I have just received the new Ultra Hub, with 6E booster and the DC power cables are a little small for placement. For other routers in the past I have bought a standard DC Extension Cable DC Male/Female 2.5mm however that seems a little large. Does anyone know of the correct jacks to use ?

@dennispad Depending on the distance needed you will risk voltage drop due to resistance inherent in the cable. It's usually better to extend the 240Vac mains instead.
Let me just look that up for you 😀

I agree, This is for the booster rather than main router so should be ok. I need the cable to be thin otherwise it will get into peoples way. The link mentions the THG3000 rather than DGM498VDF. I have tried a 2,5mm and it's to big but not sure what will fit.

@dennispad Are you in Germany by any chance, this router is not used here in the UK? If so try https://forum.vodafone.de/ instead.
