Therewasanerror Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hello! I couldn't find any info regarding cable length for Helix Control. Whats the maximum cable length? I don't want to use an external PSU for the Control. In the Kemper world, it's quite common to use a PoE injector for cable runs longer than 10m. Does that work with Helix Control aswell? What is the recommended cable type? I'm planning on using up to 25m cable runs on large stages. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, The Controller for the Helix Rack connects via a standard Cat5 Ethernet cable, and AFAIK that should be good for the maximum standard length of 100m (328ft), at speeds of 1Gbs. You did mention “Kemper World”, so if you are a former user of long cables with PoE injectors, you may be in the perfect position to test them out in a real world scenario. Other than testing it yourself, the best option is to contact Customer Service for a definitive answer. Hope this helps/makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
