      Can 2.5 mm mini plug extension or expansion cables be used with Gen 2 VUE sensors?

      I seem to remember that someone did use extenders. They posted what they used in here somewhere.  I’ll try to look.

      hello @kkl yes the sensors can be extended with common audio cables, the 50A sensors are 2.5 mm and the 200A sensors are 3.5 mm.   We don’t recommend extending beyond 30ft.

      Does it matter if the 3.5mm extension cables are mono or stereo?

      You’ll want mono with only two contacts on the male side.

      Please post a link for these cable extensions if available. Everything I’ve found on Amazon are either 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female or they are 3 or 4-pole plugs (not the mono as recommended by @mark).

      The above are the 3.5mm extensions. See here on Amazon.com, or here (£17.76? OUCH!) on Amazon.co.uk for the 2.5mm extensions.
