The product, in the report: SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter Model: CB-ISATAU2, manufactured by Vantec (http://www.vantecusa.com/en/product/view_detail/266). It is used to connect a hard drive to a computer using USB adapters. It has several different components, including the adapter itself (shown in the box picture on the website), a Power Supply (Model # SPP26-12.0/5.0-1500), and the Power Cable (Brand name: Apollo, Model #: E-65849 ABU-033) which connects the Power Supply to an outlet, which is the part that exploded, shocked, and burned me. Dimensions: 70 x 43 x 10 mm Cable Length: 92cm (36in) Made in China
I was attempting to install a brand new SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter Model: CB-ISATAU2 manufactured by Vantec (http://vantecusa.com/). I followed the instructions on the disc that was enclosed and plugged the power cord (E-65849 ABU-033) into my surge protector and the other end into the power adapter. As soon as this happened, the power cord exploded, shocking me, burning my hand, starting a small fire which left a scorch mark on the wall, and filling the room with smoke, which I inhaled.
