"Pretty long" doesn't help at all. How long, EXACTLY, is the wire between the power pack &amp; the extension mat? I have an L shaped counter, need LONG!

about 6'. think the extention would work well for you and longer than you need for the counter shape..I found that a battery charger works better than the 9 volt batters

I've just measured mine... it's 9'10" long... unfortunately, there's something wrong with the wire (and no, it wasn't the 250V 2AL fuse that came with it) as I've tested it separately. Either that or it's the connector (where you connect to the radar detector, or in my case my Cobra Dashcam).

it is very short. when I installed the outlet I plugged in the unit to make sure the mounting bracket is close enough. also make sure the plug is oriented in the right way to accept the cable end of the unit, there is not enough cord to turn it over. BGW

I have mine plugged in with 3 prong extension cord. I measured and it is just a bit over 3 1/2 feet. It is well worth getting even if to need short extension cord.

My power cord is 48 inches long, out to the power supply. Is shorter then i desired, so put 6 ft extention on it with silicone sealer between them to make it safe from spills.

The item shipped to me has a usb cable about 18 inches long. I would think an extender cable would work. Since the only purpose for the usb cable is to power the unit, there should only be two conductors inside it, but the insulation sheath hides that. The usb connector is nice in that it provides a female usb outlet so you don't lose a usb port when you plug in the monitor. If you're handy soldering you could almost certainly cut the cable and splice in any reasonable length of additional 2 conductor cable (just make sure you maintain the polarity).

Not particularly long, 3 feet or so. The problem lies less in the wire but in the chain. Simple fixes for both however: hardware stores have similar electrical wire and chain that can be substituted with greater ease than putting the thing together.

Not very long. I have to use an extension cord. I have no clue why they don't put a longer one on it. I am not at home right now so I cannot go measure it but, if I remember correctly I would say about two feet. If you want to wait I am going home the 17th and will be happy to give you an exact measurement.

I have a similar configuration and ended up having to buy an extension cable. A friend of mine did a build similar to mine and claimed the cable was long enough. I wanted to have some slack and extra length for better routing around the motherboard so as not to interfere with airflow for cooling.

It's only about 18 inches long. Almost useless unless it's right next to an outlet.

I have it plugged in behind my desk so to measure it accurately is difficult but I could reliably say over 4' long.

Not terribly long - maybe 5 feetish. I have pretty much always had to use an extension cord or plan my set up around an outlet.

Not to long. Maybe 2-3 feet (I don't have the unit nearby right now). I use an extension cord to connect to an outlet.

I just measured the cord, it is five feet long. The power connector is fairly flat, it sticks out less than one inch off the wall once plugged in and the cord comes out at an angle. I have had the unit for five months and am very happy with it.

I plugged 2 large mats and 1 step mat into one outlet using extension cords. Although they said not to use extension cords, the mats come with extremely short little cords and you really don't have a choice. I plugged one into the top outlet with the temperature sensor and the other plugged into the bottom of the outlet. It is a regular house current and the breaker is either 15 or 20 amps and never tripped. If you have a unique situation you may need to consult an electrician. The rugs worked great for us, but wished they were a little bigger with longer cords in relationship to the cost. I plugged 2 large mats and 1 step mat into one outlet using extension cords.

Well... I am not sure. I have it set up and I'm not going to take it apart meow. But I don't remember it being especially short. Have you tried downloading the manual from the Creative website? It might tell you cable lengths.

It's two feet long. I have a quick disconnect but if you are active at your console, you should probably get an extender.
