I want to run one usb cable, 25ft with a splitter at the end to power 2 cameras close to each other. Will this setup work?
Welcome @JBRADY76!
What cameras will you be using? Are they inside or outside? Will daisy-chaining work for you?
wyze v3, outside under cover, daisy chain?

I have two cam pan cameras connected with a micro usb y cable which is connected to a 42 foot long micro USB to USB cable. The cam pan cameras draw more amps than the v3 so the short answer to your question is yes.
So you have a 42’ usb extension cable going into a splitter to power 2 cameras? Thank you for your response.
Yes. No issues but the standard USB wall adapter that comes with the camera doesn’t have enough amps to power two cameras so I bought some Anker 4 port USB wall chargers.
Good additional bit of info, thanks
Do you remember where you got your splitter? Link? I see a couple in Amazon, but would prefer something already tested with V3s.
these are the cables I used

This looks like the same one that @JBRADY76 has but a different brand.
bought a generic one from Amazon
Welcome to the Wyze User Community Forum @randblue73!
That is interesting. Can you share why you chose a splitter that can’t plug into the USB A port on the Light Socket and only one of the microUSB plugs on the cam pigtails. How do you get that thing to work? There has to be a minimum of two more adapters or cords to use it.
