304.0. "Longer cable?" by FINALY::FOXJS (Many such journeys are possible..) Mon Jul 31 1989 03:15

    Does anyone know if you can buy a cable extension kit for the
    Nintendo?  What I'm looking for is something that will allow me
    to place the unit further from the TV.  I would rather it be
    a longer mail cable so the whole unit can be further and not
    just a controller extension.  Please forgive me if someone
    else has already asked this, I looked and didn't see anything.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Jim

304.1Sounds simple to me...MAGIC1::BEAUDETJUNK_YARD_DOG! DTN:297-6276Mon Jul 31 1989 12:4518
    
    
    	either:
    
    	1) extend the controllers:  there is at least 2 company that
           makes cables - HMC Inc (Sharon Ma.) that has 2 6' cables
           packed in the box
    
    	2) extend the console:  "America's store" Radio Shack, you can
           purchase 2 RCA phono cables (just like the ones packed with
           the console) in the length you desire.
    
    Don't know how far you can extend the console or controllers before
    you might experience control/performance loss.  It should be that
    simple!

304.3Here's what I triedSYOMV::HOODFri Aug 04 1989 19:356
    I took 35 feet of 75 ohm cable and added phono jacks to the end and
    place it between the unit ant the TV adapter with no distortion at
    all.  I have a 6 foot SONY projection screen that it's hook up to.
