>Yes, cutting the end off that and splicing two pairs of wires with barrel jacks on them will work, so will making a little box with a socket in one end and two cables coming out of it so you can easily swap out the brick if you break it. Ideally, your wires should be two cores inside circular insulation that's the right diameter to fit well inside the solderable barrel jacks' housings. If not, heat-shrink covers a multitude of sins. You'll want to shrink-wrap any solder connection, so ensure you remember to put it on before soldering the joint.
Thanks so much anon! After much searching of chinese sites, I came across this: barrel jack to USB. Now, USB is rated for 5V but do you think these cables could handle 12V@2A? I'd then have to make a small distribution box with a female barrel jack and two female USB terminals...
