Can I use telephone cable between sections of sensing cable to monitor multiple areas - combined length up to 240'?

This is probably a technical question that you best ask the manufacturer...800-468-1502. Nothing in the instructions indicate "yes" or "no", but because the cable IS the sensor, I would say it's unlikely you can use telephone cable.

Hi I think you can, I've just connected up a 8ft sensor RWD80 to a RWD41 unit using the sensor which it comes with and the extension cable and it alarms on both sensors lengths. You could ask technical as well or try it. Recommend trying it without running all the cable in, try it with the cable still on the roll, hope it make sense, let us know how you get on regards Neil

The supplied cables are 60'. You could use a 150' RG5918/2 cable and a plug in power supply to avoid signal degration and power loose on the very small sized cable provided.

Yes i bought cable extenders like 25ft. only 8 dollars a pc. had the male female end..

Since you are testing continuity of a single run, if one end is in one room that's where you plug in one of these. Then you go to the location where the cable terminates and plug the other part. So yes if it's the same run you can test it that way.

I got a 200ft. length of the stuff you're checking out now at first. This was too long to go from the TV room to my sons room. And it was very week on the outer-coating and needed to be replaced within a month or so. Then I bought a 150" length of this stuff off Amazon, "Cable Matters Cat6 Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable in Black 150 Feet." and it is much better doing both inside and outside work. I would recommend the sections stuff greatly. It comes in lengths from 200 + feet to 50" or less.

The length might work (best to measure) but buy a different cable, as this one is junk (not CAT5 inside)

When you say remotely, Im slightly confused. If you are asking if you can plug in one side of the cable in, and then check on another side of the cable then yes. Cable test just requires that you have each side on one of the testers. The way it tests it, is by showing lights in order if they are open or swapped. Since both sides have lights you can check from either end. I don't know what the max length is, but Im sure its around the 300 feet / 100 meters.

No. If the key word is DIFFERENT this simply splits the signal for 2 identical monitors. I am on a splitter to 50' for one room and 6' at the computer. Works perfect for me to have 2 security monitors in 2 different locations. BTW I bought a good 50' cable.

Yes. This can be done. You need to have access to the hot wire you want to monitor.

This is a one-way cable. According to their Customer Support, no USB cable over 15' works well due to data loss. This cable has a circuit in the female end that boosts the signal, but only in 1 direction. It doesn't matter which direction, towards the device or away from it, 1 direction only. Personally, I don't believe the 15' limitation. I have 2 15' cables connected together that feed a very sensitive device and it works fine. If you do use this cable outside, make sure that the female end gets some serious waterproofing!

go to rosco vision system and buy an extension at about 16ft. length that will make the connection.

It should work fine if you extend the sensor wire to the area that you need to monitor.

Why would you need a splitter - This cable is 25 feet long and it worked great for my application. All I used it for was to hook my laptop up to my TV. I would think a splitter might degrade the signal strength a little. There are longer cables if you need them. Look into the specifications of the splitter you intend to use for more information about its limitations. Good Luck

Cat5 and Cat6 cable is only considered reliable for 100m which is about 300ft plus 20 ft for patch cables. You will need to use an extender unit to boost the signal on both ends.

Rj, I'm not sure, I only used it to test CAT5 over about 50 feet and coaxial cable about the same distance. It worked great.

Yes, This Model(3844) Provides the 8 Foot Sensor Cable. Gives You An Overall Length Of Almost 10Ft After The Sensor Is Hooked up.

I'm not aware of where you can order cables with the connectors used for this device. However, you should be able to use regular twisted-pair networking cable to add length by splicing it into the provided cable. I'm not sure what length before the signal would degrade, but I would expect you could go 100 feet or more. Just some advice if you splice: don't cut too close to the connectors, in case you need to repair or re-do the splice in the future, you want to give yourself plenty of room (I'd splice at least a few feet from the connectors), AND if you're unfamiliar with splicing cable ask someone who does for tips on making solid connections. I honestly don't know where to get the connectors that they use, but they look like a common style of circuit-board type connectors, so I imagine there are electronic parts retailers or manufacturers that sell them somewhere. 20 years ago, I would have said "go to Radio Shack", but they haven't been much help recently with these kind of things. You should note, the connectors for the cameras are 4 pin, and the connectors for the control line between 2 monitors (if you have 2 monitors) are 5 pin.
