What is the maximum cable length that this can test? I am testing on 120 foot cables and get no lights. It is fine on short patch cables.

I have tested cables up to 500 feet in length with no problems. Make sure your battery is properly seated. Also, I recommend removing the battery between uses to avoid accidentally turning on the unit and running down your battery

So far I have tested several lengths up to and including 100 feet and it worked fine. The standard CAT5E length for Ethernet of 100 meters is slightly more than 300 feet. If the user wants to wait until Monday for an answer, I think I have a spool longer than that on which I can install ends and test. Meanwhile, I would suggest using a stronger new 9-volt dry cell.

I have tested two 50 foot cables separately and the results were positive. One of the cable was good and the other one was bad. I also extended the 50 by joining another 20 and successfully tested 70 foot. I can't technically comment for 120 but, check the batteries.

that length would be pushing it. as the light gets near its end it does get dimmer, so brighter near the light dimmer farther away. as far as light put out unsure, nothing on the instructions from the mfr. I have a yard 120 feet long, along that lenght I use 3 lights to see my dogs at night if that helps

Possibly it's from the cable, same as pretty much every strand of Christmas lights out there. Wash your hands after installing, and shouldn't have a problem.

Trust the specs: "Cable is 51.1-Inch from USB to lights, then the lights are 55.1-Inch." Without having actually Measured it, those lengths must be pretty close: We trimmed several inches off of the LED strip (cutting points are marked on the strip) to make it fit Horizontally across the rear of our 60" plasma. That length is a lot closer to 50" than it is to 40.

Hi Cyndi, I don't feel those are made to interconnect, as x-mas light would (there's no connection on the last light and the first is connected to a 6' power cable). I use mine under an awning with a 8' span but feel that I could extend it to 15', max. All in all, doesn't sound as a good choice for you.

I already answered, but I should have added that this device alone could not extend the signal with a 50' cable. I had to use the other extended that is mentioned specifically for the Tripp Lite 50' (15 meter) cable. But I didn't have this device at the END of the 50' cable, but connected to the computer DVI port via a 3' cable. Then I had one 25' cable, w/o any additional device, connected to one screen, and the other output went to another screen through (in this order): this device - 50' cable - Signal Extender - 3' cable - monitor. MAYBE this device would work if connected w/ the 50' cable between it and the computer. (I didn't think of that then.)

The simple answer is that it depends on the length. The longer the run, the larger wire should be used. If it is a few feet, there will likely be no discernible difference. It it is 100' probably the reading would be lower due to the voltage drop.

The cables are 65'. They are junk though. All didn't work but one. It eventually went out. I'd get a better gauge.

I don't know, but it works fine in my 100' signal application. I'm not drawing power over Ethernet.

My cable is only 20 feet long. Sorry, I can't help you on a 100 ft. It seems like a good cable..

Add up wattage make sure your no over 60watt. You can only go 16.5 ft max. I had this problem 1 time I changed trams. And fixed problem

Try connecting it with a different cable to see if the 100' cable is bad. Try different ports if you have a multiport POE injector. While I'm no expert, I would also recommend using solid copper CAT6 cable for a run that long. I have this camera on a long run of solid CAT6 and it works perfect.

They make a 15 foot cable if you don't want to hook a bunch if cables together. I purchesed these cable to do multiple things. They com with 4 pin connectors so you don't have to buy them separate. I ran a distance of 17 foot and had no problems with the performance of the lights by connecting cables together to get the distance I needed...hope this helps.

I bought one and hooked it up to 14' of led lighting. It worked good till I sent it to the controller to the bottom of the lake. Try rechecking the connector for the lights. I hooked it up backwards the first time that I wired it and it was a no go till I changed it.

I am not sure about a maximum cable length. I would keep your cable runs as short as possible and make sure your connections are tight. The kit comes with 20 foot 30 foot and a 50 foot lengths of cable and I do believe it is standard RG6 coax which carries a signal a long way.

Unfortunately our 100 foot strings do not connect with each other. At 100 lights at 7 watts a piece, that 700 watts just on that string. For safety concerns we keep it at a 100 foot max. If you have any more questions just let us know. Thanks

I have mine about 50 ft or so and the picture is good. There is probably 2 pixels our so that flash. I used cat5e cable and i re-terminated and the picture was better. once and a while on certain colors a pixel will flash, but for the price its a good product. I'd try to keep out under 75 with cat5e. If you use cat6 you probably have a better picture and you can probably run it the full distance. I hope this helps.
