Extending probes

[Xiaan42]

My controller and sump is currently located in my basement and I am planning on moving the controler to underneath the display so it is easier to see my settings and to press the feed button (I would have just set up the view II but I can't press the feed button using it ). Since I like to keep my probes out of the display and in the sump I am probably going to have to extend my probe cables.
I currently have redox, PH, temperature, and conductivity how long of a cable can I have? and will this effect any of the probe readings?

Also I have seen the 5m Temperature/Level control cable but where would I find extension cables for the probes?

Hi

Yes you can extend cables

For all L port 1-10V use VL-5

For temp and level use VTN-5

Both the above can be daisy chained

For ph etc use BNC-2, but be aware the longer you extend these the more likely of interference or drifting readings

Could I use some Network BNC cables to extend the probes?

Something like this?

These are ethernet cables though, not probe cables.

Do you have any BNC-2 cables in stock I have not seen them advertised anywhere?
I gave an e-mail to Patrick (OI) but he has not responded back yet.
