Can the 10' cable lead be extended longer?

You could splice another length of wire in, if you are used to small-wire connections. Warning: I bought one of these in May of 2013; put it in service in July of 2013; kept it in a building (unheated) the entire time. It worked passably well until a week ago. The temperature outside is 37 F right now, but this unit says it is 126 F! Not a battery problem. If you are going to go to the trouble of splicing wires, get a thermometer that works. I've tried several for a critical heat control issue I have with my farming. Only one has continued to work: Taylor Digital Waterproof Maximum/Minimum Thermometer, -20 to 120 Degrees F ; this is a dual-wire device, same 10' leads, and it is more-or-less accurate. The others, including the one you are asking about, fail or are seriously out of calibration (worst: General Tools AQ150 Digital Aquarium Thermometer & Thomas Traceable Waterproof Thermometer, -58 to 572 degree F - Don't waste your money!)JBK

NO, the only way to extend the metal cable would be to replace it with a new one. Bear in mind that replacing the cable covering with a new longer one will give you less working length for your wiring -most likely causing you to have to replace the wiring as well. At that point your cost of wiring and cable cover, combined with your TIME cost would IMHO negate any advantage to purchasing this unit -you may want to look into something like the Q310 or a custom built box.

Yes. If the cable is not long enough with the rope attached you can always use the extra chain for some more length.

The wire it comes with is about a foot long. You can attach more wire if needed.

They can be placed about 6 feet apart, to extend the wire you would have to cut the push in cable end off and splice in a new wire. They probably make male and female extensions for these cables at Best Buy also.

No, one lead is about 3 feet long and the other about 7 feet. Check the specs. Had new receptacles installed. Good news is the power draw is so low one can do a drop from about any existing box.

Yes. If you use power cable with a sufficient conductor core diameter I suppose you could extent the cable with at least another 10 to 20 ft.

Cable is not very long. I used a splitter and connected it to the cable in the attic since I had to put the antenna in an attic window to get good reception. So yes it can be extended.

Yes it can be installed to go any length you want it. You can wrap extra cable around tree to shorten

No. While DC current flow is impacted by the resistance of wiring length, 15' will not be a problem. I have extensions on the leads on many of my battery chargers (from the charger to the battery) with no adverse impact.

Attach to the unit there is a short piece of cable like 2' ( 70cm they said ) and with the sender even shorter piece 10cm, but they came with an extension that it's about 6' still in the short side for my application ( I have 2 land cruisers and made a bit complicated cable routing ). Altho, at that time I contact Koso NA and they said it's ok to extend the extension cable to a max of 10' using same awg caliber wire that they use in the extension .. On a Final note I have 2 of those Koso gauges and both are still working flawless ..

The unit comes with 3-4+ feet of wire. I would NOT extend it due to the fact that the connection may not be good and false readings may be given. just my 2 cents

I don't believe it would be long enough. I guess if you would attach something to extend it, it would work though.

The Humminbird manual says extension cables are available to extend the cable length up to a TOTAL of 50 feet.

No, you will need to extend the wire. I don't recall the exact length, but you'll need to add an extension.

Hi, there should be no problem to extend the lead wires. "I did". Just try to use a similar Gauge wire or a little thicker (looks like speaker wire).As mentioned, I had to extend the lead wires (one was at least 12 feet total, others were also extended) and their still working today. Hope this helps!These lamp pucks are really nice. They throw a lot of light.

Yep. Just adjust it to the length you need before inserting the tip of the cable into it's receptacle. Once it's in, you can't adjust the length with the side button.
