How long is the power cable with this unit? If I'm putting this on my roof how am I supposed to power it?

The power is fed to the unit via the coax cable that comes with the unit. The power is fed to that portion of the coax through a T-connector I mounted in my attic and supplied power to a transformer plug there.

Not very long, about 4 ft long. I had a light in my attic that I used for power.

The power entry unit is thru the splitter and you can place it anywhere that the RG6 cable passes near a 110 recepticle. Plan for this. It doesn't have to be placed at the amplifier, which should be placed just under your eave to protect it from water entry, though it is sealed. Make the cable from the antenna to the amplifier as short as possible, but protected.

The cord is about a foot long, or just a little longer. You will need a 3 prong extension cord if your power outlet is more than a foot away from your pipe.

Mine came with a power cable. It is about 3 feet long and the cable is at a right angle to the 3 prong plug. If plugging into a 2 plug outlet on a wall, the cable would block one of the outlets if you plugged it into the top, for example, with the ground oriented toward the floor. I haven't had problems with the plug in particular, though I don't find the 90 degree cable orientation to be ideal for my use.

Do not know how long the power cord is, but do not buy this unit. Bought one and it was damaged after two more that were also damaged, I cancelled my order.

Used a piece of electrical conduit.....cut it to the size I needed and fastened it to a wall on the roof.A good hardware store can help u on that!

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

If I remember right the cables are 4 or 5 feet long. The unit is in another state so I can't measure it. Extensions with matching plugs are available from many retailers. My solar panel is mounted on a garage roof and after about two years I have had no problems with water damage.

Do not know exact length. I got about 5'. Cord can be under water, but connection to power supply should be above water level unless you know how to make a water tight connection with water tight insulation.

It's roughly 4 ft of cable. The power cable is the same length so you can't go too far with it.

It's at least 3 feet long, maybe a little more. You should be able to use an extension cord.

Patrick, this is a really great unit it's really strong.The power cord on my unit, measured 84 inches so 7 feet long.

39", so you either need to be really close to the outlet or have a grounded extension.OOPS sorry just saw the other replies. Funny, I measured it with a tape measure, sounds like there is some variance amongst what people got.

The cord is not very long, maybe 3 or 4 feet. I used with a 3-prong 10ft extension cord to reach across my patio. The instructions don't warn against this, but it does say you should use a dedicated outlet. (meaning only plug this in by itself, and not have other things connected to the outlet.)

As per the instruction booklet, you can use a short ext cable if you have to but they recomend plugging it in. I am using a short one...couldnt find shorter than 6 feet but i made sure to get one meant for heavy duty applications. It has to be 3 pronged...my house hasnt burned down yet so its good!

Mine is exactly 6 feet long. I measured it. I'd say a little short considering you have to hook it up at a window level but luckily I have an outlet right by the window.

Very short power cord may be 2 feet. It can be plugged. It did not last but one season and quit working so I threw it otherwise I could have measure cord length.
