Need ADC extension cable

I can't believe I am having so much trouble finding an extension cable!!! I have a 20" cinema display (2004) with permanently attached ADC cable and a G5 (2004) with an ADC input. It works great but I must move the CPU further from the monitor and the cord will not reach. I have found 2 cables; one from Dr. Bott and one from Griffin that would do the job but they are all discontinued! I've searched the web, my local reseller, and nobody has it. They must have made thousands of these things but the only place they seem to have them is Australia. I can't even find one on Ebay. Am I doomed to a life where my monitor must always be 4 feet from the CPU? What else can I do? Could I use ADC to DVI cables and adapters to somehow jury rig it? Apple- how can you invent and then abandon a connection system and leave thousands of people flapping in the breeze??? Thanks.

Mini-DVI extension cable?

Has there ever been such a thing as a mini-DVI extension cable?
I use an external monitor with my MacBook, so I have to use the mini-DVI to VGA adaptor. The problem is that I now have this big bulky VGA connector sitting on my desk just to the left of my MacBook.
I figured that I would simply go buy a mini-DVI extension cable that would allow me to get the VGA connectors off of my desk. However, I have searched all over the Internet and found that such a cable does not exist.
The only thing that comes close is a 1.8 meter Male-to-Male mini-DVI cable available from shentec.com (http://www.shentech.com/apmitomimato.html). But of course I need a Male-to-Female cable.
Since the mini-DVI connector is primarily only used by Apple, it would be nice if Apple would build and sell mini-DVI extension cables in 2 or 3 varying lengths.

Dang...
I tried to see if CablesToGo could make a mini-DVI extension cable and this was their reply:
{quote} +"Unfortunately we cannot build a cable like that. It is an Apple proprietary connection that we cannot obtain.+
+We apologize for any inconvenience. "+{quote}
I'll have to try some other companies...maybe newertech.com and Dynex. Anyone know of other companies that could make this cable?

RCA Extension Cable - Male to Female a make that fits Inspire 5.1 speakers?

Hi
I want to extend the distance between my speakers and the subwoofer. I believe I have a Creative Inspre 5200 system. I bought some RCA male female extension cables but the male nad female ends were too long and did not fit either the jack on the end of the speaker cable or the input into the subwoofer.
Can any one male any recommendations or provide sources to buy cable with the correct fitting male female ends?
many thaaks

Creative offers many speaker systems that will fit your needs, without decoder.
You mentioned the Inspire 5700 system; this system comes with a decoder/amplifier, and wouldnt actually be what you'r looking for.
If your looking for awesome sound-quality, and good power, I can recommend the 5.1 Megaworks system, though this system can get quite expensive, you'll get what you pay for.
The megaworks (like "all" other creative speaker systems, got a built in amplifier in the subwoofer, where you connect all the speakers.)
To connect the speakers to the DVD-player, you connect the multichannel output on the DVD-player, to the multichannel input on the back of the subwoofer. (three stereo minijack inputs.)
You may need some RCA-to-minijack adapters, so that the multichannel audio cable that comes with the megaworks, will fit on your DVD-players output.

I recently purchased a shutter release remote for my IPAD camera but the cord is only three feet long. I purchased a 3 banded AV extension but it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what the correct extension cable is and where I can find one? Thanks.

I recently purchased a shutter release remote for my IPAD camera but the cord is only three feet long and I need an extension cord. I purchased a 3 banded AV extension but it doesn't work. I have been told that I need an extension cord that has AV and Mic to enable the remote shutter release to work with the extension cord. Can anyone tell me what the correct extension cable is and where I can find one? Thanks.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Male 30 pin to female 30 pin extension cable

Does anyone know who makes a male 30 pin to female 30 pin extension cable or converter. Can't find one online and the reps at the Apple store were not helpful. I can't attach any accessories that need to be flush with the 60g IPod (such as the FM Transmitter, docking station) without taking it out of the case which increases the chance of scatching it.
Thx

If you just want something to lift the iPad a little and make it charge with other older style firewire based chargers, maybe you want this -> Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter for iPhone 3G
A quick Google search shows results for the male to female 30-pin extension you described.

Firewire extension cable

Is there a firewire extension cable/adapter I can use with iSight?

You're welcome, Miles,
All I need to know is how long the SightFlex firewire cable is.
I do not use SightFlex, and I can no longer find it for sale on the web, so I cannot verify its "specifications." However, according to the third paragraph of this link, SightFlex's cable is 20 inches long.

Recommended extension cable for Apple LED 27" to MacPro 2010?

Okay, from what I have read the cable on the 27" LED display is a bit short. I need to travel at least 5 feet from the desktop to where the computer sits. What do you recommend as an extension cable to help bridge the gap?
A while back they suggested this:
http://www.cpustuff.com/mini-displayport-male-to-mini-displayport-female-extensi on-cable.html
Any other choices?

Yup! I'm using 10.6.5 and see no problem with the cables.
I've always assumed that if audio can come through a mDP of the card then it was a physical property of the cables themselves (e.g., appropriate additional connector pins and the connections to them) that determined whether they could carry that audio signal. In other words I don't see what difference the OS version has to do with it. If audio isn't coming out of the mDP from one update to the next then some configuration data (maybe what's in the sound system preference) has changed and audio shouldn't come out even if no extension cables are used.
Also, I don't think any (pkg) installer, including system installers, are capable of updating the firmware in the video card.
One thing I might suggest is resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964). Sometimes that can "shake free" some of these sound "quirks"

Minimal extension cable for 30" display and macbook

I want to use the 30" Cinema display with my macbook, and my macbook wants to be in my lap. This is incompatible with the medussa's head of cords coming out of the video cable and the display's power brick. All I need is about 4 more feet of extension for video cable ONLY -- I don't need to connect the firewire and USB cords from the monitor to my macbook. So my question is this: what is the minimal cord I need to extend just the dual-link dvi output a little farther from the power brick? Do I really need to spend $300 for the fancy 10 meter cables I see when I search for "DVI extension cable" ??
Thoughts or advice, anyone?

You can get a 3' or 6' dual-link DVI cable here for $30 or $40.
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/cables/hdmi_dvi.jsp#dvidl>
Unfortunately it is male to male so you will need an adapter such as

There may be cheaper ones, but make sure you get dual-link.

Keyboard extension cable help

My desk is set up in such a way I have always needed a keyboard ext cable. I had an iMac (2006) with which I used a USB 2.0 ext cable. That same cable will not work with my brand new iMac. I am guessing I need to buy a USB 3.0 ext cable?

Roger, think it through. The connector at the end of the keyboard's cable has a groove, not a tongue. The keyboard's Type A connector will plug into any USB type A receptor. If it had a tongue then that would be a different story, you would only be able to plug a connector with a tongue into a receptor with a matching groove.
Now I just went to find the Apple USB extension cable that came with the aluminum keyboard that I never took out of the box and it has a tongue in the Type A receptor, which limits the use of the cable to a USB Type A connector with a matching groove. So it is the reverse of what you said above. You can use the keyboard with any USB Type A extension cable or port. But Apple seems to be limiting the use of their USB Type A extension cable to their own keyboards and mice that have a matching groove.
From the Wikipedia article about USB - (emphasis mine)
Apple has shipped non-standard USB extension cables with some of their computers, for use with the included Apple USB keyboards. The extension cable's socket is keyed with a small protrusion to prevent the insertion of a standard USB plug, while the Apple USB keyboard's plug has a matching indentation. The indentation on the keyboard's plug does not interfere with insertion into a standard USB socket. Despite the keying, it is still possible to insert standard USB plugs into the extension cord. The protrusion can also be shaved off with an appropriate blade, or crushed with locking pliers.

Optimum extension cabling for 20-inch Cinema

I need to add up to 2 meters distance between my MacPro and my 20 inch cinema display.
Is there an extension cable on the market that combines the video/firewire/USB cables and thereby accomodate the original cable, or
Do I have to extend these cables separately?
I ran across a 3 meter extension for the video cable? Can I just connect this up and expect it to work or will some kind of booster or other active component be required?
Can firewire & USB be extended 2-3 meters without ill effects?
My ideal is a 2 meter extender cable that mates perfectly with the 3 functions in the original cable, and you just connect it up and go ... is this possible?

Thanks. Your reference puts me on the right trail.
The cited reference seems to imply there's a non-active version of the apple combo cable that would work for the 20 inch cinema ... but I'll be damned if I can find it. Hopefully I can get some direct feedback from Geffen about it.
Careful measurements show that I really only need to extend my original combo cable 3 feet. Are you proposing that I just use one of their 'copper' DVI extension cables, a gender adapter and separately buy extensions for the USB and Firewire.

Power plugs and extension cable queries

Hi,
I am using a Netgear router with the Open reach modem for Infinity 2. Where they are located at the master socket I have 2 electric points. I have a 5 plug extension cable in one for router, table lamp etc. I read that the modem should not be plugged into a plug extension cable so I have the modem plugged into the second electric point. I wish to use my hh3 as a WiFi range extender upstairs via powerplugs. As you're not meant to plug powerplugs into extension cables I'll need to put the modem into the extension lead. Is that a really bad thing to do?
Will it matter that my Netgear throws out 5 and also 2.4ghz but the hh3 as the WiFi range extender is 2.4 only?
Is there a step by step on how to set the hh3 up as a WiFi range extender? I've Googled it but can't really see anything simple.
Thank you

Try the powerline adapters and see if they work.
It will not matter if your Netgear uses both bands, just make sure its on a different wifi channel that the HH3 extension.
This guide should help, just setup the slave part, as the master is your Netgear router.
If your Netgear router uses a different subnet than the home hub, you will either have to change it, or alter the HH3 setting to match it, as both have to on the same subnet. It may be easier to change the Netgear, as the home hub can be a bit temperamental when you start changing IP ranges
Link BT two home Hub 3s together and extend your wireless to another location.

30 inch monitor ... extension cable? How to run moonitor in another room

I have a recording studio and have a quadcore and a 30 inch monitor. I'd like to run my tower in another room and put my monitor in the control room. Is there a correct extension cable that someone could refer me to?
The distance is about 30 feet or so.
thanks!

now I have the same issue with my PPC G5 running 2 19" monitors. I think they're connected via VGA. Do i need a VGA booster as well to power those monitors appx 30 ft away?
A high quality VGA should work without a booster.

Call them to be sure. Tell them what resolution and refresh rate you will be using.

Wired keyboard with/without extension cable?

One realizes that these days the sleek new Apple corded USB keyboards - those with nummeric block - in the unit sale (not as a component of iMac shipment)
are fitted with additional USB cable. It seams to be some sort of extension cable for convenient connection of other USB device.
However the keyboard of the same type delivered with sleek new iMac Late 2013 - the purchase was in February 2014 - was
not delivered with such additional cable. Nor the user manual for keyboard was attached. Instead of this
the Magic Trackpad ordered with that iMac got two hard copies of user manual.
Regarding the additional usb cable attached to corded usb keyboard is this a change conducted by Apple
between February 2014 and these days, or rather an error in shipment those days?

However the keyboard of the same type delivered with sleek new iMac Late 2013 - the purchase was in February 2014 - was not delivered with such additional cable.
Check that keyboard to see if it has a USB port on either side. Mine (ordered with a 2011 iMac) has one on each end. If it doesn't then there's no need for an additional USB cable. I don't remember if it included a USB cable.
According to this Apple product page, Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA), separately ordered wired keyboards with keypads come with two USB ports and an USB extension cable. However, when ordered with a iMac Call an Apple store or Apple at phone number at the bottom of this page and ask if it should have.

Apple iPhone headphone extension cable

Hi!
I am looking for an extension cable to extend the original in-ear-headphone (mic and sound) from the Brodit Passive holder in my car (left of the stearing wheel and down betweeen the seat where I can plug the headphone in. It needs to be 1-1,5 m long.
Dont want the cable types with integrated mics, since I want to use the original in-ear-headphone with mic and sound.
Any ideas what to get?
Regards
Claus

It's not slim and sleek or white like the iPhone headphones but it's the only one I could find. I'm getting one for my work computer as I like to sit slightly further away from my laptop there.
You site offers a 3ft, 6ft, 12ft, and 25ft option. I don't think I'll need more than 3ft so here's the link for that one: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/STELLAR-LABS-24-10461-/24-10461
I sure hope someone can find a slimmer one that's white.

Lengthening of an DC Power Extension Cable for my WVC54GC

Hello,
i need to set up some new ip cams and my busbars are 6 meters away from the installation. i'm asking myself what would be the maximum lengthening of an DC Power Extension Cable i could safely use?
The "longest" cable i could find is this 3M DC Power Extension Cable. Since im not familliar with power supplys and electrical stuff i wonder if its save to put two or three of these extension cables in a row? What do you think?

Mediengestalter wrote:
Thanks for your reply. We're talking about power cables and not lan cables - right? Because in case of power cables i never heard of "maximum data rates" and "actual data throughput". So hwat do you mean exactly?
Im sorry for that.. I misunderstood the question. What I thought is the LAN cable. Regarding the extention cable though, I still think it's safe to to put two or three extension cables.
