Q: QuestionWhat are the specs for the cable? I know it is 20', but what kind of cable is it? How is the maximum length the cable can be between the front and rear cameras?

Asked 7 years ago by timr.

• A:Answer It's a durable USB cable (approximately 24 feet long) with a right angle tip for the front camera and a straight tip for the rear camera. This cable is F800 specific. It's thin enough so that you can squeeze it easily inside your car's frame to hide it when you run it from the front camera to the rear. The maximum length, it's the cables length itself (approx 24'), you cannot cut/shorten/or enlarge it. 24' should be long enough for even large SUV or Suburbans. For most small cars you will have to fold or roll a lot of the excess cable and hide it at a certain spot within your car's frame.
