Sensor Bar Extension Cable 50ft for Wii & Wii U - Nextronics

Works perfectly

The Wiimote connects to the Wii console via Bluetooth. The sensor itself connects to the console directly with a thin wire. Check... The Wiimote receives an IR signal from the sensor which moves the very jittery cursor (hand) on screen...Note sensor is a misnomer here and this is probably backward from what most people believe (since the Wiimote is a remote-like device, it is rational to assume that IT sends an IR signal like most remotes, to the sensor, but no, it is the opposite). Its easier to just call the sensor an IR emmiter and the Wiimote a receiver to make sense of this... I dont understand why Nintendo ever did this really. Its kind of stupid when you think about it...Bluetooth, IR, Wireless and Wired all in one low tech device. You dont need all that crap do ya? Not really. Why not just have only Bluetooth or IR in the Wiimote and have the sensor in the Wii itself? How bout a AC-powered sensor? Whatever. I didnt design it... Its all fine and good and how my setup was working previously. Then I moved the Wii into a home theater room with a semi-pro/pro setup. I needed to run a cable connecting the sensor (located where a projector screen was) up a wall over a ceiling, and down to a component closet (on the side). I needed approx 30 of cable to do this, thus I bought this product. What happened? Well, I can report this cable DOES in fact work. However, it appears from what I now read online that the sensor itself can become insensitive beyond approx 6-10. In my case it does in fact become non-sensitive beyond 6. So I cant fathom why this cable even exists? It works, but is completely useless at its max distance (or even before) apparently by design (for some users)...Other users have reported successful results so take all the reviews into account... This review is dedicated to Brian Banks. Thanks.

great wii sensor bar extention

I needed a way to have the Wii sensor bar placed on our mantle but still have the Wii in the corner of the room, without having cords and cables strung across the room. When we installed the entertainment center and TV I put a flexible conduit in the wall, perfect for pulling additional cables. However, I was a little leary about pulling this 50 foot extension cable evne through my conduit set up; I decided to reinforce the extension cable. I took some old 18 gauge electrical wire from the basement and very carefully taped it to the extension cable, creating a more sturdy solid cord. Although I used half a roll of tape, it was totally worth it. It pulled through nicely, and with all the handling required to finish the job, I didnt have to worry about tearing the cable. Now we can enjoy using the Wii, no cords strung around, and all for about $18.00

I ran this into the attic and down, and tied the cord carefully into the bar that holds up our projector screen. Much better than the wireless bar, which runs through batteries.

Works perfect.

This was advertised as having a sturdy outer sheath of insulation. It didnt, it was rather delicate looking. A more rugged outer insulation for the cable would ve been eaisier to handle and not so prone to a mishap or damage. I also think it was rated for in wall installation. only if your gentle while installing. you dont want to tug too hard on this cable. from a low voltage installation professional.

works perfectly

I have it going through a smurf tube and works just fine.

Very good!!
