Stepped on a two-pin plug! One pin went right through but at an angle.?
Was getting something from a shelf up and while I kept my foot on the floor I stepped on a two-pin plug. One pin went right through but no blood immediately. It was in the morning so I had to rush to the washroom. Finished my business and stepped out ..seconds later felt dizzy.. sweaty and lost balance almost partially fainted! Sister noticed there wasnt much bleeding yet.. but I was feeling so weak.. shivering, sweating and just want to lie down.. but my sister told me to stay up-right had me drink up some sugar-water.. but still had this sluggish feeling (kept moaning too).. after few second I threw up a bit and the feeling calmed down. Its night now and I've noticed the wound has dried. I feel pain when I walk (much like I'm limping) . I'm just wondering why I had that feeling.. I wasnt scared, I dint see blood, the cut was'nt very deep but that feeling was shook my senses. Oh also the tip of the plug was metal (maybe around 2mm) rest which went in was plastic. Mom suggested a tetanus injection.Is this thaat serious? Anyone has any answers? Thank you in advance!
How to put a two-pin plug into a three-pin socket without an adapter?
Is it a two pin plug where the pins are parallel (US style) or at 90 degrees to each other (Aussie style, and elsewhere I guess) Solution 1 - get the correct power cable and plug it into the Wii instead. Solution 2 - you can bend (as in rotate) the pins around so that they come round enough to be at the correct angle. The second way requires care, in that you bend as close to the plug backing as possible without stressing it or the metal pins too much that they split or break. It is best to have the twist as close to the backing as you can so that the big majority of the pins go into the power socket to reach the connecting plates, and yet not have so much pin exposed as to be an easy electrical hazard. I would strongly suggest getting the correct power lead or the adapter.
Waht is mean by structured cabling?
(m) Structured Cabling is a set of standards that determine how to wire a data center, office or building for data or voice communications, using Category 5 or Category 6 cable and RJ45 sockets. These standards define how to lay the cabling in a star formation, such that all outlets terminate at a central patch panel (which is normally 19 inch rack-mounted), from where it can be determined exactly how these connections will be used. Each outlet can be 'patched' into a data network switch (normally also rack mounted alongside), or patched into a 'telecoms patch panel' which forms a bridge into a private branch exchange (PABX) telephone system, thus making the connection a voice port. Lines patched as data ports into a network switch require simple straight-through patch cables at the other end to connect a computer, whereas voice patches to PABXs require an adaptor at the remote end to translate the RJ45 pin config into a 6-pin BT socket. Depending on the type of PABX, these may need to be 'master' or 'secondary' adaptors. It is normal to see different colour patch cables used in the patch panel to help identify which type of connection is being carried, though the structured cabling standards do not require this, except in the demarcation wall field The standards demand that all eight connectors in the Cat6 cable are connected, resisting the tempation to 'double-up' or use one cable for both voice and data. This is generally a good thing as it means that they fully support features such as Power over Ethernet which require the so-far unused brown cables.
