Jebao extension cable?

[got2lb]

I recently purchased some Jebao pumps. 2 PP-20 and a dcp 10,000. My tank is a 180gal 6' long tank and the cables aren't long enough to reach my control panel. Is there a place you can purchase an extension cable for these pumps so they'll reach further?

Any diy electrical store should have them or try ebay, i saw some on there afew weeks back

What are those type of ends called on the cables? I figured I may be able to make my own if I can fins the right ends. Then I can make them as long as I want.

I can't remember of the top of my head if they are 3pin or 4 pin
but there are numerous plugs/jacks/premade cords on ebay..

"similar" to this.. This is 4 pin and it may NOT be the right one.. like I said can't remember if 3 or 4 pin on the Jebao..

But you can also find the connectors too like this..

Or simply cut/splice what you have and be done..

I'm pretty sure they were 3 pins. That bottom link shold work perfectly! Thanks, now just need to buy some 3 conducter wire.

I should have asked before, what gauge wire should you use between the connectors?

Just in case anyone is following this or searching in the future for the same thing I was. I found these on this website, pretty sure they'll work:

They have 5', 10', and 20'. And pretty sure you can't buy the stuff to make them yourself for the price they sell them for.

Thanks for the link. I'll be needing a couple of these when I get around to setting up my Apex because I have 2 tanks side by side so it's over 8' long.

I picked up a pre-made 39" extension cable for $7.99. Saved me the hassle of trying to build one.

Just so everyone knows I bought 5 of the holidaycoro cables I linked to above. They do not work. The female end is threaded on one and the male is the thread on the other.

Thanks for the follow up. Lucky me, I haven't ordered them yet!
