12ft Straight Power Cord for Escort & Beltronics Radar Detectors Review

I replaced the coiled cord on my Beltronics radar detector with this straight power cord after using the coiled cord for about 4 years. Due to the location of the radar detector on my windshield and the distance from the outlet to the detector, I didn't notice the slight tension created by the coiled power cord. Over time, this led to tension and permanent tension in the connection between the mains cable and the RJ45 plug. Soon enough voltage was present to cut power to the radar detector…

Why I bought it: I ordered a 12ft cable so I could run the cable down my car's headliner and A-pillar to fix it to make it more discreet look. The 6ft cord was about a foot shorter and they don't seem to do anything in between. Pros: Fairly long Cons: It fell apart. Before I disassembled the machine to lay the cable, I checked it first. I connected both ends and saw that my detector was on. While I was moving the cable a bit, my detector lost power. When I tried to move the cable to restore…

Poor quality. Short or bad connection of the cigarette lighter adapter. Causes strange behavior including erratic volume control that can only be stopped by unplugging the cable. Will request a refund. UPDATE: I took the thing apart over the weekend and found the problem was that the wire used was a 4 core cable with two wires carelessly cut off instead of using a 2 core cable. At the other end, these wires are still connected to the RJ connector that connects to the detector. In any case, the…

We bought a new car with a completely different set up of where to connect the Beltronics speed camera. Our old twisted pair cable just didn't work to get to the connector area and not interfere with our pop up navigation system. We saw this cable at Revain and thought it was worth a try as it looked like it might work. We were very happy with the results as we were able to easily reach our outlet and route the cord under and around things without it getting in the way or interfering with…

I replaced the coiled cord on my Beltronics radar detector with this straight line cord after using the coiled cord for about 4 years. Due to the location of the radar detector on my windshield and the distance from the outlet to the detector, I was unaware of the slight tension created by the coiled power cord.
