How long can you exted the cable and have the device still work?

For my uses, I do not need to extend beyond the cable length provided with the device. That said... The DS18B20 is a 1-Wire Digital Communications Temperature Sensor. The manufacturer specs state max operating current is 1.5 mA, therefore, the distance will be limited by Voltage Drop. Do not know your application, however, if distances are measured in feet, I'd speculate 20 ft with good copper conductors. I recommend using a shielded cable with shield grounded at the cable termination end only. Greater distances may be possible. Since this device is not that expensive, you could "buy it and try it."

The cable isn't user replaceable... I suspect you could probably open the unit and do it yourself but I highly suspect that would void the warranty!

I havent tried to be honest. The longest so far is couple of days, but i havent lost anything out of it so far. I think if u keep it for a month u might lose just a bar of its light indicator which could account for 2 to 5% of its overall due to its internal connections lost. Which is nornal for these kind of devices. But i normally keep it on the charge when i am not using it at home.

Based off my experience with this product: you may have a faulty cable right out of the box. My cables only lasted about a month or so before they no longer worked, but my genuine original samsung cable still works (over one year later). // There is a possibility something else is wrong though (I.e. USB port, software etc..)

I didn't replace the cable and mine is still working fine. I would say no unless you see evidence of unusual wear. Also cost would also be a consideration... If it is $5-10, no problem. If it is $25, I'd say nah...

The cable stopped working for me too. If you read my review, i mentioned that the cable stopped functioning after a couple months or purchase. You should email the buyer and hopefully you still have warranty.

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

Maybe 1 1/2 days. I'm satisfied for the price. I bought 2, and one worked a month and quit. I sent it back, and they replaced it. They work fine now.

If you are running it on gaming mode, it won't last an hour--even if you aren't actually gaming. It has gone 2 hours unplugged for me in balanced mode.

i have my receiver plugged into a usb extension cable and it works fine. the cable is around 5 feet, but i imagine it could be longer...

Sorry to say, the cable has quit working altogether, it worked great for 2-3 months ten I started to have problems, I think it could have failed due to me plugging and unplugging it. Very Delicate, I think I will buy another, or research and see if there are more products, sorry, Wade

I have been careful not to remove the connector too harshly and it is still in good condition. nothing has changed. The device still works as intended.

I just bought 30 gb video ipod. I get about 6 hours playing music and maybe 2 hours with video.I was told thats normal. I use it work and all the usb port are disabled here. After reading these posts, looks like instead of buying a AC charger I should just replace it with another one. Still with in return policey time.

Hello Tarek,If the device has a USB cable, this cable should be able to extend the length. Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support

I also have the unit and love it...have not had any problems with my cable....I would check on Goal Zero's home page..they may have replacement parts.

I bought mine 4 months ago. It still works so far. I'll let you know when it dies.

A few months. Amazingly, I just re-plugged it in and it connected! Don't know how long it will stay on line this time. It was unplugged for probably over a month.
