Extension cables for Hydros Wave Engine????

minus9 · Sep 15, 2022

I didn't see extension cables listed on their site, other than the direct drive cables. I would like to extend my gyres by another 3' so I can mount my WE with the other equipment, but need to extend the direct drive adapter cables that connect to the gyres. Anyone make there own? I make cables all the time, but would need to find out the pinout and the right connectors.

The only one I can find is the drive port and it is not the same as the direct drive port used on the wave engine. It is a three pin cable. The connectors are GX12 connectors. There is a pinout sheet on their forum for all the ports except the direct drive ports. I have not used the three pin GX12 connectors but have used the 2, 4, 5 and 6 pin ones and got them on Amazon. The pins are numbered on the connectors so as long as you use the right cable and connect the wire to the same number pin on each end it should work as long as length is not an issue with the pump.

Thanks! I’ll take a closer look at the adapter cable and see what I can come up with?

Do you have a link to the one you found on Amazon?

To extend the pump cables you have to get an extension cable for the particular pump you have then add the adapter cable to it to connect to the wave engine. There are no extension cables for the direct drive port side.
