What is the longest outdoor power cable I can buy/use on the arlo pro 2 cameras? The longest i could find was a 23 ft  2.0 with 3.0 power adapter made by another manufacturer. I could use closer to 100 ft

The problem is power loss, especially due to the fairly fine wires in USB cables. You could try making your own using at least 18 gauge wire, splicing the connectors at each end but no guarantees.  You'd be better off getting power run to that location so you can plug in normally or possibly use the solar panel.

Tscrimo1,

 

Arlo does not recommend modifying your existing power cable or using any third-party/custom cables. Take a look at the solutions offered here, from your original post, it sounds like the Solar Panel may be a good solution depending on the conditions/location of your camera: Arlo Products and Accessories
