Long cable for Era 300

Hello,

 

I just pre-ordered a pair of Era 300’s, & would like to know if the “long cable” will be available soon. Or if any of the available long cables are compatible. Since my previous setup with the One’s required one long cable, thanks.

The long Sonos Power Cable I (https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/power-cable-i) looks like it should work even if it isn’t angled. Has anyone tried that? 

That's what I use.

I am sure Sonos will address this issue and supply a 3.5 Metre length as they do for the original Cable 1, with a right angle configuration and horizontal figure of eight plug in pin, as is now on the Era 300’s. The original would not allow the cable to neatly travel down the Sonos speaker stand pole channels, without first looping and fitting snugly into the rear, as the figure of eight pins are configured vertically. All a little confusing, but clear if your look at the back of the Era 300’s

Any updates on 3.5 metre power cables for the  new Sonos era 300   In the uk really need them when using them as rear speakers on stands again think they should have been around at launch

Quite agree. They should have been an option if you order the stands. They should be available soon.

As for me I’m looking for 0.30 to 0.50 cm era 300 power cable to avoid the snake that spiral at the back of the era 300 stand

A Google search might turn something up. Sonos doesn’t sell one.

Thanks, I did (and still do) try google but didn’t find as of today. 

… but I’m sure it’ll come from Asia, one day or another, if Sonos doesn’t release one before.

I’ve often found a variety on Amazon, although never quite what I needed, so on occasion I’ve just made my own. The biggest challenge was the PLAY:1, which had its own plug type to connect to the speakers, but many other speakers used fairly standard connectors, which made things easier.

I usually keep the original cable, and modify a replacement, just in case. It’s not terribly hard to cut to a specific length, and add a power plug, but you need to be careful, since ultimately you’re dealing with something that will carry  electrical current.

And of course, it likely breaks any warranty with the product, since you’re modifying it out of factory specifications.

I though about doing my own like you suggest (since this special C7 cable at the back is going up - or down and the plug that gets inside the speaker has to be longer than what we find on the internet and what makes it a little bit more complicated is that it is bent/curved - don’t know the exact word in english ) But i’ll wait a while for warranty purpose... 

I’ll contact Sonos to know if they intend to release one (short - and for this post in here longer ones)
