Hydros Command Bus Data-Only Cable - Hydros
Goes well with:
The Hydros Command Bus Data-Only Cable provides the communication link needed to connect HYDROS devices across a shared command bus. Using a 5-pin connector, it carries data signals between units, allowing the HYDROS system to coordinate and communicate across modules. This cable does not supply power, so it is not a replacement for power cabling — each device on the network must receive power through its own supply.
For aquarists building out a HYDROS-based control system, this cable is a practical necessity when wiring devices that need to exchange data without sharing a power line. It is particularly useful in installations where power delivery is handled separately or where devices are positioned in a way that requires a dedicated data connection.
Before purchasing, confirm that your HYDROS devices are compatible with the command bus and that you have adequate independent power connections for each unit. This cable ships as a single accessory and is covered by CoralVue's 6-month limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
