Technical Performance
The Futaba 1000mm H/D Extension Lead represents solid engineering in cable design. At 1000mm in length (39.37 inches), it provides genuine extended reach for RC applications without being unwieldy or difficult to route through your chassis. The H/D (heavy-duty) connector specification ensures that whether you're connecting servos, receivers, or other components, the connection will remain secure and reliable even with regular use and frequent connection cycles. The black cable colour is not merely aesthetic—it helps with organisation in complex RC builds where you may have multiple wires running through the chassis. The minimal shipping weight of 0.02kg means this is a true lightweight addition that won't affect your RC car's balance, centre of gravity, or performance characteristics. The quality of Futaba's manufacturing means the cable itself will resist damage from abrasion, heat, and the vibrations that are part of regular RC operation. This is the kind of accessory that serious RC enthusiasts in the UK keep in their spare parts collection because when you need extended reach, you need it to work reliably.
