    In wall AquaBus connection

    I am redoing my fish room and will have apex modules there as well as in my basement. While the wall is open, I want to put the cables inside the wall. I know you can't use just any USB cable, but can I use a standard USB wall jack or 90 connector? Like this https://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-Comput...SIN=B00EVHYWZ2

    Yes. The only things you need to be worried about are that the cable has no repeaters and that it is low capacitance cable if the run is 50ft or longer. You must stay below 2500 pF for proper data transmission.

    Recivied my 30 ft aquabus cable today and the cable i need to hook into my Kessil A80 led. Still to short to reach the bedroom where my 24 gal salt is. Can I use a 1/8 Male to female headphone extension to complete the run?

    Yes. The shorter the better, but as long as it's under 20 ft and you dont need every last lumen from the light, you should be fine.
