Can't identify connector type

    I want to purchase a right-angled extension for the power cable for my TV box (see photo) but I'm struggling to find it.

    What is the correct name for this connector?

    What are the key measurements I need to look for when ordering (I assume there are different types/sizes)?

    It's a DC connector.

    Length, outer diameter and inner diameter.

    Also if it as a pin.

    need to make sure to check the amperage and wattage also.

    Lower amp than you need = won’t work

    Higher amp than you need is fine. It will only use what it needs. Usually there is a sticker on the plug itself that should give you the info.

    I was only looking for right-angled connectors, not the whole power cable.

    I bought 2 from Amazon and both were wrong size.

    As an aside, can I get coax cables made to a desired length and with required fittings?
