Wanted to see if I could leverage these switch PSUs. Anybody knows perhaps connector type to get a converter? Thanks in advance

Convert to what to use for what?

 

To charge a car battery?

Convert to standard connections , is what I think he is saying.

LOL!  It doesn't have +5V and doesn't even have a standby rail.

Very limited answer if you would like to know more in depth. This was a long shot because of custom arch.

@jonnyGURUthis is what I was kinda hoping:

Right.  But the card edge connector on a server PSU is standardized.  Cisco's switch PSU is not following any standard.

 

Do you own a multimeter?  If that Cisco PSU doesn't have a "power good signal" requirement and is "always on", you could just probe the terminals to see which ones are +12V and which ones are +3.3V and which are grounds then just solder 16g wire to each connector.

 

Alternately, you can just open it up and see if the traces leading up to that connector provide any clues.  Maybe even desolder the connector and then solder on your own.

Jonny, I appreciate the input, once I find little time I'll try to open that sucker to find out more. Thanks.
