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

Exactly what I was needing

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.

Works great with Wii-U

While pricier than I would have liked, Ive had no issues with the performance or quality of the extension cable.

Bought this for a customer who was putting the Wii in a media closet about 35ft or so away from where the tv was to be hung on the wall. We prewired this during new home construction and came back after to hang the tvs, install speakers and basically whole house audio. The cable paired up just fine with the sensor bar and Wii. No issues at all. Great for those looking to extend their sensor bar cable to a media closet. Quality cable, well made. My company and my customer thanks you.

Used for my new house where run between receiver/systems and TV is at least 40 feet. This extension worked perfectly, thank God ( I didnt test it before running it ).

Workks great and length and price is just right.

This worked perfectly. Just a word of caution though - if you plan on running this in the walls, you should do so within a conduit, as any pulling on this due to snags will damage the cable since it is a bit delicate.

Works perfectly

This works like it should. Its about 40 feet longer than I need, but I didnt dare get a smaller cord with the complaints on other listings. This one definitely works! I use it to hook up a Wii Mini to an overhead projector for a bunch of fourth-graders.
