Onelink dock cable length

Hi everyone
I am thinking about cleaning up my desk with a onelink dock. Since I plan to hide the dock under the table, I'd like to know, how long the onelink cable is. I couldn't find any info about that on the web.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the quick answer, I was hoping it'd be a little longer than the pictures suggest but I guess I'll find a way to mount it directly under the desk.
Just to avoid unpleasant surprises: Are there any disadvantages of not having the dock easily accessible? It doesn't disable the power button or USB ports of the thinkpad itself, right?

Lenovo OneLink Dock with Multiple Monitors

Hi,
I ordered an S431 (which only has one HDMI port for display output). I currently use two monitors from my laptop, and was wondering if the OneLink dock would allow me to continue to do so. Would I be able to connect to one monitor using the HDMI output from the dock and another from the laptop, or will using the dock disable the HDMI output on the laptop?
Thank you!

Yes, it allow to use HDMI from the dock and HDMI from laptop together. You can use your two monitors.
Actually you can also use your laptop LCD with two external together.
That means you have total 3 screen at the same time.
Try it, when you get it
That sort of defeats the purpose. That is why I stick with the "classic" Lenovo USB 3.0 dock. There at least you can connect two (DVI) monitors to the dock. The Onelink concept is ruined by having to connect a second monitor to your laptop. Ideally, the Onlink dock would have 2(!) HDMI connectors on the dock itself, as well as an option to swap the Onelink cable for a USB 3.0 cable. The "classic" Lenovo USB 3.0 dock has this and therefore can also be used on Macbooks,which allows me to alternate between my MacBook Air and my X1 Carbon

How to undock Thinkpad Yoga from Onelink Docking station?

I used the search but I couldn't find the answer to my problem, so here it is:
I've got a Thinkpad Yoga and a Onelink Docking station but I can't figure out how to safely hot undock.
I cannot find any option to undock and just ripping of the onelink cable doesn't feel to be quite safe ?!?
Thanx for your help.

Welcome to the forum!
Even if it were physically possible, you wouldn't be able to use both Ethernet ports at the same time, because the motherboard doesn't support more than one connection at the time.
Cheers,

How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging? I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5 mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work on the ipod.

How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging? I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work with the ipod (although it does work with an MP3 player). My ipod is a 5th generation 80GB classic.

I know this is old - but did you ever get this working. Thinking of getting a 780 ti card and I have an older mac with the mini-displayport too.

Dock cable broken after only 1 month of use

I use the dock cable to connect my ipod classic 80gb to the sony stereo in my car with the usb port.After 1 month of use the cable doesn't connect to the stereo anymore and say Usb not device and only if i put the cable in a strange position it works for sometime and than again usb not device , than it works and after a bit it doesn't work anymore.I try to connect to itunes but the problem is the same.The cable cost €19 and i don't want to buy another because surely after a month it will be broken again so i just want to know why this happen.Someone can give me an advice?

Can you try eBay for the docking cables, since you sound like a cable destroyer.
I think on eBay, the cables are less than €9 or if from some Oriental countries less €1 which maybe where your fragile cable comes from.

Maximum Cable Length

This might be a stupid question, but... Is there a limit in cable length, beyond which Airport Express is unable to deliver a strong enough signal. My cable is not that long, maybe only 15 meters or something like that.
I have Airport Express (Gigabit Ethernet) and since I'm renovating my house, I had to move AEP and computers from one room to another (with one room in between). ADSL modem stayed in the room, only AEP and computers were moved.
As I did so, my internet connection (cabled trough AEP and/or wireless) became extremly slow and unstable, uploading only few bytes per second (it took half an hour to upload 300kb file).
Scenario 1 (extremly slow):
ADSL modem --15m--> AEP --> Desktop
Then I moved AEP back, and connected desktop computer in the new room, but desktop computer is unable to connect (limited or no connectivity)
Scenario 2 (no connectivity):
ADSL modem --> AEP --15m--> Desktop
But, if I connect my desktop directly to ADSL modem, everything works just fine (but of course, I don't have wireless).
Scenario 3 (works fine):
ADSL modem --15m--> Desktop
My ADSL modem is able to auto-negotiate cable type (CrossOver or normal), so I don't think wrong cable installations might be a problem....

Hello PetLj. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is there a limit in cable length, beyond which Airport Express is unable to deliver a strong enough signal.
The maximum CAT-5 Ethernet cable length would be 100m. However, cable length and wireless strength are not directly related.
However, it is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your AirPort Express from providing a good clean signal to wireless clients.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:

o KisMAC
o MacStumbler
o iStumbler, or

Can I sync Outlook via iTunes by docking iTouch with docking cable??

Going to sail in the Pacific Ocean. Want to get my contacts and calendar reminders out of Outlook into my iTouch while sailing with no access to G3, cloud or even Wi-Fi technologies. Could I sync using the docking cable via iTunes?

Yes, you can sync with Outlook. Read the chapter on Mail for more information.

Maximum cable lengths for USB / FW / DVI & sVGA?

I've hunted around on the net and can't find any kind of definitive answer regarding maximum cable lengths for USB, Firewire 400/800 and DVI / sVGA monitors. Can anyone shed some light?
I'm about to shift my studio into a new room, and have the oppourtunity to stick my G5 and external drives into a corridor cupboard adjacent to where my studio is - in other words, noise free bliss! But....
...if I map out how far my computer monitors, keyboard and audio interface will be from the cupboard, and take into account the twists and turns involved in neat routing, I'm looking at a distance of about 10 meters. I need to know if any of these devices will be OK with such a long run of cable, and if not, if it's possible to achieve a good result using hubs or repeaters?
So, can anyone help me out with info on:
an Apogee Ensemble (Firewire 400)
an Apple keyboard (USB 2.0)
an LCD flatscreen (DVI)
and another LCD flatscreen (sVGA)
Many thanks!

I was just researching the very same thing, though it does not sound like my studio setup will be as sweet as yours. Here are a few things I ran across:
FIREWIRE-
"The maximum cable length specified by the IEEE1394 standard is 4.5 meters. However, more recent tests have shown that certain high quality firewire cables can achieve longer lengths without significantly affecting transmission quality. Several manufacturers sell firewire cables longer than 5 meters (some up to 50 meters)."

I found an example of a company who claims to sell a firewire cable of that length:

USB-
There is forum discussion on the topic I was reading yesterday:
http://www.everythingusb.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=804
But don't go past the 11th post or so, they go off on another subject... the use of hubs & the words "active extension" in that post caught my eye. A quick google search came up with this site:
http://www.everythingusb.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=804
There were a bunch sites with devices claiming to do this.
Finally I have this chart, which seems to support what what the articles say, without of course any other extension technology/solutions:
http://www.extron.com/company/article.aspx?id=dedigform10
I'm not making any claims at all about how true these sources are, I just have the same questions and decided to toss what I've been looking at into the discussion. Feel free anyone to jump in and tell me its all wrong - I'd love to hear whats right.

Zen Xtra: USB Cable length

Does anyone know what the cable length is? Because just recently, a friend of mine bought me one, and I needed to get a PCI to USB card because my PC only supported USB .. But, I want the cable to reach up to the top of my tower at least.
Thanks.

I would measure mine, but since it's all tangled into the spaghetti of wires by my computer, i'll take a guess and say it's about 6 feet. Length enough to go from my computer up to my desk with cord to spare.

ThinkPad OneLink Dock USB Probleme

Hallo Forum,
ich habe bei meinem OneLink Dock das Problem, dass ich an keinem der USB-Ports Drucker installieren kann...
Ich habe das Gerät bereits einmal austauschen lassen; doch auch beim neuen Gerät leider kein Erfolg.
Schließe ich den Drucker am USB-Port vom Notebook selbst an, lässt sich dieser problemlos installieren.
Jedes Mal, wenn ich den Drucker über einen der Ports am Dock anschließe, sehe ich sofort im Geräte-Manager ein "Unknown Device". Diesem lässt sich jedoch kein Treiber o.ä zuweisen. Ich habe lediglich die Information, dass ein unbekanntes Gerät angeschlossen ist, welches "einwandfrei funktioniert".
Gibt es ähnliche Erfahrungen und Tipps für Abhilfe?
Danke im Voraus!

Hallo zusammen,
will hier mal ein Update eintragen.
Habe das Gerät nun zum Support (zumindest nennt sich diese katastrophale Einrichtung so) gesendet.
Habe zusätzlich noch angegeben, dass das Tochpad nicht sauber reagiert als zweiter Fehler. Hätte mich so nicht unbedingt gestört - aber wenn es eh eingeschickt werden muss...
Zum ersten hat die Abholung nicht geklappt. Der Fahrer von Ups kam 2,5 Stunden nach der vereinbarten Zeitpsanne. Gut kann passieren.
Gerät eingeschickt. Nach einer Woche telefonisch nachgefragt - Antwort per Mail - kein Fehler gefunden. Sofort Antwort per Mail zurück, ob das Dock mit Ethernet und Bildschirm getestet wurde und nicht nur mit Maus. Der Fehler tritt nur in Kombination auf - das hatte ich aber bei der Störungsmeldung bereits angegeben. Was stellen die sich vor - um eine Maus anzuschließen bauche ich kein Dock !! Darum gebeten, dass mich der Techniker direkt anrufen soll. Das war letzten Freitag.
Heute Anruf von Lenovo. Das Gerät befindet sich vermutlich schon auf dem Rückweg. Mein Hinsweis in den Mails wurde nicht beachtet, der Techniker könne mich auch nicht anrufen da er kein Deutsch spricht !!!!. Die Dame vom Support hat nun nochmal meine Hinweise auf den Anschluss von Ethernet und Bildschirm zusammen mit der Maus aufgenommen und schaut ob Versand noch gestoppt werden kann.....
Das Tochpad sei im übrigen auch in Ordnung - was ich so nicht bestätigen kann.
Das alles bei einem hochpreisigen Laptop für 1500 Euro.
Das schlimme ist - ich komme mir hier irgendwie hilflos vor - was kann man noch tun ?
Sowas hätte ich von Lenovo nie erwartet.
Bind mal gespannt wie es jetzt weiter geht - Das Gerät ist nun schon 1,5 Wochen weg.

What can be the max difference in cable lengths that we can have between the ISLs in a port-channel between MDS switches?

Hello All
What can be the max difference in cable lengths that we can have between the ISLs in a port-channel between MDS switches? Do we have any documentation?
Thanks
Chetan

competitive solution instead recommends a distance variance of 30 meters or less among ISLs within a trunk. If the distance variance is greater than 30 meters, undesired and degraded performance will occur. For example, if a trunk has a distance of 100 kilometers, the competitive trunking solution allows a cable length variance of only 0.03 percent!

What is the max. cable length that the Differential TTL signals can run in both at high and low frequencies?

Hello,
I want to now the max. cable length that the Differential TTL signals can run in both at high and low frequencies.

That is very dependant on the type of cable, its construction, and inherent impedance and capacitance. This may be of use:

NI PXI 2576 Mux and LFH 160 Cable length.

Hi,
This is SIVA from India. We have plan to buy NI PXI 2576 - 64 channel Multiplexer and Interface cable LFH 160. The project is in design stage. We couldn't able to find out the LFH 160 Interface cable length in NI website. If any one come across this cable. please let me know the same.
Thanks
SIVA

Hi Siva,
I believe that the mating cycles on the LFH side is up to 5000, D-Sub side is at least 500. Let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you,

Ethernet cable length from route

Love this forum: After a few years of use this is the first time I haven't found an answer by searching!
Everyone seems to say that the limit of ethernet cable is 100 meters but in two apartments with different routers I have not been able to get a connection between (two different) the router and my computer over about 25 feet. I'm using a (seemingly) top of the line d-link wireless router but maybe its too weak. Can anyone suggest a router or switch that will reach 50 feet or more?
Thanks!
(P.S.) wireless is too slow to back up my iPhoto library, which I want to back up to a Linux Ubuntu PC home server.

Thanks for responding!
The iPhoto library is about 25 gigs at the moment (iTunes is another 15gigs), and can grow pretty quickly. I do have 250gig firewire drive for back up next to the computer but I feel my life of photos in that library and want a second backup in another room of the apartment. I installed Ubuntu on a Windows PC so I could use NFS sharing with the Mac (works great except for speed).
The specifications all talk about maximum theoretical lengths and none of the manufacturers discuss actual cable lengths. Everyone seems to assume that any router will do the job.
I did find an interesting post at the bottom of this:
http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/showthread.php?t=172404
so I've order a couple of 50ft cat5e cables with factory attached jacks to see if it was my crimping color order that was at fault (which doesn't really make sense but it's the only thing I've found)
Should get them in a few days...

Cable length limit on the so-called "Internet" port?

Is there a limit on the cable-length when connecting an Ethernet cable to the so-called "Internet" port on a WRT54G router?
I assume this is a standard 10/100 Ethernet port, since I am connecting this to the Ethernet port of my DSL modem. Since the Ethernet standard defines a maximum cable-length of 100 meters when connecting any 2 Ethernet devices, I should be able to use a cable up to this length when connecting 2 Linksys routers together.
Here is what I want to do:
DSL Modem-->Linksys Router-->Linksys Router
My first Linksys WRT54G router is connected to a DSL modem. I want to put a second WRT54G Linksys router in a different building, and connect them with a 100 meter Ethernet cable, connecting the remote end to the second router´s "Internet" port, and the other end into one of the first router´s available 10/100 ports. This will allow me to create 2 wireless signals, with 2 different DHCP scopes and 2 different SSID´s, basically allowing me to extend the range, with the 2 routers connected with a physical wire.
This works when connecting them with a short, 2 meter cable. Using a short cable I am able to associate with the second router´s SSID, get a DHCP address from that router, and then turn on RIP on both routers and have traffic route from the second router to the first one and out to the Internet successfully.
However, when I replace the short cable with a longer one, either 80 meters or 100 meters, I don´t get a link light between the routers. I do get a link light if I connect to a 10/100 port on both routers, but RIP doesn´t seem to want to exchange routes on the second router out anything other than the "Internet" port. Moving the cable back to the "Internet" port fails to produce a link light (unless I use a really short cable, which does produce a link light).
So my question is this: from a Layer-1 perspective, is the "Internet" port an Ethernet port that enforces a cable-length limit that doesn`t follow the standard 100 meter rule?
--- Christer

well..the internet port is definitely an ethernet port...however, it is not supposed to limit the cable length .. try a 50 m cable and check whether it works...because my friend had a similar kind of an issue and it worked fine with a 50 m ethernet cable ..
