How long is the cable for the antenna and how important is its placement?

Its only about 8 inches long , I just let it lay in lay in the ceiling. The electric cord is a foot longer

The antenna is on about a 4 - 6 inch cable. It does not seem to be too critical. I pressed this with the power cable between a microwave and counter to keep it hidden and it works fine.

Not very long u will have to cut a hole for power and antennae to go through it won't mount unless u do! I send it back. It would work for me. I had no power in that area.

Rather short, maybe 24" Probably designed that way so you don't have a lot of dangling cable in your way. Once you plug in, you control it from the radio controls anyway... no need to mess with your device itself.

My understanding is that you font have to point it at the strongest signal area directly. Height is most important for success, not trying to aim the point of the antenna at strongest signal direction

Antenna cable length is about 10-15' long. I have mine ran from the back of me jeep to the radio and have plenty of cable left over.

My cable is six feet long. It is very high quality for the price and I would not hesitate to by another if I ever need it.

I don't know exactly how long it is, I think maybe 3.5-4.0'. But it is long enough so that i came off the tv, wrapped it around the tv wall mount once and installed the cable to the wall right below the tv mount. It was the perfect length for this application, since you can't see the cable from the front the way i ran it. Hope this helps

Real long. In my kit I received 3 cables. Looking at them they are about 30 feet each. I only used two. There was a splice connecter included if I needed the third, I could add it to one of the others. A note that I did not make in my review. I have the 'transmitting' antenna in the attic facing down to the first floor. Works GREAT! however, when in the attic, my phone doesn't work. The transmitting antenna is VERY directional.

The preamp unit itself should be placed on the antenna, or any signal gain from the preamp at the antenna would be lost over the longer coax cable. The power for the preamp does not need to be close to the antenna, though. I have the antenna and preamp in my attic, but the power for the preamp is in my basement.

The cable is about 3 feet long from what I can remember, but it might more. As for the second part of your questions unfortunately I cannot answer.

Well... I am not sure. I have it set up and I'm not going to take it apart meow. But I don't remember it being especially short. Have you tried downloading the manual from the Creative website? It might tell you cable lengths.

The pre-amplifier itself should be installed as close to the antenna as possible. The manual says that the power injector can be installed as far as 150 feet (in regard to cable length) away from the antenna. My power injector is about 75 feet from my antenna and works great.

If you require a longer coax than that which came in the box (12 feet), you might consider buying an amplifier to help it out. Otherwise, placing it horizontally near a wall closest to your weakest stations should do the trick.

There's not really a maximum length, because the amplifier requires such a low amount of power. That said, there is a significant amount of loss of signal with long runs of coax. The amplifier is used at the antenna to beef up that signal to mitigate the loss. The closer the amplifier is to the antenna, the better. The power insertion module can be anywhere that is convenient. If you're doing an extremely long cable run, make sure you're using a low loss cable, such as RG6. The cheaper RG59 that is quite common is okay for short runs when using an amplifier, but the longer the distance, the more important it is to use low loss cable.

About 3', but the cable is not needed, it will passively couple if placed within 12" of the receiver in question. (Inductive coupling)

Hello, the antenna comes with 15' RG58 cable. How long do you want it to be?

I think the cord is about ten feet. However, I did not have any luck with this antenna.

Antenna itself about 2' long. Cable and connector 8'. Hardly used it. Switched to WiiFi.
