THROUGH THE Cultivator's LENS Hands-On Evaluation

  • You are wiring your initial lighting zone because you need a reliable signal path between your PX2 and CX fixtures.
  • You are building out a controlled lighting environment because standard patch cords fail to handle high humidity.

  • The IP65 seal on these connectors holds up better in a greenhouse than standard cables that corrode over time.
  • We recommend this specific lead because the RF shielding is essential for keeping your dimming signal clean.

  • Facilities managers say switching to this dedicated link stopped the flickering issues they saw with generic cables.
  • Users report that the sealed connections stayed tight and secure throughout an entire year of daily washdowns.

Photobio Mini 3P Data Link Cable | 20′ IP65 RF

Getting your Autopilot PX2 controller talking to a PHOTOBIO CX fixture requires a dedicated data link cable rated for the demands of commercial grow environments — not an off-the-shelf patch cord. The Photobio 20′ Mini 3P Data Link Cable is the purpose-built connection between your PX2 controller and the first CX fixture in the chain, featuring a Male Mini 3P to Female Mini 3P configuration with IP65-rated connectors and RF shielding to maintain clean signal transmission across the full 20-foot run.

It's important to note that this cable is specifically intended as the controller-to-first-fixture link only — it does not interconnect PHOTOBIO CX fixtures to one another. If you're building out a multi-fixture CX installation, this cable handles the entry point of your communication run from the PX2 side. To ensure your lighting levels are optimized once connected, you may want to verify intensity with a Photobio PAR meter.

Features

🔌
PX2-to-CX Entry Link

Purpose-built to connect the Autopilot PX2 controller to the first PHOTOBIO CX fixture in a lighting zone — the required starting point of any CX communication run.

🛡️
IP65-Rated Connectors

IP65 rating provides full dust protection and resistance to water jets, keeping connections secure in the high-humidity conditions of commercial indoor farms and greenhouses.

📡
RF Shielding

RF shielding mitigates radio frequency interference to maintain consistent, stable data signal integrity across the full 20-foot cable length.

📐
20-Foot Run Length

At 20 feet, the cable provides ample reach from a centrally positioned controller to the first fixture without requiring a signal repeater at the entry point.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this cable used for? +

This cable is the dedicated data link between the Autopilot PX2 controller and the first PHOTOBIO CX fixture in a lighting zone. It is the entry-point cable for your CX communication run and is not used to interconnect CX fixtures to one another.

Can I use this cable to daisy-chain multiple CX fixtures together? +

No. This cable is specifically designed to connect the Autopilot PX2 controller to the first CX fixture only — it does not interconnect PHOTOBIO CX fixtures to one another. A different cable is required for fixture-to-fixture connections within the CX chain.

What does the IP65 rating mean for this cable? +

IP65 means the connectors are fully dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes the cable suitable for the humid, occasionally wet conditions found in commercial greenhouse and indoor farm environments.

What does RF shielding do on a data link cable? +

RF shielding blocks radio frequency interference from nearby electrical equipment — including ballasts, LED drivers, and HVAC systems — that can corrupt data signals on unshielded cables. This helps ensure reliable, consistent communication between the PX2 controller and the CX fixture across the full 20-foot run.

Is this cable compatible with controllers other than the Autopilot PX2? +

This cable is specified for use with the Autopilot PX2 controller and PHOTOBIO CX fixtures. Compatibility with other controllers is not confirmed by the manufacturer — consult Hydrofarm or your controller manufacturer before using this cable in a non-PX2 application.

Is 20 feet enough reach for most installations? +

For most commercial grow room layouts, 20 feet provides sufficient reach from a centrally positioned Autopilot PX2 controller to the first CX fixture. If your controller is positioned further away, review longer control cable options or consult Hydrofarm's lighting design services for guidance.
