Extension cable for PX1000

[danjen10]

I know that I have seen posts for where people found there extension cables for PX1000's but I can't find the links I remember seeing.

Can anyone who has purchased a extension cable (mini-DIN) for their PX1000 to Aquacontroller please share where they got their cable?

Thanks

Is it for a Neptune controller ?

[danjen10]

Exactly. I think I just need a straight thru mini-DIN 8 pin Male to Female.

Of course, this is not an off the shelf part at BestBuy....

Sound right?

In order to connect the AquaController to a PC, a serial connection is required. This serial cable is 6 foot long with a minidin 8 connector (plugs into the AquaController) on one end and a female DB9 connector on the other. If a longer serial connection is required, a 'straight through' serial externsion cable can be purchased from your local computer store
This what you need ?

They don't sell the cable. I think that "technically" they only support a 5 or 10 foot extension. I know others have gone much further just can't find the links. I looked at the pinout of the PX1000 and I think that a straight-thru cable will be fine.

Thanks for your help.
