I have an Arris SB6121, but I do not have the connector power cord. I cannot find one that fits and I don't want to take the chance to order it online because first I want to make sure I'm getting the right one. Any ideas? I tried looking at thrift stores, but found that the plug is smaller than the regular AC adapters. I checked BestBuy but they don't sell them.
Either next to the plug on your device, or in the manual, you will find the voltage required (for example, 7.5VDC). Get an adapter that outputs that voltage and connects to your device's input, and you're done.
I found a plug that seems to work, it was attached to another device (a photo printer). At a thrift store. I bought the photo printer, too, it was cheap enough. I'll give the photo printer to Goodwill, maybe someone will want it. And I'll keep the plug in. Which I hope works, although the light did go on with the surfboard when I attached it. I couldn't buy just the plug, I had to take the photo printer, too.
They make plug adapters however the transformer should meet the requirements of the device. A matching plug doesn't determine that.

The voltage should be the same but equally important is the amps. The amps listed on the device is what it requires, the amps listed on the transformer is what it can deliver. What is listed on the transformer should be as high or higher than what is listed on the device.
If the amperage is not enough it could ruin the device or the transformer. Worse case is the transformer melts, catches fire and burns your house down.

Not quite done, you also have to get one that meets the minimum amperage requirement, it can be higher but not lower.
