I am looking for two cables, one to connect an apex-ready Waveline to the VDM, and another to connect a Reef Octopus Varios. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have the Varios8. The Icecap Y Cable is what I an using to connect to the VDM. A single cable will control 2 pumps.Originally Posted by LobsterOfJustice
BRS and Coralvue have them in stock.
The waveline Apex ready controller accepts a regular CAT5 ethernet cable with RJ45 ends but that will use up 2 Var Speed ports for only 1 pump.
Waveline also has a splitting or Y cable similar to the Varios cable but terminated with 2 RJ45 ends which gives you back both Var ports. I got mine at Coralvue and they ca be had in 3m and 6m lengths.

Ok, don't know what some of these jokers have been smoking....but here's what worked for me:
1. Make one end of the ethernet cable to T568-B specs.
On the other end:
1. For VSP1 pin positions 5 & 6 with blu /whi (5) grn (6) [5 is + voltage and 6 is ground]
2. For VSP2 pin potions 5 & 6 with org/whi (5) & org (6). [5 is + voltage and 6 is ground].
As always check with voltage meter with VSP sliders to ON position for around 10 vdc, prior to crimping.
