Maximum USB cable length

[Frenky Tan]

I'm not sure if someone asked this before?
I wondering to know what is the maximum Mini USB cable length.
As I understand the original come from the box provided is 4 meters.
If I would to extend this Mini USB cable, how long is the recommendation length?

I'd recommend not extending it, either move the power source closer to the camera or get a longer single cable of sufficient gauge for the length you need, the standard cable has the right size wire for the length, if you go extending that you'll experience some loss, likely enough to cause issues

Unfortunately I must extend it, because placing on rear quite distance to the cigarette port lighter into the front.

extending the existing cable is asking for trouble

If you must extend, consider extending the 12Vdc circuit to a remote 12 to 5Vdc converter instead and use the supplied USB cable.

Don't extend USB because longer cables won't deliver enough voltage and eventually the camera might start to malfunction and if it has a battery it could be damaged by repeated inadequate charging.
Use an extension to the 12v supply and plug the camera power adapter into that.
Here's one I found on Amazon UK although I'm not necessarily recommending that one - just showing the type of thing I would use if required:

You can extend the cable, but it will lower the voltage and increase the resistivity and the power consumption. It is fine if you do it , but keep in mind that don't use too thin cable and make sure it is high quality!

Recently, I replaced the 15 foot (5 meter) USB cable I was using for my rear camera with one that has a heavier wire gauge that is 28/24AWG compared with the 28/28AWG that I was using previously and I am pleased with the results. Although I am not using this with an A119 camera it "may" be possible that with the heavier gauge 24AWG power wires in this type of cable it could be be used in this situation. Of course, I don't know the gauge of the wire that ships with the A119 and how this after-market cable compares.

The Monoprice cable is thicker than most standard cables that ship with dash cams but it was much easier to work with for installation than I was expecting. The ferrite bead and gold plated plugs were a nice additions.

It might be possible to obtain this cable in Malaysia and they are cheap enough that it might be worth a try to see if it will work in this situation. The price below is for the 15 foot version.

Do as @5Cowbells suggest, extend the 12VDC. If you're not handy yourself, have a radio shop install a 12 VDC cigarette lighter outlet at back of your Ioniq's center console. This outlet will also serve your rear passengers as well. May cost you about 50 Ringgit.
