pump is bad...or both. You can't fix it if you dont know whats broken. Like i noted above, if your eb832 is powering up then its likely not the 24v ps.
This is true. You have to troubleshoot what is bad first.
Btw, the EB832 if full of cheap components, which why when my apex system goes down, it will be my last. I'm happy with my Hydros system, it's not perfect, but it works. I still have EB8's that are running strong, but one of my 832's had the "bad" ps issue. I simply unplugged the unit to change something and when I plugged it back in, it stopped working.
