Autopilot PX1 Connection Cable - 50 Ft

A trunk line connection is the main data pathway between your PX1 controller and RJ12 cable splitters that distribute signals to multiple devices. This 50-foot cable allows you to position splitters at optimal locations throughout large facilities, extending your control network beyond what shorter cables allow.

The cable connects the PPM-5 APCECO2 controller to its remote CO2 sensor, allowing you to position the sensor up to 50 feet away from the main unit. This is crucial for accurate CO2 monitoring since sensors should be placed at canopy level or in representative locations, while controllers may need to be mounted elsewhere for accessibility.

While RJ12 connections can potentially be chained together, signal integrity may degrade over very long distances. For runs longer than 50 feet, consult with a qualified system integrator to ensure proper signal quality and consider using appropriate signal boosters or repeaters if needed for your specific installation.

This 50-foot cable is RJ12 to RJ12 for trunk line connections and splitter extensions, while the 15-foot cable is RJ12 to USB for connecting ballasts to control systems. They serve different purposes: this cable extends RJ12 networks, while the USB cable interfaces ballasts with controllers.

This cable is designed for indoor commercial growing applications. For outdoor or harsh environment installations, additional protection such as conduit or weatherproof enclosures may be required. The cable should be protected from moisture, extreme temperatures, and physical damage in demanding environments.

The number of devices depends on your PX1 system's capacity and the specifications of your RJ12 splitters. Each splitter can typically handle multiple connections, and multiple splitters can be connected along a trunk line. Check your specific system documentation for maximum device limits and splitter specifications.

Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electrical interference. Use appropriate cable management and supports to prevent stress on connections. In commercial installations, follow local electrical codes for low-voltage data cable routing and consider using dedicated cable pathways for clean installations.
