Hi the ribbon cable on the pi camera is 6 inches long connected to the camera there combined length is 6.5 inches. I known of no extension cable.

My camera is mounted on a bracket attached to the top of the case I have my Raspberry Pi in, so it'd be a pain to take it off to lay it out for measure. I'd estimate that it is between 6.5 and 7.5 inches long. Adafruit Industries sells 4 or 5 different lengths of the same type of cable. If Amazon doesn't strip out the URL below, go here: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1648 for the Adafruit store page for the 12 inch cable and scroll down to the bottom of the page for links to the other lengths. The longest is 24 inches. I've seen Adafruit products on Amazon, so you may find these cables available through Amazon as well. NOTE: These REPLACE the original cable, they do NOT extend the original, nor can they be daisy-chained. If you really need to use a camera more than 24 inches away from the Raspberry Pi, I'd recommend that you use a USB "webcam" but check the Raspberry Pi compatibility website before buying one. Also, I don't know if there's a USB webcam that has the Full Hi-Def capability of the Raspberry Pi camera and if there are such available, I wouldn't know if they would be compatible with the Raspberry Pi.

I think they are about 4 foot long. And yes you can extend the wires. Mine has about 12 foot of wire.

There are two longer cables, I think 15ft, and 3 shorts that are about 10ft. Cables are attached to speakers. But it's fairly easy & cheap to buy cables to extend them. That's what I did & they sound great. Worth the money if you know how to tweak the setup

Battery cables are 5' in length. Yes they can be extended - ProMariner sells extension cables in 5' and 15' length.

looks to be about 6 feet and it's USB, so you could buy a USB extension cord.

Nope, you could try eBay but chances of just the extension cable being on there are slim.

Hello. I didnt add the extension but the cable is 2 to 3m. To make it longer , u need coaxial jointer and extra cable to extend it.

The cable is somewhere around six or seven ft. You can cut it and make it longer as I did by splicing and adding speaker wire to it. Not a problem. Hope it helps.

I don't know, but I would highly recommend writing to the seller (FJA Products). They were very helpful. Not only could they tell me what ribbon I needed, but they also explained how to install it.

I wish Amazon had a way of putting FAQs such as this at the top of the list. Approximately 16 feet. An extension cable may be available if this is not long enough. See similar questions for more details.

Yes, it is slightly different than the OEM and you will need to request an extension for the ribbon cable for it to install properly.

I actually measured the cable. (Is it really possible that the company is sending out different length cables?) The length of the cable itself is exactly 15" (plus the two connector ends). This is NOT an 18" cable as the term is generally applied to extension cords or cables. I returned it and ordered a longer cable.

About 8 feet. Which, depending on the stage size can be kind of annoyingly small. I know they do make extender cables, you can buy, but I'm not sure where or how much they are.

The cable's length is 16 centimetres (excluding the pluggers) and it is also flexible ribbon-cable so you can easily place your device with it.

4 - 5 feet in length. Unit can be as far away as the cables allow. I'm sure you could get longer cables if you wish.

The cord is 1 meter, about 3.3 feet. You can get extension cords at Radio Shack.

All the Trivision cameras I received have a 9 foot (I suppose technically 3 meter) power cords. It shouldn't be difficult to splice on an extension if you needed longer.
