Speaker Cable Length - HP 2.0 Compact Speakers

HP 2.0 Compact SpeakersHP part: BR387AA#ABA
The specs don't have it. Does anyone know how long the cables are for this speaker set? I notice there have been several recent purchases of this item. I would be grateful if someone would let me know how long the connection cables are from the PC to the speakers.

Hi,
Should be ok to use 5V USB ports as the ones on Belkin - F8Z415TTP.

Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers

Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers?

I got an additional question bout this topic:
is it possible to use both at the same time? in my case cable-connected speakers in the living-room and an Airplay-speaker in the bathroom and/or kitchen?
so I select the Airport Express as Airplay-Output on my iPad and from there it's shared via cable AND wireless? this would solve the problem of being able to only select ONE Airplay-Output on my iPad at the same time...

Speaker Cable Quality

I'm decorating and want to install speaker wires in the wall before I buy a Megaworks system. What standard are Creative speaker wires? Can I buy any high quality speaker cable or does it have to be Creative cable. Naturally I'd like to buy the best as the wire is going in the wall.
I gather that there is a plug at either end of your cable.
Is this a standard jack plug?
I'd like to get the room finished before I install the speakers. Thanx

The creative speaker wire is of good quality. I use QED silver micro which is about the same guage, but silver plated to bring out the treble from the speakers a bit more - as long as bare wire is connected to the speaker and the speaker cable terminated eith RCA phono plugs on the other then the sound is fine. The full scale silver anni'versary are very thick and difficult to solder to the RCA phono plug- if you were to try Id suggest using a variable heat soldering station set to 300C to avoid cold solder points.

7.1 Speaker cable?

Alright, just bought a new Audigy 2 Notebook ZS, plugged it in to my computer, then attached the speaker cable to my Inspire T7700 7.1 system..... then realized the docking cable had no reception for the side speakers (like from the subwoofer to the docking cable, it's a grey plug).
So I guess I missed the boat on that one, with my Inspire T7700 I got a 4 male to 4 male speaker cable, leaving me with one too many and therefore no side speaker hookup.
So... where can I buy the new 4 male 3 male 7.1 speaker cable? Kinda sunk here with my side speakers, been searching the site and can't find the cable unless it's shipped with the sound system.
Thanks in advance.

SnIpErMiKe,
The Inspire 7700 should have come with the 7.1 cable. Have the package content again.
If you still do have it, it's best to contact support and see if they have this available.

AP Cable length issues - Will PoE injectors act as a repeater?

Hello,
We have a site utilizing the Catalyst 3650 switches with integrated controllers for WiFi. Unfortunately due to a union/political situation we're not able to work closely with cable designers and installers to ensure cable length restrictions aren't exceeded and often have to get creative with remediation for such problems.
I have 5x3700 APs that are hung in an extremely high ceiling with directional antennas that just can't boot up and connect to the integrated controller from the nearest closet. The cable length is likely close to 200m. Unfortunately, installing a 3650 closer to the APs is not an option due to architectural and environmental factors.
I'm wondering if a power injector(AIR-PWRINJ5=) will act as a simple repeater bump in the wire and effectively extend the possible cable length if inserted half way between the AP and the Switch?
We've tried using the 3560C compact switches for this problem which works great for WLC based installations but breaks the integrated controller scenario as all APs must be connected directly to the switch for the integrated controllers to work.
Thanks,
Greg

You can try to introduce a power injector between the switch and the AP, at less than 100 meters from the A . You´ll guarantee the AP receives PoE correctly. However , the cable distance facing the 802.3 Ethernet protocol remains of 200 meters , and this will , if that works, that there are many collisions in the medium due to the timing of the ethernet protocol.
If is possible, you can enter a small switch between the 3650 and the AP, as transceiver "copper-to-copper", without vlans , no routing, nothing ... just making functions of "repeater". Even there are catalyst switches of the Compact series, with inline-outline power (2960CPD-8PT-L,...). They could receive PoE of the 3650 and gives PoE to the AP, without aditional electrical wire.

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

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:
For Macs:
o KisMAC
o MacStumbler
o iStumbler, or
o IPNetMonitorX

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:

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.

Alternative speaker cable for G500 (5.1)

I'm using G500 on X-fi XM
Can anybody suggest alternative speaker cable for my G500 (from sub to sattelite) so i can have maximum sound?
How about RCA connector and how to make them?
Message Edited by rekayasa on 03-30-2007 04:36 AM

Thanks for the response- your comment "checking any receiver to make sure it has a multi-in jack that has an input etc" ? Do you mean output? I'm not aware of any home theatre receiver available with inputs for each speaker.
With the MediaCenter 2004 Edition software I do not have the option of changing settings for the sound card. I had originally planned on purchasing a receiver that passed audio through without any enhancements (AC3, Neo etc) instead relying on the card to handle conversions. With MCE it looks like I will have to use the external receiver to deal with changes. Is this going to work with the Audigy 2 ZS + MCE2004?

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 ..
