APEX Aquabus cables

[jmags080307]

Just curious if I can use a USB cable to hook up an additional EB8?

Thanks,
Jmags

You can but USB cable won't carry the signal as far as a aquabus cable

It's only 6 feet so hopefully it works.

Now I never used these devices but USB can travel up-to 16ft. If you need tro go over 16ft they make USB to CAT5 (network cable) that can carry it up to almost 300ft. We have used these at work and I been surpise at how well they work.

Not sure but I have 2 EB832s and connected them with a 25ft usb cable and its working fine. This is the one I got: 25ft usb cable
I imagine it should work out fine for you

Be careful. Anything over 15 is amplified. That will destroy the apex

I ended up just buying the Apex aquabus. No problem dropping cash on corals/equipment and I'm trying to save $10 on a cable. Makes zero sense[emoji848]
