does this 240 ft. cable loose any power or heat due to it's long lenth? My previous cable was 100 ft.

I have not noticed any drop in heat. I also have 2 shorter cables - I believe 100ft. - and they seem to offer the same performance. Last winter was a rough one here in Minnesota.

It would only make sense that it is engineered to compensate for its length. It's 5 watts per foot. I notice no difference in snow melt at the end" or the "beginning"' You ARE going to notice a difference in your electric bill. 1200 watts for 24 hours per day over several if not many days adds up.

not in my application - using them for ground heat in greenhouse during winter months

melted consistently with both lengths. need extra electric to run it, but is a equal heating system in both

Not that I've noticed. I also didn't notice any increase in our electric bill but you mileage may vary.

I used a 100 ft 12 gauge power cord, "US Wire 65100 12/3 100-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord", that I bought on Amazon. I noticed no loss of power.

Yes, I'm using is it in a 75ft or so application and it works fine. No issues so far.

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

I don't really know for sure, you probably should check with an electrician. I can tell you that I ran power to a detached shop from home breaker box. I used 10-3 outdoor grade wiring for the 100 foot span. Absolutely no problems.

Dan, I am not an expert in electricity but the cable getting hot is because the cable gauge is not strong enough for the power demand.I would not worry too much, my cord gets kind of hot, I would better say "WARM", and after 10 years using the cooler I haven't see any problem.I hope this help.I also agree with Jeff and Jose answers.

I use this cable for quiet a few long runs around my business. A few from 300 ft to 350 ft and I have one pushing 390 ft. All of these runs are outside between buildings. However they are all underground in conduit. I get good speed but I don't use poe so I don't know that part. I think I'd use conduit outside

Hi Lisa connecting 2 - 100ft runs is quite long. The techies at the mfg site can tell you about signal lossat that length.Best Regards,Lazz :)

It Says It's 90 Feet Of Cable But Mine Was More Like 75 Plus The "Brake" Section Of Cable. The Cable Is Very Lightweight Too, I Didn't Trust It To Hold The Rated Weight So I ReplaceD it.

Thank you for your inquiry. We have not had any issues with any of our customers coming to us saying that their lines lose tension beyond 100 ft. This camera system would be able to go beyond 100 ft.

I started having trouble with the cable right about 100ft. I did have a couple runs about 150ft, but I ended up having to purchase a 1000ft box of 18/2 and run it to just about all the locations over 100ft.

Mine was hot too but if you need this the you probably have a problem with cables, I was using this until I got a competent tech that replaced some bad cables and checked signal strength to verify which cable is bad

The one I installed was 124 feet. It works very well It does not fail, at all

I bought the 50 foot roll and connected it to a LAVA antenna and to a 4 way splitter. The cable is well made and the connectors are easy to tighten. I am well satisfied with it. I don't see any issues with the 100 foot roll.

To be honest, I don't know- it works well on a 120V because I've re-charged many times, but don't recall seeing an adapter for 240' unfortunately I'm out camping now and don't have the manual, but could check when I get home end of next week

Hello Zac, We have one of these systems installed and some of cable runs are a good distance we ran our own cat 5 cable and put our own ends on. There does not seem to be a power issue with them at this point.

I use 2 50' hoses (connected together) on mine and don't have any issues. Perhaps your 100' hose has/had a kink, causing low pressure/overheat?
