PHOTOBIO PHOTO LOC 0-10V Control Cable 16' Jumper (White)

16ft Straight Jumper for Controllers, Levels, and Aisles

A Communication Tree's first connection, from the centralized controller out to the fixture run, often needs to cross more distance than a fixture-to-fixture branch cable is built for. This 16-foot straight jumper cable extends the tree for exactly that purpose, making the initial controller connection or bridging between levels and aisles.

Beyond signal duty, the same cable can double as a Power Link cable for PHOTOBIO VP fixtures, so growers running VP installs can standardize on one 16-foot cable for both roles.

Key Features & Benefits

• 16-Foot Straight Length — spans the distance between a controller and the fixture run, or between levels and aisles.
• Signal-Grade 18AWG Conductors — keep the 0-10V dimming command clean over the cable's full 16-foot run.
• Push-Lock 2P Connection — daisy-chains securely to PHOTO LOC T Cables or Signal Repeaters.
• Doubles as a VP Power Link Cable — the same cable can also carry power for PHOTOBIO VP fixture installs.

Who Should Use This Jumper Cable

Growers making the initial connection from a centralized controller, or bridging levels and aisles within a PHOTO LOC Communication Tree, should use this jumper cable.

About PHOTOBIO

PHOTOBIO's PHOTO LOC system carries 0-10V signal between fixtures and a centralized controller as a Communication Tree running alongside the room's AC power wiring. This jumper cable is the segment most often used at the very start of that tree, where it leaves the controller.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this jumper cable typically used?

Most often, it makes the connection from a centralized controller to the start of the fixture run, or bridges fixtures across separate levels and aisles. It interfaces with PHOTO LOC T Cables or Signal Repeaters to extend the tree further.

Can this cable carry power instead of signal?

Yes, the same 16-foot cable can double as a Power Link cable for PHOTOBIO VP fixtures, which use a separate power-harness system. Confirm which role you need before wiring, since the two use cases aren't run simultaneously on one cable.

What gauge wire does it use?

18AWG conductors sized for signal duty rather than power, which is standard across PHOTOBIO's PHOTO LOC cabling. That gauge is enough to carry a clean 0-10V dimming signal the full 16 feet without meaningful loss.

Is this cable weatherproof?

Yes, its push-lock connections carry protection against dust and water intrusion, matching the environmental rating of the fixtures and controllers it connects to. That level of sealing holds up well in humid grow rooms and greenhouse environments.
