    Default PAB far from the profilux

    Hello, I have a profilux 4 and would like to have a PAB in my cellar (where I will have the fresh water tank) in order to monitor the levels of water.
    Problem is that the PAB will be around 50 meters far from my profilux.
    Is it possible to connect the PAB and the Profilux using a 50 meters RJ45 cable? Or is it too far?
    Thanks

    PAB is a CAN bus. 50m meters should therefore be possible. Theoretically even more, only then the transmission rate decreases.

    Thanks
    By saying "the transmission rate decreases", does it mean that the quality of the signal will decrease so that it may not work properly?

    Only the transmission rate decreases.
    theotetic:
    at 1 Mbit/s ~40 m
    at 500 kbit/s ~100 m
    at 125 kbit/s ~500 m
    should work fine. I think a CAT7 cable (AWG23) would be useful.

    The max supported distance between PAB-devices is 100 meters.

    OK many thanks!
    I guess it is the same answer considering the distance between the Profilux and the Extension box?
