Be careful of the "appropriately sized barrel". You may end up with a connector that seems to work but it does not make good contact because the inner diameter of the barrel may be larger than it should be. To avoid losing power for the wireless bridge during competition, I would just cut the wire and use the original connector because I know for sure that's the correct sized connector.
