AntMiner Jumper Switch- Bitcoin Miner Accessory

Global Sales start on July 31, will close on August  6th. Shipping starts on August 27th.

PC Power Supply has been widely used to power Bitcoin Miners, but users have to use the paper clip or other metal line to short blue line and black line of the PSU 24 pin interface before powering Bitcoin Miners. It is troublesome thing to short lines, and may lead to unstable power supply.

Here we are glad to introduce a new Bitcoin Miner Accessory - AntMiner Jumper Switch, which is to provide a convenient and effective method to start PSU. Only need to connect it to the PSU 24 pin interface, then press the “Switch”.

Only Available at http://www.bitmaintech.com
I guess I don't understand why there are leads to every pin on the connector, rather than just the ones needed to turn on the PSU.  Is it safe to assume those leads would be live, and have current running through them?  I'm no EE, I'm just curious if these are 'safe' enough to use in a household with animals or children.

no that could shock as the entire 5v amp's are available.  I would not use that product without the pins covered.

I use these

added advantage the on off switch  has long length for placement.

5v at these amperage will not cause shock. You could lay your finger over the entire set of pins without a single problem.
But could I lick them?  ;-)  Thanks for the info, I'll think about ordering a million of them.  I presume minersource will be stocking them as well?
Wow! I guess I should be dead now since I licked both of my hands and grabbed the + and - terminals of my 875 Amp 12v car battery, oh wait its DC just like the PSU pins.  Kiss
