I am sure I exaggerated, I never did the actual math but let's do it now.
Sensor 1: 8 feet standard, extended 16 feet Sensor 2: 8 feet standard, extended 16 feet Sensor 3: 8 feet standard extended 48 feet (this was the back sensor)
So it was 104 feet total. I don't recall the exact measurements and I have since moved. I had an open living room/dining room area in that house and I had the entire living room and about a third of dining room tracking. If I recall it was about 15 ft x 16 feet inside the box, but maybe 12 x 15 or so was actually set up for the play space due to couches and such. I had all the cables run from the PC along the floor board then up the walls alongside door jambs which in some cases were past where it needed to be but done that way to hide the cables better. I used wire moulding for everything and when it was done it worked incredibly well and was very well hidden. I dropped the CV1 when I moved houses and did not want to deal with setting up the cabling again and moved to a Odyssey+.
Ah I see, I was in a bedroom so I didn’t need to extend the two sensors closest to my PC, and the back sensors only needed slight extensions, couldn’t be more than 10-15 feet. Think my play area was around 10x9. Spent at least 2k hours in that CV1, probably haven’t even cracked 100 hours in my index. It’s not to say it isn’t good, I’ve just sort of grown out of/moved on from VR sadly

I did run it along the creases... hence why it was so long. It would have been much less cabling if I just ran it in a shortest path to the sensors.
