    daisy chaining aqua bus cables

    I need about 45 feet give or take, to install a pm1 module on my new fowler tank. the website says one can daisy chain cables, that being said I have one 30 ft M/F aqua-bus ext cable and one 15 foot M/F aqua bus ext cable, and a few short M/M aquabus cables. that can be connected to make one long M/F cable because each cable I have has an M/F cable end, I would then add a short M/M Cable to the end. so when it's all said and done I would have about a 48 ft M/M cable. so in theory, I can physically connect them but will it still function properly.

    Yes, you can either extend a normal Male/Male AquaBus cable with a F/F coupler, or use a M/F extension cable. You can also purchase long AquaBus cables up to 125 feet long here: https://www.usbfirewire.com/parts/rr-apex-xx.html

    I was hoping I could do this cause I have them lying around and did not want to buy another one just for the length
