How hard is it to shorten the cable?

its easier to just use u-claps that squeezes the cable together after you loop it to get the lenght you need and just hang the rest on the hook at apposdite of the spring just in cas you need to move it and you end up needing more lenght thats what i did.otherwise you need a real good pair of bolt cutters to cut it and it can be tough

Not hard, just loosen the cable clamps pull the cable through, and retighten the clamps.

The cable is at least 1/2 -perhaps 5/8ths inch bundled and encased - However, once stripped back and dealing with the individual wires you could probably fit it into anything. You would have to Silicone it up to waterproof it. You would also need to cap off the 7th wire to keep an inadvertent short from occurring.

Yes, there is a metal core in the cable housing so you will need a cut off tool or a hacksaw.

The cable on my particular unit was quite short; only about 18-24" or so long so that may be something to consider before buying.

i dont know if the cable is shorter, but his function is to tense the net. And is very important because the net is really heavy and you need an extra pressure.

Depends what kind of cable. If it is a USB cable then it is pretty much impossible without cutting one of the ends off, threading it and then re-soldering it together again. I just zip-tied my cable to the outside of the frame. Still looks ok and works great.

It is possible to break it down. You would have to locate and unsnap each connector, which you can do by levering in a screwdriver. You will definitely need two people, and it will be time consuming, I would estimate about twice as long as the construction process just to break it down."Easy" is a four letter word...

Yes. Lot's of extra cable for you. Proprietary plugs. Difficult to shorten.

You can use as much or a little chain as you want, including not using any at all (although that might look a little odd). To shorten the chain, you just need to bend one of the links and remove the rest. The wire can be easily cut to what ever length you wish and stripped for wiring to a switch/plug/box.

Not easily. I had to creat more angle because shortening was not best option

I didn't have to shorten it, but the directions from the manufacturer says it can be cut. I would think an electric saw would work.

I wouldn't think it'd be an issue. My cable was so long I had lots of it coiled up unused.

The cable is not very long but should be long enough. Just not much wiggle room.

J.A.,No you cannot cut the cable! Per page 15 of the owners's manual, the length cannot be changed in any way....

you can cut the end off and reterminate it as a different connector. the cable and insulation is not very thick. where the cable joins to the base is inside the unit. you can't just unscrew the supplied cable and connect a different one.

Cable is 15 ft. You cannot trim because it changes the radio wave length. Which will put radio out of tune and burn up the radio.

do you have any room to slide it up or down at all? do that and fish the cable thru. I wouldn't prying it off as it might break.
