[Maya 2019 Student] EP Curve Extrustion Errors

I've been having troubles extruding a poly cylinder across an EP curve to create a cable.

I had been looking around for a solution, and I came across one in the form of a recent post for 2019. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-modeling/maya-2019-won-t-extrude-face-along-ep-curve/td-p/907273...

I've tried to replicate the steps featured, but I still seem to be getting nowhere. My shape extrudes, but only for a short distance, and I've tried finding out if it's due to the end point being too close to the point I'm extruding from.

 

I have selected the poly object in object mode, right clicked and selected its faces. I have then shift-selected the curve and extruded. My actions lead me here, with a shape that goes about a foot before stopping entirely. It forces my mode into component upon extrusion, but I don't know if that's the problem.

 

What am I doing wrong? All the actions I've replicated seem correct, but I know I'm missing something obvious.

You can create a simple cable through the following steps:

1) Create an EP curve

2) Create a circle (curve)

3) Select the circle and the EP curve

4) Surfaces Menu, Extrude

 

Is this what you are looking for?
