Logitech G27 extension for gear stick

Craig321 · 19 Jun 2011 at 15:19

I'm about to buy a Logitech G27. Luckily I was able to test my brother's G27 on my desk before going ahead with anything.

The cable from the gear stick to the wheel could do with being a bit longer so I can router it down behind my desk and run it alongside the other cables properly.

Can this cable be extended? It's almost like a smaller VGA port.

Thanks.

Ask the logitech support they could tell you.

Good idea, will submit a ticket now.

Logitech will just end up giving you a 50% discount instead knowing them.

Craig321 · 19 Jun 2011 at 16:16

What, we're sorry you can't extend the gear stick cable, so have 50% off the G27?

I wouldn't be surprised knowing Logitech!

Murray · 19 Jun 2011 at 16:17

Yeah haha!

If your lucky they might just give you a free g25 (which are still good).

Because they ain't stupid.

Still the value may have reduced.
Anyway let's stop getting off topic.
Craig have they replied yet?

You need a male to female straight through RS232 Extension cable of some kind.

Craig321 · 20 Jun 2011 at 18:50

DB-9 & RS232 the same thing?

anuraj · 20 Jun 2011 at 19:11

That's sort-of because you're not asking a straight question.

RS-232 is a signalling standard, and DB9 is a connector standard. Most cables that are intended to carry RS-232 signals, have DB9 connectors -- but some RS-232 cables have different connectors, and some cables for other signals have DB9 connectors.

Thats from another site I didn't get much but maybe you will understand
