How To Extend Digital Sensor Cables

By design, external digital sensor cables are 25 feet in length and can be extended up to a supported 100 feet in total length.

To extend the sensor cable, you will need a RJ-11 cable with coupler which is available from AVTECH Software.

To order these cables, contact your AVTECH Product Specialist.

To extend an external digital sensor cable

1. Remove the external digital sensor to be extended by unplugging its RJ-11 cable from the front of the unit.

2. Using a 25 foot RJ-11 cable with coupler, insert the RJ-11 connector into the AVTECH unit’s external sensor port.

3. Plug the RJ-11 connector on the sensor cable to the extension cable.

If you wish to extend the sensor up to the supported 100 feet in length, multiple RJ-11 extension cables can be connected using the methods above.

It is important to note that AVTECH does not recommend extending a cable to a greater distance than 100 feet and does not support splicing or cutting into existing wires to shorten or lengthen the provided cable.
