Running two HYDROS controllers side by side — an X3 for monitoring and an XP8 for outlets, for example — only works as one unified system if the devices can actually talk to each other. The HYDROS System Command Bus Cable links HYDROS devices together to share both data and power.
Why Linking Controllers Matters
Pairing a monitoring-focused controller with a separate power/outlet controller — like the X3 Pro Pack or X4 Pro Pack setups — only functions as one coordinated system if both devices are communicating. The bus cable is what makes that connection physical.
What the Bus Cable Offers
- Shares both data and power between connected HYDROS devices, not just a data-only connection.
- Simple, dedicated connector built specifically for the HYDROS command bus system.
- 6-foot length for practical routing between two controllers mounted near a tank or stand.
Who Needs One
- X3 Pro Pack or X4 Pro Pack owners connecting their main controller to the Control XP8 power bar.
- Anyone expanding a HYDROS system with an additional controller or power unit that needs to share the bus.
