Re: X-10 friendly switchmode PS



It would help if you knew up front what switching frequency they used.  In
the past, I've gone through 3 computer PS until I found one that didn't
affect X-10.  The higher the switching frequency, the smaller the internal
magnetic components (inductors, and transformers).  Due to the small size of
these wall-warts, I think you might find they are OK below 150 kHz.  I've
been using many of these types around the house for routers, cell phones,
etc not to mention the larger laptop supplies and have no problems at all
with X10 / Insteon.
