Why is the usable lenght so short? Did you mean 41".

It is 21 on each side of the gas strut which is mounted in the center of the lid

Usable length is 44" for poles or rifles. The lid, lid hardware and end handles intrude on the interior dimensions. I believe maximum length of anything with a diameter greater than 8" is 41".

its always has to be full length. I think if you need it shorter, you have to by shorter extensions.

The product dimensions say 36" long. If that's not the case, it needs to be reported.

Yes it is 41.7 inches, but if you are putting it in a narrow space - mine was 42.15! - bear in mind that you will need to be holding the unit square as you slide it into the space. The unit has thickness, and despite the small champher the overall width, if inserted at an angle, will be larger than your space. Also bear in mind that since you will have no ventilation at the sides, then you will need to have space above and below the unit.

We were able to make a cushion 55 1/2 inches long. We must not have got the one identified as 4 ft.

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.

No, it is too damn short to be of any use. If you find one long enough it should work.

I just received mine and it's SHORT. I got out my handy tape measure and it's EXACTLY 40 inches from Tip of one connector to the tip of the other connector. So 3' 4"

Handle bar height 41.5" When transporting or storing the unit folds down to 16" tall.

It is not 44" 40 to 41 depending on which edge you measure - the front or the back edge.

Probably not more than a 40" to allow room for adjustment or frame around screen.

it does say in the description 32 feet long. I never realized. Sorry for the confusion - it seems much shorter - my correct answer is: I dont know if you can shorten it. sorry

Mine is 32", it seems like it would be long enough. I bought one before and loved it, it finally broke so I got another.

I haven't noticed that at all. Sorry, though, cannot verify. The length more than serves all of my needs.

Mine is only 47 inches, no where near the 59 inches claimed in the product description.

"It's really frustrating I can;'t find this information anywhere."I agree. It's beyond me why this isn't clearly advertised. For dimensions, it suggests 5.8" which is basically half a foot. Now I'm seeing 40", 42", 3 feet, 2 feet? How hard is it to measure the correct length and put it in the product description where it belongs? That said, this is reason enough for me not to buy it.

yea its bad business, that states 65"inchs is really 86"inch's, as far as what to do, call the company, complain, return the item.
