My post and tree and 105' apart. What's the best way to extend the line, buy an additional piece of cable? I know the run wouldn't continue, that's ok

I bought a cable with a dog clip on each end to go around my tree,then I threaded the free end of the boss through it and used the 2 clamps to secure.It has been up for awhile now and works a treat.It can be used to lengthen but in my case our dog was pulling the clamps and still able to reach the fence to dig.This way the join stops him.Also I didnt realize the weight limit for this runner .My boxer is much heavier and a puller (33kg) and it holds him just fine. I would suggest spraying all metal though as the clips rusted very quickly,but its only surface rust,I just give it a spray of WD40 every few weeks.You could use a bit of chain and thread through that as well.

I had the same problem so my son bought stuff at Lowes I think to continue and a tool to tighten. it will loosen and sag with time. we also had to replace the lead since my dog chewed it down to the wire. it rusted and he would tangle himself all up. the new lead is longer but coiled and so far he hasn't managed to chew through it. this is a good run and much cheaper than building you own but does need a little help.

I extended it 80 ft, but your going to need cable connectors tools and knowledge of soldering to extend the or receiver wire

North Pole Alaska,.....just curious what type of system you have because we are needing to do the same thing since the original 60ft cables are too short for some areas of our home

i probably have a 25 ft cable and that is working well, don't know how it will work for 50 ft.

I didn't use posts. I mounted a bracket to my house and used 3 trees. The ropes to the trees are about 15 feet long.

First of all, I would not recommend any lengths longer than 300 feet if data strength and reliability is important. This pertains to cable from any manufacturer. Here's a test. Place a fitting on each end of the cable while it's still in the box. Connect each end to your equipment and and check if it works for you. For this length, I would recommend either in-line repeaters or better yet, use a fiber optic cable.

My cable is only 20 feet long. Sorry, I can't help you on a 100 ft. It seems like a good cable..

If you installation is good - good coax and connectors, I would say there is nothing you can do, other than raise it higher off the ground. I sent mine back.

Garmin sells the extension cable. The only size is 50ft so you might have length left over. I needed an extra 6ft for my install so I bought the long one and cut it down by removing the middle section and splicing the wires back together. I would advise that you test the cable before you cut it in case it doesn't work.

I would be cautious of the length of the run and the environment. I had issues getting picture, but it was because I had to run right next to ac voltage. When I ran test leads that were separated it worked very well. I had no choice but to run next to the ac so I had to use a much more expensive single cat6 balun instead. If you don't have issues with electric you should be fine.

thank you! we will probably try to go through the seam. the instructions on the manual only said we have to doubleloop it around the whole yard 6 feet apart. I figured there had to be a better way!! thanks.

there is an extender that you can find for this. it also raises the unit by a few inches.

Definitely something is wrong. I have mine on a 10 foot wooden pole approx. 10 ft from my house and can pick up pd's 35 miles away plus. Check your connections.

You also might want to add a turnbuckle to the mix, so you can maintain constant tension on the cable.. Of course, you also might pull your tree down. :)

I had cable installed for TV previously and connected three locations: A) upstairs loftB) upstairs Master BedroomC) and first floor family room.They ran back demarc on the outside of the house approximatly 25 to 50 meters for each leg.

You might have to call Phillips should be able to provide you with extending cable

You will need a set of extenders which are available for this on amazon.... I think. I got them somewhere related.
