Gamecube comtroller extension/extender cords.

[Danstrife7]

Hello everyone,

I have a strange question that I have been curious about. Recently I purchased some Gamecube controller extension/extender cords for my Gamecube controllers.

They definitely give you a lot more length to work with, my question is can you use multiple extension/extender cords for a single controller without it causing harm or damage to the controller and console? Also while still allowing the controller to work normally as well (Will the signal become to degraded or something?)

The extension/extender cords will probably provide enough length needed, however if a situation occurs where more length is needed, can you chain or use two extension/extender cords with no adverse side effects?

I know or I have been told and that chain or using multiple surge protectors and/or power (electric) extension cords is not a good idea, I don't know totally what makes it bad, but my guess would be that less electricity is supplied out and can damage the cord and/or electrical system of the house?

However a extension/extender cord for a Gamecube controller is different from a surge protector or power extension cords. So these two types of cords work in a different manner, but I would just like to be sure.

If it is not too much trouble, please let me know.

Thanks for listening.

I don't think there's any possibility for damaging the controller or system. The worst thing that could happen would be that the controller signal wouldn't make it to the system. Just give it a try and see how it goes.

I do this with both GC and PS2 controllers with no issue. Also, think about it: The NES had the Four Score, right? Same concept, and it even had a splitter. No, the cords can't damage it.

Hell, I even use a USB extension on my guitar cable for Rocksmith.

Hello everyone,

Graphique and GrindheadJim, thanks for responding.

So if I wanted to use two Gamecube extension/extender cords for one controller there will be no damage to the console or controller and the Gamecube controller should work fine? (The controller should work normally, no problem via gameplay, the controller should connect and work?)

I think that is what you guys are saying, I would just like to be sure. Thanks again.

Thanks for listening.

You're welcome, and that's not only exactly what I am saying, that's exactly what I do (I have a GC wireless, but I try not to run down the batteries.)

yeah you really shouldn't have any issues, atleast not until you start entering too long territory due to signal degredation

Hello everyone,

I see, ok. Thanks GrindheadJim, graphique, and derekb for the responses. I really appreciate it.
