Hi all,

So I have a new stereo paired set of era 100 which I have wall mounted which sound incredible! but I will need to cable tidy in trunking to make the wall look tidy and the cables aren’t long enough I was thinking of getting an electrician in to just cut and lengthen the cables but am worried this will void my warrenty I looked at getting a spare cable and getting those lengthened but sonos don’t seem to sell them any idea where I can get some or if I can just cut the originals without warranty concerns.

Thanks

Matt

Hi @Mithras, welcome to the Sonos Community!

I’ve checked with our sales team and we don’t have a timeline for the long/short cable variants of the Era 100 and Era 300.

Altering the power cables that come with the Era 100 and Era 300 then using them with those speakers would void your warranty, so I would advise against that.

Hopefully with my reply pushing this thread to the most recent topics, it will invite other community users to share their suggestions or solutions to the cable length. I would also mark this thread as a product request for longer cables and forward this to our sales team to let them know there is interest in different cable lengths for the Era 100 and Era 300.

I hope this helps!

same problem here. I went with sonos partly because they are pretty invisible, but not when you need to add a clunky extension cord to your device. Sonos make a compatible long and short variant for any device you put out.

What would you define as ‘long’, and what as ‘short’? Will those lengths work for all users?

12 foot long works.

That’s what Sonos sells for other devices, and after buying and returning several of them, I learned the reason none of them fit my era 100 is because Sonos doesn’t make them for that speaker. Very annoying.

similar problem would welcome longer power cables to wall mount

+1 — I looked a month ago and was surprised this wasn’t an option. I currently have an unsightly extension cord mid-way up the wall.

Same here

they just need a loner option as per Sonos 1 so hopefully these will become available in the future

the other option is of course to splice in some new cable which has its downside of course but would not impact on performance

Freaking amazing that Sonos can’t get the act together and exploit some country to make them a variety of chord lengths?
Just move an outlet in a wall, cut some drywall, are you kidding me?
What a joke Sonos!!

OK, simple question. Can I cut the power cord of the Sonos Era100 and shortening it? I don’t care about warranty.

Airgetlam

It’s an electrical cord, so yes, with all the necessary precautions.

It’s time for a bureaucrat in EU to write up a bill to standardize Power Cable for ‘home entertainment devices’. If they can do that to phones, they can do that to other devices too.
