Here's what Section 3.2.6 Troubleshooting and FAQ of the 2009 FRC Control System Manual has to say about that:
How do I build a cable for passing 12V power to the WiFi adapter?- Take the module's power adapter and cut the wire off close to the Wall-Wart.
- Separate the wires and strip 7mm off the ends.
- To insert wire into a WAGO 734-102 connector, push down on the actuation port in back. Alternatively, use the plastic actuation lever.
- Insert the positive (striped) wire in the right port of the WAGO 734-102 connector.
- Insert the negative wire in the left port of the WAGO 734-102 connector.
- Give a smart tug to verify the connection is secure.
- Insert the WAGO 734-102 into the mating connector on the PD.
- Power the PD, and verify that the barrel connector's centor conductor is positive.
