Usable Length of Wesbar 787196 7-way to 5-Pole Flat Wiring Adapter Cable

Updated 06/03/2016 | Published 06/02/2016

Question:

It says that the 787196 coiled adapter cable can stretch to 8 feet but I have heard that the jacket on the cable is so tight that it has trouble stretching that far. How far will it stretch and comfortably be usable? Thanks,

The Wesbar Coiled 7-Way Adapter # 787196 measures about 11-inches long when not stretched, and 8-feet at absolute maximum. A comfortable length range for using this wiring item is 3 to 4 feet, which will avoid putting lots of tension on it. Keep in mind also that the cable is going to loosen up a little as you use it. It will naturally be more inclined to stretch in warmer weather than in cold.
