The wires inside are all color coded, so you just connect black to black, etc, for all the wires. Also, I'm pretty sure the ADB cable is sheilded, so you can connect that as well. Viola, one 227ft cable that probably *might* work (A definate maybe.). Actually, i'd be willing to bet you could get upwards of 20 ft. easy. But then, I never tried it.
