The Totem IC is excellent but short indeed. Here's how I used my setup, with a tall smartphone stand.i can definitely see why people want longer IC cables for the C9... unit runs rather hot, especially hot when running when the batteries are charging (obv). hot enough where i lay my LPGT to the side of it. makes a nice dual purpose hand warmer for these colder office days but yes, i will be looking into a longer IC cable... FAW likely.
Convenient, smaller footprint on the desk and optimized for cooling.
