Hi,

 

Is the Arlo Ultra Solar Panel cord permanently attached to the solar panel?

 

If yes, does that mean cord damage requires you to replace the whole panel?

 

If no, how is the cord attached to the panel?  Is it USB C or some other commonly available attachment? That would be very customer-friendly.

 

The reason I ask is that the only available power cord is 25ft long and $50. I would rather spend $80 on an extra solar panel and be able to detach the 8ft cord from the panel to power the camera from a power outlet with the 8ft cord. Then I have a permanently powered camera and a backup solar panel in case one of my other panels fails.

 

Thanks

The cable on the Solar Panel is permanently attached. This cable is not designed to be removed or extended.
