Any electricians out there......

How easy would it be to make the cable longer on this encoder.

It has a 3 ft lead I need at least 7ft.

I don't want to buy it if it cannot be done.

The easiest way would be to get a plug and socket pair same as those already fitted and make an extension lead wired pin to pin... 1 -> 1 , 2-> 2 etc.. that way your not opening any plugs or the gear so no warranty issues ...

Should be a easy if you know which end of a soldering iron gets hot

Even I know what end gets hot. Well at least I think I do.

Billly thats a great idea, why didn't I think of that.
