PHOTOBIO CX 20 ft Data Link Cable, Mini 3-Pin, IP65, RF

PHOTOBIO CX Data Link Cable — Connecting Autopilot PX2 to Your CX Fixture

The PHOTOBIO CX LED fixture is designed to work with the Autopilot PX2 environmental controller, which allows growers to automate and schedule dimming across multiple fixtures. Connecting that controller to the first fixture in a daisy-chain network requires a specific cable — and this 20 ft mini 3-pin male-to-female data link cable is the right one. IP65-rated, RF-shielded, and built for the grow environment.

This cable carries the data signal from the Autopilot PX2 controller to the first PHOTOBIO CX fixture. It does not interconnect CX fixtures to each other — that is the job of the fixture-to-fixture data link cables. If you are configuring a PX2-controlled PHOTOBIO CX system, this 20 ft cable is the first link in the chain.

Key Features & Benefits

• Mini 3-pin male-to-female — correct connector type for the Autopilot PX2 controller output and the PHOTOBIO CX data link input.
• 20 ft length — provides enough reach to route from the controller location to the first fixture without restricting layout flexibility.
• IP65 rated — dust-tight and protected against water jets — rated for humid grow room environments where condensation and water splashing are common.
• RF shielded — shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, protecting signal integrity in environments with multiple high-power electrical devices.
• Controller-to-fixture use — designed specifically for the Autopilot PX2 controller-to-first-fixture connection — not for interconnecting CX fixtures to each other.

Who Should Use This Data Link Cable

Growers running PHOTOBIO CX LED fixtures with an Autopilot PX2 environmental controller who need to establish the initial data connection from the controller to the first fixture in a networked lighting system.

Data Link vs. Power Harness — Know Which Cable You Need

PHOTOBIO CX systems use two different cable types: power harnesses (which carry AC power to each fixture) and data link cables (which carry the dimming control signal from the controller). This product is a data link cable — it carries only the control signal, not power. Make sure you have the correct power harnesses for your fixture count in addition to this data link cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this cable connect?

This 20 ft data link cable connects an Autopilot PX2 controller to the first PHOTOBIO CX LED fixture in a network. It carries the dimming control signal from the controller to the first fixture.

Can I use this cable to interconnect two PHOTOBIO CX fixtures?

No. This cable is for the controller-to-first-fixture connection only. To interconnect PHOTOBIO CX fixtures to each other, use the appropriate fixture-to-fixture data link cables specified for the PHOTOBIO CX system.

What is the connector type?

The cable uses mini 3-pin connectors — male on one end, female on the other. This matches the Autopilot PX2 controller output and the PHOTOBIO CX data link input.

What does IP65 mean?

IP65 is an ingress protection rating — the cable is completely dust-tight (6) and protected against water jets from any direction (5). This makes it suitable for humid grow room environments.

Does this cable come with the PHOTOBIO CX fixture?

No. The data link cable is sold separately. You will need this cable to connect the Autopilot PX2 controller to the first PHOTOBIO CX fixture in your installation.
