| 349421 | 2005-04-27 10:19:00 | Is it possible to get cables made to length? If so who makes them? We would like to move our Multifunction printer, across the room, which would be about a 3 or 5 meter cable needed maybe? more or less . :@@: Can you buy them that long? or cost the earth to get them made? you can use extension cord for power, but the feed cable is the pain, and a phone jack is able to be almost any length . beetle |

| 349422 | 2005-04-27 10:29:00 | Does the printer component use USB or Parallel cables? I've seen heaps of different length USB cords so I'm guessing it is parallel. I don't have proof, but I would say that parallel cable has length restrictions due to signal quality. Just like the Parallel IDE cables inside PCs'. |

I don't work at DSE beetle . Infact, I have no regular job :( I keep advocating them (and also Trademe and Ascent) because they all have online databases that are easily searched . |

| 349427 | 2005-04-27 21:00:00 | I keep advocating them because they all have online databases that are easily searched. They are often extremely expensive for things like cables though. Ie: Optical Digital cable = $40, $15 elsewhere. 2m USB printer cable $14.77, elsewhere $2 |

| 349429 | 2005-04-28 03:59:00 | The USB "maximum" length is 5m . I don't think DSE have them, nor Jaycar . GlobalPC ( . co . nz/products . asp?format=1&sort=2&cat=124" target="_blank">globalpc . co . nz) do . What you need is a "type A male to type B male" . A "type A male to type A female" (extension cord) added to the pre4sent cable might work . ;) Beyond that, you can get "Active extension" cables . |
