Good as I've got it on order. I'll be running 2 of the reef octopus octopulse 2s that's the only item I'm looking to use 0 to 10 v for. If I decide to add a new return pump with o 0 to 10 I'll have to build my own cable then.
you will have to look at what wires are used in the network connector to tell what pwm channels are being used. I have that same cable but not handy, so I can't tell you. the best way is to plug both cables in and have the pwm set to zero. then manually change 1 channel at a time and see what happens. (of course, you probably already knew that but I still felt like sharing)

Actually I didn't. This is my first controller and first time with 0 to 10 control, but I'm a tech guy so very inclined, but still would of taken a bit of research, so that saves me some time. I appreciate it!!
