Hi folks just yesterday I was seeking for some small pre made surge protector for my mac mini and today we had some type of power fluctuation in the apartment.

What I bought several years ago is the following :

How can I hook up the mini to the line conditioner ?


THis is the line conditioner I have ( ye quite old)

I'm not sure I understand the question. This seems like a non-question. The Mac mini has standard plugs... your conditioner takes standard plugs. Plug it into your conditioner.
 
You use the cable that came with your Mini. If you don't have it anymore, or you bought it used and it didn't come with it, then you'll need to buy it again.

Here is a link to a replacement. Not sure if it's an actual OEM Apple one or not. Not sure if that matters to you or not, but you at least should know now what you're looking for.

Generic, but fullfilled by Amazon, if that's more important to you:

Then you linked the wrong surge protector, because the one you linked shows this:

Based upon your other thread, I assume you're not in the US. And I'm not certain of their plug types or whether those plug types are different from the US.
Because either your conditioner is using a different plug subset or your Mini is (for your country). The only way that is getting fixed is by buying the correct mini plug for your country. So from that standpoint you either buy an adapter or you buy a different power cable for your country.

EDIT: So yes, you're in Argentina and your Mini is using a power cable from the US.

But your photo doesn't even show that plug type. I'm not sure how to help you in this case, but the long story short is you need to buy an adapter.

Edit 2: If you take clear photos of your plug socket and the plug itself you'll be able to find out easily what adapter you need to buy. Because honestly, I can't tell if you're using a US based Mini or an Argentinian based one. And your power plugs on the surge protector don't look like the Argentinian power cables either.

Yup I am in Argentina.

Well I'll ask some local pals as of what they suggest me to get ( yup the mini is from the US )
