    I have watched a ton of Neptune setup videos (including the outdated Various/ Neptune setup one mentioned) and this has to be the most direct and thorough one yet. GREAT JOB!

    Awesome. This is great 👍.
    Agreed man. This cable made it possible for me to add programming to have my Varios return pump slowly ramp up after a feed cycle to allow my overflow’s siphon to catchup quicker (doesn’t send excess water down secondary drains)
    Cheers 🍻

      What’s the programming for that. That’s exactly what I need so my ato doesn’t kick on every time I turn back on after feeding

    Not certain why it is now different, but using an A2 APEX that is running AOS 5.10 8F22 (with the VarioS 2/2-S model and controller), port naming seems to be as follows:
    (JACK 1) Left-facing port currently has labeled VARSPD1_I1 and VARSPD2_I2, each corresponding to the two 0-10v jacks.
    (JACK 2) Right-facing port currently has labeled VARSPD3_I3 and VARSPD4_I4, each corresponding to the two 0-10v jacks.
    Everything else in your video is spot-on and extremely helpful, including the valid link to the cable on Amazon (US$12.99 at the time of this posted thread). One other thing I noticed (but perhaps just a bonehead move on my part) is that there is a slight delay of about 1-2 seconds from the time I toggled the Apex Fusion switch to "ON" and when the VarioS 2 impeller actually begins spinning.

    Amazing video. Best content on youtube that explains how to configure a varios pump to apex.

    Very nice. I bought the same cable and could not find a video that explained this.

    The ports are (left ethernet) VARSPD3/VARSPD4 (Right Ethernet) VARSPD1/VARSPD2 And the I1,I2,I3,I4 are the jack(s) you used on the other end.

    Link is no longer active. Seems like IceCap isn't a thing anymore. But I do still need to connect my Apex to my Reef Octopus

    can you control the intensity of the pump. using feed mode?

    hello. best regard. I would like to know please and if possible how the cables are distributed in the RjJ45 connector. a photo is possible. It's that he wants to do it. Since comparing it to the USA and taking it to my country is very expensive.
    thank you

      Sorry about that I thought I put it in the description but must have forgot.
      Here is a link to the one I bought amzn.to/38HgGHM

    So this will also open up/save an outlet on the eb832?
