I see in one of the product pictures, the cable covering is torn. Is this just for illustration of the wiring, or will my cable be defective?

Hello;I actually order two of these CAT5 cables, one 50Ft and one 100Ft and both were in excellent condition. No rips, exposed wire, etc. The couplings are securely attached to the wire, professionally. I installed the 50Ft in my house and it works perfectly on my computer/DVR/and XBox. The 100Ft I've yet to install, but it is in perfect condition.

I think they are just trying to show you what's inside. Mine arrived in perfect condition--no tears, no problems,

Mine did just fine. Probably just the unlucky one to get am the defective. Contact the seller. They will probably replace the cord or the whole thing. But I'm not for sure, I didn't have any issues.

Mine has withstood almost 6 years of heavy use with no problems. Probably a weak cable signal, or a bad cable itself.

The wire is super thin so I don't think you be able to repair or replace it. Wire may have broken within the plastic coating so you won't be able to even trouble shoot. Alternative would be buy a new USB cable

It has happened to me two times over a period of a few months. It was definitely cut and not broken. I trimmed the two ends back a little bit and spliced the wires by soldering them and wrapped the wires with electrical tape. It has been about six months since the last fix and the system has been running fine. I added a couple more cameras to my video surveillance system to cover the back yard so, if it ever happens again, I will know who did it.

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to check on it today. If you'd like to contact me at techsmile42 on yahoo I can send you a better pcic of what the end of the cord looks like.

First response I think of is whether there is adequate signal and if the lights light up quicker if you move the antenna to a different direction?Next thing I think of is a loose connection from the side mounted switch to the antenna power line at the antenna itself?It is good to test the connection before sealing it all up, but I really don't want to go there!Good luck!

It sounds like you may have a defective unit that needs to be replaced. Maybe it's just the cable that needs replacing?

no, i didn't have this problem. sounds like wires inside may be crossed. get a hold of place purchased, they should swap it put for you.

I had a similar experience. But in my case it was my own stupidity- I didn't remove the clear plastic cover from the end of the optical cable. For me, that little clear plastic cover was very hard to see so I thought it was part of the actual cable. The odd thing is that cable, with the cover, worked with another device.

its been awhile since I installed it...I don't recall having to do any of that. Can you send me a pic of the wires or I will check mine later and reply

I haven't had any issues so far. The only thin I don't like is that the cable seems to be rather weak. I recommend to treat it nicely.

I have a similar Rockwood. I didn't need to replace the cable, but I would suggest inspecting it to make sure it's in good condition.

I read that review by wolfkid. Now there is a rubber or plastic collar around the cable as it goes into the 30 pin connector. So, the problem has been resolved.

Every toslink/optical cable I've ever used has indeed snapped in. It is not a real hard snap in though.It certainly should not be falling out, the connection point on your device may be damaged.Do you have any other input to try so you can see if it is just the one input that is not snapping in?

Vincent, I have been trying to get someone to hook it up for me. I had the wires run when I built the house a few months ago. When i got the unit, one of the monitor screen was pushed back, I don't think the quality is very good. Or at least their QC. Sorry this doesn't answer your question. I may try to sell mine off because I don't feel that they will back it up with a warranty. I guess we get what we pay for.

You're connection to power is most likely coming loose. Try moving your cable around and reapplying your electrical tape. Let me know if that helps.
