Attaching cords to this device will place a LOT of strain on the connector to the phone. Can I use an 'extension cord' or will that prevent MHL?

I had the same concern, bought a 5 pin extension and it did not pick up the device. I'm using a Samsung S4 Active, so I've got a port cover that seriously gets in the way, especially when my case is on the phone. One workaround I've accidentally found is that the tent-shaped portion at the top of the device pops off rather easily and fits much better.

That's a good question and unfortunately I don't have the answer for you because I never tried it. Anytime I used it I laid the phone flat on its bacm with the screen facing up and haven't had a problem since. It's a good piece of equipment to have. Worth the $

that's correct. If using an extension cord, the end that connects to the plate is magnetically attached (for safety reasons attached.). This might disconnect w/ an extension cord attached (happened to me).

You know, I'm not sure. I have thrown the box away and do not recall the instructions stating NOT to use and extension cord with the device, but I know it did state not to plug the outlet INTO an extension cord (I hope that makes sense!). I actually have an extension cord (three prong) and a plug strip plugged into the outlet and so far, no issues. I hope this helps! Feel free to respond if you need additional information. Take care!

I am not familiar with your device. What I can tell you is that there are 3 USB ends. The standard is the common USB large end which the cable has atone end. There are also a mini and micro ends of which this cable is fitted with a micro. Check your device to see what it requires. These cables are not all that expensive remember. I'll guess that you device most likely requires a micro. http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=378 http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=377

They use to make an 11 pin mhl cable but idk what happened. All you need it as an 11 pin mhl cable and it will work

Most cords have had no issue - but I keep an i-phone cord plugged into an extension cord next to my bed and the roomba ate the i-phone cord even though it was plugged into the extension cord. I realize Don could care less about this question anymore but I am leaving my comment for future buyers. But after 2 uses I loved this thing!

Whether it works or not depends less on the size of the male connector (as the size has to be able to insert into the female receptacle of the adapter and a regular sized head phone male insert clearly would be too small if it were the 3.5mm jack) and more on how durable the above product actually is! In my case it was not very durable, lasting only a few weeks before I had to move to monster cable's entry to this class of item. Find out the specifications of your jack to your headphones, then, see if the female connection acts as a proper receptacle for it.

To my knowledge this adapter is for use with devices that support MHL. Don't believe it will do anything if used with a device that doesn't support MHL, but that's just my interpretation of the specs.

Weinstein,I chose to purchase a 6 inch extension cable so I wouldn't have to plug the wiretap directly into the phone. I chose to do this because I was afraid of a large piece plugged into the headphone jack would torque the internal connector and damage my phone, not necessarily because it wouldn't fit with my case.

Dear Customer, Thank you for your question regarding our Micro HDMI to HDMI Cable. As your phone has a Micro USB port, this cable would not be compatible. To use this cable, you may need the use of an adapter, but the phone would need to be MHL capable. You can check with the phone manufacturer to see if your phone can do this. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

The device actually has a short entension cord attached. You can remove the plug in the back and position the device away from the wall socket. Thus, I cannot imagine why an exension cord would would not work fine. The device does not draw a lot of power so there is no danger of overheating an exension cord.

The plug it comes will work one way and one way only, the long straight plug works in the 'phones; the elbow plug goes into the device. I can see where one would want a longer cable, but doubt that without some carving away at the plug so it will fit into the deeper recessed jack, an alternative will not work.

Use a quality cable, and I'd think the shorter the better. Neither of which would make this product superfluous though. What this does, is to short out the 2 data wires in it, so the phone thinks that it's plugged into the wall, and therefore attempts to draw maximum power. I tested this over and over with a Mediabridge adapter that has usb ports. The only way i could get the usb ports on it to draw the same amount of power as I'd get from plugging it into an outlet, was by using this device.

Good Morning. The cord is definitely a lot longer than 6 inches. It is several feet long and has a 6 inch coil in within it, which appears to prevent tangling, and also protects the connectors should the cord be snatched, the coil may give a little more "play" in the line to decrease the tension where the cable is crimped into the RJ9 or 11 connector going into your phone or base. It has also served to prevent damage to either end when I have accidentally gotten up to walk away with the headset on. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if it would be as effective. I don't see why not. I would make sure the extension cord you are using is not a little cheap one and the cord thickness of your device and extension cord match closely.

you would be able to move it over a touch to add your headphone or audio out wire with out loosing functionality . Now ever the charge cord is a different story unless you install it landscape vs up and down . this stays where you put it amazingly well . I would attach the nexus landscape <----> this way then twist it horizontal . it should not move as it grips it very well . anything smaller then a nexus 7 i would not suggest attaching it as the tension probably would not hold it horizontal without it falling .

If you have a phone with HDMI out but not MHL, you can use the port to power up the HDMI adapter (I have done it with Samsung Galaxy devices).
