Accidentally Plugged E513066 Power Cable into Fiber Port – Stuck Core, Need Help Removing It

Hi everyone,

I really need some advice because I’m panicking right now. I accidentally plugged an E513066 power cable (the core type where the plug has 2 round prongs) into a fiber optic port on my device. I pushed it in too hard, and now the core of the plug seems to be stuck deep inside the port, with only the wire visible on the outside.

I’ve tried:

• Gently pulling it out with my fingers and tweezers.
• Wigging the cable while pulling to see if it loosens.
• Using a small screwdriver to try and nudge the core out.

Nothing has worked so far, and I’m scared of damaging the fiber port further. Does anyone know a safe DIY method to remove this? I can see the wire, but the plug’s core just won’t budge no matter what I do.

If it helps, the device is fully powered off, and I’m okay with opening it up if necessary (but I don’t want to make things worse). Any suggestions or advice would mean so much.

Thanks in advance!
