What we have done is screw in only on end of the tether or programming cables, then connect the other end to these long 25ft cables, but DO NOT SCREW THE EXTENSIONS and the Tether/Programming cable ends together. So if the robot runs away the two cables pull apart from one another without breaking the screwed in side.
