Locate the OCTO MK2 and PSU as close as possible to the first pixel in your chain to reduce the impact 

of voltage drop.

 

 

To reduce the likelihood of voltage or Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) being induced on the control 

signal lines, where possible, run control cabling away from mains electricity or devices that produce high 

EMI, (i.e., air conditioning units). ENTTEC recommends a maximum data cable distance of 3 meters. The 

lower the cable distance, the lower the impact of voltage drop.

 

 

To ensure a reliable connection, ENTTEC recommends the use of cable ferrules for all stranded cables 

connected to the OCTO MK2’s screw terminals.
