Long cable for Era 300

Which “long cable” are you referring to? Do you have a link?

Sonos no longer has them on their site, but it was an 11.5’ angled or straight cable. But the question is still, will there be a long cable available for the Era 300? There will be placement issues & a longer cable will alleviate that for some people like myself. 

Sonos until recently sold long cables for most of their gear. I got one for my Beam a while ago. However the popup menu to choose lengths only offers Standard right now, unclear if that is a temporary situation or not.

Is this a power cable? If so, there’s lots of other companies that service that space. OK, maybe not lots, but some. I used to use Flexson, who made some nifty extensions for my power cords, but I’ve also created my own by splicing ends of cables to other cables. Most often, just shortening the desired length, mostly before shorter cables were “a thing”. 

Most speakers use standard cable connections, the exception being (I think...I’ve not looked recently) the Sonos One, where it actually sits on the cable connector. But all of my Arcs and Subs use a bog standard (I think) cable connection, so I could easily shop for longer as needed. 

Looking at the pictures on the Sonos site, it sure looks like a standard cable into the middle of the back of the device, so it should be relatively easy to get something longer, even if Sonos doesn’t offer it.  

Was looking for the same extended cable solution for my forthcoming Era 300’s.
 

Included in the box with the 300’s are 2m - 6 ft cables which have round ends and figure of eight pins plugging in sideways or west to east leading to a right angle cable feeding straight up or north to south, allowing it to be fed down the speaker stand poles. The existing extended right angle cable at present on the Sonos site is different. The figure of eight plug is north to south directing the cable feed west to east if plugged into the 300’s - not ideal for the new Sonos speaker stands. Hopefully an extended 3 metre plus power cabe will be available soon after the launch on the 28th March.

That figure 8 is a fairly standard cable termination. If Sonos doesn’t bring out something to your satisfaction, it should be fairly easy to find other options. 

Search Amazon for “C7 Power Cord”...if Sonos doesn’t have what you want/need. You’ll find all sorts of lengths, and 90 degree terminations, too. Pick what you want, or visit another electronics retailer of your own choice.

As I say, it’s a standard connection used in many, many places, not just on the Sonos Era 300 speakers. 

Thank you 👍🏻

FYI… according to Sonos, using a third-party power cord will void your warranty.

True, but if it was the only option due to placement issues how would they even know? Unless the cord itself caused some issues to the speaker & it was sent back for warranty of course.
