PFO Quick Disconnect Cable

AquaGrizzly · 02-09-2007, 10:30 AM

Does anyone know where I can get these cables? I've been looking on the internet with no luck. I just need the cable to plug into a new ballast I am getting to run my pcs. I have the sockets for the bulbs. I could just splice into the ballast but would rather not. The cables would be a lot easier and a quick way to change anything. This way I can solder the wires easier and just plug and go.

No I do not know wheere to get PFO disconnects (if they're not in Marine Depot, then I have no clue)... but you can get an extension chord repair end from Lowes or Home Depot (both the male and female) and use that for quick disconnects. You have to wire it in but it doesn't sound like your hesitant about doing that type of work.

Here is a photo of what I did for my 20g build

Thats not a bad idea. The only reason why I say I don't want to is there are plugs on the ballast housing for the quick disconnects already. There are 2 ballasts in the housing. I am going to run my pcs off of and when the bulbs go bad I can use the ballasts for T-5's. Each ballast can run 220w worth of bulbs up to 4'. Then I can run 4 t-5's off of these and still use the quick disconnects when I get the t-5 end caps.

Did you check Premium Aquatics, I think they may have them. I ordered some Icecap disconnects from there when I set my tank up.
