I bought an external modem. It came with a European transformer to plug into outlet. There are some real odd round plugs on it. It reads INPUT: 230V ~50HZ 140MA OUTPUT: 12V 1A
It came with an adaptor to plug into a standard US outlet, which has
120V ~60HZ.How can it put out 12V on the output side when the Input voltage is nearly half what it's designed for? Also, what effect does the 50 versus 60 HZ have?
It does work, but the front panel lights seem sort of dim (in my opinion).
Thanks
