PHOTOBIO PHOTO LOC Control Cable w/Ferrite, 0-10V, 3P-2P, 18AWG, 300'

Long-Run Control Cable for Large Fixture Rows, 300ft

Rooms with long fixture rows need a way to carry controller signal the full distance without a series of short jumper segments, which add failure points and installation time. This 300-foot straight Control Cable runs 0-10V signal from a centralized controller across that full distance in a single piece, interfacing with PHOTO LOC T Cables or Signal Repeaters along the way.

Because voltage drop becomes a factor over a run this long, PHOTOBIO recommends placing a Signal Repeater on the first fixture and again every five fixtures after it.

Key Features & Benefits

• 300-Foot Straight Length — spans long fixture runs from a single centralized controller in one continuous cable.
• 18AWG Wiring with Ferrite Core — carries DC communications signal reliably over the full 300-foot distance.
• Push-Lock 3P-2P Connection — interfaces with PHOTO LOC T Cables or Signal Repeaters along the run.
• Weatherproof IP67 Housing — stands up to dust and moisture over a run that often crosses an entire room.

Who Should Use This Control Cable

Growers running long fixture rows from a single centralized controller, where a room's layout exceeds the reach of shorter PHOTO LOC cables, should use this 300-foot Control Cable.

About PHOTOBIO

PHOTOBIO's PHOTO LOC system carries 0-10V signal between fixtures and a centralized controller as a Communication Tree that runs alongside the room's AC power wiring. This 300-foot cable is the long-run trunk option in that system, meant to be paired with Signal Repeaters over its full distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is this cable?

300 feet, built as a single straight run rather than a series of shorter segments. That length is meant to reach across a large room's full fixture row from one controller.

Do I need a Signal Repeater with this cable?

Yes, PHOTOBIO recommends one on the first fixture and every five fixtures after it to guard against voltage drop over the cable's full 300-foot length. Skipping repeaters on a run this long risks unreliable dimming signal at the far end.

What gauge wire does this cable use?

18AWG wiring with a ferrite core, sized to carry 0-10V DC signal reliably over long distances. The ferrite core helps suppress electrical noise that can build up over a 300-foot run.

Is this cable weatherproof?

Yes, its housing carries an IP67 rating, holding up to dust and moisture over the length of a run that often crosses an entire grow room. That durability matters given how much of the cable stays exposed along its 300-foot path.
