I need to go about 100 feet to run a printer. Has anybody run two of these extension cables together successfully?

There are longer ones, I don't know if they are on amazon. Worst case you would need a second power hub in the middle.

I had no problem using a 100 foot cord. Remember, the till will eat the cord if not careful...

I don't use it with that long of an extension cable however there is a cable that is made that can be used at long lengths. I'm not sure if that is the cable you have.

Yes. I added a 10 foot USB extension cable and it works. It's just a normal USB type A Male to type A Female cable. I waterproofed the connection using a hot glue gun before I buried the cable. The big question is... How long of an extension cable can be used?

Sorry for the delay in replying to your question. I have not used 2 cables together, but I think that they should work O' K depending on your application.

I wouldn't recommend it the more you hook together the more the amps drop. Could cause damage to equipment running under powerd at full load. For this reason I purchased the 50' rather than adding a small ext. to my 25ft cord.

I used monoprice redmere technology cables.at 60ft they worked without a power splitter perfectly, but I do have a power splitteron just for safety..

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.

NO. Not if you use the proper cord. I am presently running 100 ft. With the cords 55195, 50 amp. Just stick with a good product.

I have. Works fine; no problems. It does have a short cord so I bought the extender as well and they work fine together. Hope this helps!

Yes, cause I run the same system. But you still need to get the male to male adapter? (I cant remember which type) to be able to extend your lines.

Not being very cautious, I used 3-100 foot 14 ga extensions, and knotted the cords where they joined to avoid pulling them apart. Have had no problems.

I am not an expert but it is my understanding not to attach two 16.5 foot strings together (end to end). They may over heat and not work properly. Each string needs its own controller and/or power supply. Hope this helps.

Cat5 and Cat6 cable is only considered reliable for 100m which is about 300ft plus 20 ft for patch cables. You will need to use an extender unit to boost the signal on both ends.

It works for me. The printer was giving me problems before I upgraded my PC. I also have extensions attached to this parallel port. So I dont know if this makes a difference. I finally got tired of dealing with the old printer and got a laser printer for under 100. So I have both connected to the new computer.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

I just used 2 standard ethernet cords (each about 75 ft) and used the coupler to join them together. Works just fine.
