Lighter plug in UK Cars
Thanks to all who made a reply. I have traveled all over the world
maybe 50 plus countries and all 7 continents in all but have never taken much in the way of electronics. However this trip will be a long one and am renting a car so wanted some of MY stuff for company on the trip. Again thanks to all Richard On Thu, 05 Apr 2007 17:14:41 GMT, None wrote: Am going to UK this summer for about 2 months and will be taking Cell phone, Laptop, CD player and have lighter plugs for the above. Got to thinking they may not work in Uk cars since all the other electrical stuff is different. Also anyone know about network (RJ45) and telephone (RJ11) connection in hotel/motels, are the same as US and if not are adapter available at various electronic shops? |

I think he may be suggesting that as the question has been previously
answered, you perhaps should do a search of the archives before asking any question. Oh well, lots dont know about the archives..so question asked!! "None" wrote in message ... Well smart ass Martin the answer may still be the same but so is the question. Thank you for your help!!!!

Got to thinking they may not work in Uk cars since all the other electrical stuff is different. Only AC is different over there. Your concern should be the possibility of getting to the lighter plug physically with your adapters, etc. You might want to carry a variety of flexible (not rigid) multi-way adapters, etc. Also anyone know about network (RJ45) and telephone (RJ11) connection in hotel/motels, are the same as US and if not are adapter available at various electronic shops? CCITT standard connectors and circuits are the same everywhere. Those aren't US-only specifications. -- Larry (You sure you're a ham?

Wow...) not everyone is a clever nerd --------- i also do not know how to google a group for previous discussions WOW... Nor do I - and judging by some of the information I've seen relayed as having been found on Google, I still prefer questioning people who have actual experience of the things I ask about. |

Time for Yves B to do an update? T. |
