The description says it supports 25 meter cable, but won't work with my 8 meter cable. Do I need a power adapter to make it work at this length?

I've used the power adapter from the get-go (most HDMI switchers work like crap w/o a dedicated power supply) and have various HDMI cable lengths (from 2 meters to 5 meters) and brands attached. I haven't experienced a problem. So I suggest you get the adapter.

Sorry Rob, after buying the cable I had other issues and could not use it. Good luck!

I'm not an expert, but if you try/test it with a shorter cable and it works fine, I would say the run is too long. Hope that helps

What is the maximum length for an ethernet cable to be connected to this switch? If I have 25ft cables connected should that make a difference? What about 50ft? That is my situation and I am concerned that this switch might not provide enough power over such long distances. If those are too far, can anyone recommend a different (possibly higher-powered) switch?

It is not a standard cable. I bought it for the same purpose and did not work.

I don't understand your question. Pretty sure this item is too big for iPhone power. You would probably want a 1/8 inch adapter instead. Good luck!

The item is 8.25 inches long. It connects to the HDMI cable I had in place. Works like a charm for me. Does that help?

I never got these to work on anything over 25 feet, you may want to try a signal booster, some cables (HDMI) come with one built in.

Thanks Justin, I appreciate the feedback.Do you know if the cables are proprietary, meaning that you cannot use a longer cable?

The power cable for the camera is pretty long, I have my camera mounted right where the ceiling and wall meet and the power cable that came with my camera reaches all the way to the outlet with room to spare...if I had to guess, my cable is at least 8 feet long, 10 feet max?...should be no problem unless you have really tall ceilings and want to mount it really high so no one can touch it. If that's not long enough just use an extension cord, I tested the camera to see if it would still work with an extension cord and it worked fine for me.

The previous answer you received is correct. You need an 8mm adaptor......http://www.goalzero.com/p/261/mc4-solar-to-8mm-adapter-cable/

Amazon Prime Guy has it right. I don't think an adapter would work in this case. If you could find one that is 30 pin to lightening I think the extra height of the connection with a device on top of it would be too unstable. The brace the device leans against is too short for that.

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

this will not work, you need a powered converter, they sell them on here for like $30. i needed to do the same thing, got this, it didnt work, got a powered converter and it did. it will not convert the signal on its own, needs power!

On the adapter block itself, it says 0.35 amps. I have no idea what the cable itself is rated for, but clearly it's meant to work with power knocked down by the adapter from 120V-240V, 20A power down to a USB level. It's a lot of very thin wires. I wouldn't want to run 2.1 amps through it.

I believe the technician mistook FEET for METER. According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers which created the specification Sony adheres to it is 100 meters in the main run, called "horizontal" in some cases, using Category 6 cabling with solid core. Your patch cable, made with stranded cable gives you 10 meters between the device and wall jack. Your stranded cable has higher attenuation than solid cable, if you go over 10 meters on the stranded, reduce the solid accordingly. Just buy some good cabling - cat5, or 6, your choice, for a 10 foot run. Look up Panduit, or Belkin. Cheers. I believe the technician mistook FEET for METER.

Its usually about 8cm try lining the screws or take the plastic straps that hold the cable in place and it will give you a couple of more cm
