"Coax"? That's not at all what that means. 🤌🏾
If you use an adapter at each end, each one with additional power requirements, how much extra power are we using for the sake of convenience?
I've used these and was pretty happy with them, but I've always wondered about this.
They are usually about 5W, so not much.
Coax as in to gently persuade. I'd say 25% hike is more like coercion though, maybe that's the point you're making here?
Thank you for being one of the few (apparently) capable of comprehensive reading, yes. "Coax" here is dishonest at best.
