Does anyone know a charging cable that compatible with the sds100 that's 6' long or longer? I'm a new owner and certainly don't want to screw it up by using the wrong cable. I have the one that came with the scanner but I would like a longer one.

#1: You can't "screw anything up". All that will happen is that you get a low voltage error and you have to go back in and manually reset the charge while on setting.
#2: the key is to look for a cable that says "AWG24".

Not sure if the longer ones drop the voltage enough to cause issues.
I know the shorter ones work great.

Thank you for the information.
Here's a 15 ft cable, also from Monoprice, with the 24AWG power wires.
It also has the ferrite core, which can help reduce interference from other devices.

6 ft limit and should work well.
Anker brand cables have a lifetime warranty and work very well. They are available on Amazon.

A caution about the cable above. It caused me a bit of a headache today. I ordered it to see if it was just a basic charging cable, or if I could use is an spare data cable on another computer. I mean it was only two bucks right? Well, something strange happened, it installed another driver. Weird right? It's just a cable, why should it install a driver on my computer? Well, after that ProScan would not work, and I ended up removing the driver and rolling back my computer to the previous set point on the 11th. I don't know what was going on, but I don't recommend getting one unless you like to experiment.
I may sound paranoid, but could the reason it's so cheap be because it's Trojan Bait? I'm tempted to open it up with the Dremel.

Should just be a ferrite choke. Never had an issue with Monoprice cables, but I have only gotten them directly from them, not through Amazon.
I use these cables daily.
I am 99.9999% sure it is NOT the cable.
(There is no 'chip' in these - it's just a 'dumb' (just wires) USB cable)
I think whatever you connected the cable to contains the chip causing the Device Manager to detect new hardware.
That's the weird thing, I unplugged the SDS100 and used the new cable instead of the one that came with the SDS100. I've never had the computer try to install a new driver in the many times I've disconnected the scanner and reconnected it, (except on the original install). Physically it appears to be a better quality cable than the one that came with the scanner, but I'm not going to screw with it again. I reminded of the old saying that goes, "If it ain't broke, don't mess with it.
Did you use the same USB port on the computer?
I really don't remember. That makes a difference?
Yes. New ports usually install the driver again.
I have a couple of those cables myself... And have no issues with them at all...
And that's true of most devices connected to the computer. It happens with my laser and other CNC stuff.
