Ethernet grounding adaptor kit
Hi there,
I came across your website on Dr Mercola.com.
I live in the U.K., do you know where I could get a Ethernet grounding adaptor with a UK 3 pin plug?
Thank you
Go ahead and ask us anything.

Hi Alex,
You would have to construct your own plug. You could use our adapter, and perhaps find a UK to US plug adapter that will pass the ground connection through? Otherwise you would have to wire your own plug end onto our adapter.
Would you like us to send you one of our adapters?
We don't sell UK adapters with the ground prong. So you would need to find a UK adapter that changes it to 3-prong US adapter. The effect of the adapter in Europe is different, because you have a different power distribution system. In the US we have more of a problem with high frequencies traveling through solid objects (desks, floors, chairs, people, the ground itself - dirt, etc). In Europe you don't have this problem as much. The adapter would still ground your laptop and may offer benefits, but it's very different than in the US.
If I understood clearly (this is very new to me) I could just use an usual converter from USA to EU, just like the ones I use for every USA appliance that I have in my house?
I could attach an EU plug and cut the USA one as you mentioned, but it would be more convenient with converters.
I will be using these adapters in Croatia, so I'm concerned about this.
Thank you.
