    Default Possible to use a broadband over power line for PAB between profilux and the expansio

    Hello,
    I have actually in one room of my appartment one aquarium controlled by the profilux 3.1Nex.
    I have a second aquarium not controlled by the profilux.
    As I apreciate a lot the comfort and security provided by the profilux, I would like to control also the second aquarium with my same profilux.
    I saw that you provided recently a new expansion box which will fit all the need of my aquarium.
    the only point is I will need to connect the expansion box to the profilux and the two aquarium are in two separate room.
    As the connection between the expansion box and the profilux is done by a PAB cable, I wanted to know if I will be able to use a broadband over power line ?

    For instanc ethis would work for linking the PAB and the profilux?:

    That will not work. The PAB cable must connect directly between the PAB devices.
    You would need to run PAB cable.

    Ok & Thanks for the answer.
    I'll see if I can find a way to bring the cable physically between the two room.
    Is there any lenght limitation for this PAB cable ?
    I'll need probably 15 meters cable to do the path.

    15 meters is not a problem, I use a 20m cable between my expansion box and p3.
    I think 100m is the max length of the entire PAB bus (not just a single cable), but Im not 100% on that part. Hopefully GHL can confirm

    Hi,

    Yes a PAB cable must be used to connect your P3.1ex to the EXB2. Max length is 100m.

    Can I ask another question: I would like to know the advantages of the Extension box2 compared to the previous model?
    I can by in my aquarium dealer, the expansion box 1 at a better price that the Extension box 2. So I need to decide which one worth more.
    Thanks

    Hi Vinny,

    Is the maximum length of each cable 100m
    eg. PL3 -> 100m cable -> expansion box -> 100m cable -> powerbar. 200m + devices
    If so is there a total maximum length?

    Or is the maximum length of all of the cables combined 100m
    e.g. PL3 -> 95m cable -> expansion box -> 2m cable -> powerboat, 100m including devices

    thanks
