Relay expansion
Can I splice the svga cable to make around 20 feet long without any problems?

Re: Relay expansion
I would not do that. You can however get a svga breakout adapter that you can connect to cat5 to extend it. I would go that route. The cable inside the svga cable is probably very thin and would be quote tricky to work with, nevermind trying to keep them in the right order.

Re: Relay expansion
Would it be easy to make my own wire if I bought my own ends and Roberto which pin is not used on the svga cable

Re: Relay expansion
Also Roberto I thought cat 5 only comes with 8 wires and it's not shielded. Does it have to be shielded

Re: Relay expansion
So it does not have to be shielded cause cat 5 is not

Re: Relay expansion
So I don't have to solder a wire to this pin I can just leave it without a wirerimai wrote:All of them, except pin 9.

Re: Relay expansion
And one more question can I use the pwm outputs on the expansion relay box as extras or can I use them at all

Re: Relay expansion
Yes, you can use any cable and leave pin9 unconnected.
The dimming ports are not usable when the box is used as expansion.
