Camera lens extension cable 2 meter?

[Ballsack]

Hello!

I know there is a 20cm lens extension cable, but I would like to mount the lens inside a housing behind my rear view mirror, and then placing the Mobius it self inside the glow box, for that, I need a maximum of 2 meter cable.

So my question is; Can I buy the 20cm cable, cut it in half, solder in new longer cables, shield it all to prevent any interference, and then get it to work. I dont know that much about video stuff so I turn to you guys.

Thanks!

Usually lengthy remote lens solutions require sender and receiver chip-sets to amplify signal. This is how it works on most dual channel FullHD-HD systems.
And also you need to have it fully shielded.
For you solution you may look at Innovv C3.

The Innovv C3 is one solution. Another may be...

The interference would be horrendous and the quality would not be worth it. I remember (I think) reading somewhere where the developers said they tried 30cm but the quality plummeted massively so they decided against it so I imagine a 2m cable would definitely not be worth it.
