i need help!  i have a beosystem 4500 and just acquired a pair of beolab penta II 's and the din cord is 13 feet long,  i was wondering if anyone knew of a cable or connector that i could find to make the length longer?  any advise would be great!  i love this system and wanna max out on sound quality!  im replacing a pair of rl 2's with the pentas and hope there is a solution?  thanks in advance!

Hi, and welcome to Beoworld

You can get normal powerlink cables and a little female/female adaptor. This is what I use.

thanks so much!  can i get them from bang olufsen?  or ebay?  thanks again!

Your local dealer should be able to order them for you. They aren't cheap though!

thank you thank you!

I have a 20ft mk11 lpowerlink new and unused, if your in UK PM me!

Another way round this would be to buy a length of powerlink cable from your deal with no DIN plugs terminated on the ends (ie just bare ends). Cut to length, strip the ends and literally splice it into the existing cables and solder the connections.

It would need to be fully wired in order for the displays to work. This is probably the cheapest way of doing it and arguable the best way for the integrity/reliability of the joint!

Hope this helps

thanks for the reply! im not in the uk but i would be interested in buying from yoU! i could pay pal the money jus ta thought

hi!

 

I think by the time ones adds postage there will not be much of a saving for you even if i let you have it for half price!

The powerlink barrel adapter is also available from ebay, generally in the USA.  There is a female to female DIN connector available from Maplins or Radioparts (Aus)

beoaus.

thanks again! for all the help! 

Just so that you know, PL cables are generally available in 5meter, 10meter and 20meter lengths...by the time you buy the barrel connector and another set of shorter cables, the longer cables may well be cheaper.  Contact your closest B&O shop and explore your options.

 Unless you're dealing with cables already installed inside your walls or something...in which case, never mind.
