Can I shorten the length of the cable? My trees are btween 50-100ft apart.

Yes, the way the cable and clamps are designed, you can make it any length you want up to 100 ft. Very easy, you will see when it arrives. One end is a fixed loop, but the other end, you make a loop at the length you want and tighten down two clamps with a wrench or a socket. I found the best way to do it is to make it just a bit shorter than it looks like I will need, then use a big screwdriver to pry the second loop onto the hook, that way the cable is nice and tight.

Yes, you will need some strong wire cutters. I just wrap the excess around the tree for extra support.

You can shorten at the install. Once shortened you would have to splice wire to make longer.

I have hooked up a 100ft extension with no problems. I reckon a 50ft would come with the same adapters. So I would say yes you can hook them up, or buy a 100ft instead.

Is does not matter. I recommend you place them as far apart from each other as possible in order to get more range. You should consider purchasing an extended cable.

The cable is about 10 feet long, but easily spliced to make longer. I currently have it spliced with a 35 foot extension.

The power line seems to be less than 5 ft long for this product. You may need to find something with a longer cord.

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

They can be placed about 6 feet apart, to extend the wire you would have to cut the push in cable end off and splice in a new wire. They probably make male and female extensions for these cables at Best Buy also.

Yes, you should be able to shorten the length of the light, we had a different problem, we had to makeit longer and we were able to do that without a problem..You would just cut the wiring to the size you want and remove that many links...

You should use a 16 gauge extension cord for 50 feet. If you move to 100 feet you would need to increase the gauge to 14.

No it cannot. you might try using a shorter extension but am not the expert. So, i recommend you speak to an electrician.

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

If it is of shorter distance to an outlet & no way to hide or decorate the cord?You may need to shorten as it is over 4ft.of electrical cord.

i probably have a 25 ft cable and that is working well, don't know how it will work for 50 ft.

You will have to buy the cable separate so it can be as long as you want it. It doesn't come with cable. There are several cables available in lengths to 150 feet or less.Or you might find some even bigger.

The cable is only 20 feet so bear in mind you'll use up many feet of cable going around things. The good news is longer cables are available but mine cost me as much as the unit.
