Hydros WaveEngine APX Link Third Party Controller Cable - Hydros

The Hydros WaveEngine APX Link cable bridges the WaveEngine's 0-10V input port to the signal output of a Neptune Systems Apex controller, enabling direct, app-native control of the WaveEngine through Apex Fusion. Rather than toggling a controlled outlet to manage pump behavior, this cable passes controller signals directly, giving you more precise and integrated command over the WaveEngine from within your existing controller ecosystem.

Beyond Neptune Systems compatibility, the cable works with any third-party controller that has a compatible signal output port, making it a broadly useful accessory for reef keepers who run mixed hardware from different manufacturers. The 0-10V interface is a common standard, so the WaveEngine can receive and act on signals from a range of systems without additional adapters.

Practical workflow improvements are the main reason to add this cable. When Feed Mode is initiated on the Apex, the WaveEngine responds automatically. Water change routines that shut down pumps at the controller level will include the WaveEngine in that action, removing the need to manage the HYDROS app separately in the same session. The cable also extends WaveEngine control to Jebao pumps, which can be useful for hobbyists running Jebao hardware alongside other equipment.

This is a straightforward single-cable accessory with no additional hardware required beyond a WaveEngine unit and a compatible controller. Verify that your third-party controller has a 0-10V-compatible output port before purchasing. The cable is covered by a 6-month limited warranty from CoralVue, applicable to the original purchaser.
