Gavita Probe Cable 96 ft 906196

The Gavita Probe Cable 96 ft (Part No. 906196) is a replacement or extension cable for the temperature probe on the Gavita Master Controller EL1 and EL2. At 96 ft / 30 m, it gives growers the reach needed to position a temperature sensor accurately across large or multi-zone grow spaces — without compromising controller placement.

Why Choose the Gavita Probe Cable 96 ft

The EL1 and EL2 Master Controllers rely on accurate ambient temperature readings to dim or boost connected fixtures automatically. If the probe cable is damaged, too short to reach the canopy, or needs repositioning after a room redesign, the entire control loop is compromised. This 96 ft cable is designed specifically to solve that problem without any third-party adapters or workarounds.

• OEM fit for EL1 and EL2 controllers: Designed as a direct replacement for the factory-installed temperature probe cable on the Gavita Master Controller EL1 and EL2. No guesswork on connector type or signal compatibility.
• Long-run reach at 96 ft / 30 m: The 96 ft length accommodates larger grow rooms, multi-zone setups, or situations where the controller must be mounted far from the canopy. The shorter 16 ft / 5 m variant is available when less reach is needed.
• Replacement or extension use: Works as a direct cable replacement when the original is worn or damaged, and can also extend probe placement to a new location without moving the controller itself.
• Straightforward integration: Plugs directly into the temperature probe port on the EL1 or EL2 controller — no additional hardware required beyond the controller and probe sensor already in your system.

If you are running a Gavita EL-series controller and need to route the temperature probe to a specific canopy position — whether to avoid hot spots near HID fixtures or to sample air in a remote zone — this cable provides that flexibility with a manufacturer-matched connector.

Best Uses for the Gavita Probe Cable 96 ft

This cable is a single-purpose accessory: it connects or extends the temperature probe on Gavita EL-series master controllers. The following scenarios describe where it is most commonly needed.

• Replacing a damaged or worn factory cable: The original probe cable bundled with EL1 and EL2 controllers can suffer wear over time, especially in high-humidity grow rooms. This part restores the controller’s temperature-sensing function when the original cable fails.
• Large grow rooms where the controller is mounted remotely: When a master controller is installed in a utility room, corridor, or outside the main canopy area, the factory cable may not reach the intended probe position. The 96 ft run accommodates most commercial-scale installations.
• Multi-zone grow spaces: Growers who divide a single room into multiple environmental zones may need to reposition the probe between zones or run it to a specific location. The 30 m cable gives routing flexibility without signal degradation.
• Post-renovation cable replacement: After a room rebuild or equipment upgrade, existing probe cables are often cut or re-routed. This cable provides a clean OEM replacement rather than a spliced field repair.
• Rooms using supplemental CO2 or dehumidification: Accurate temperature readings matter more when the EL controller is also coordinating with other environmental equipment. Growers who pair their controller with a dehumidifier or supplemental CO2 system benefit from a correctly positioned probe for reliable readings.

Compatibility

The Gavita Probe Cable 96 ft (906196) is confirmed compatible with the following Gavita controllers based on manufacturer product documentation:

• Gavita Master Controller EL1 — the cable connects to the temperature probe input port on this controller.
• Gavita Master Controller EL2 — same connector type and probe input as the EL1; this cable serves both units interchangeably.

This cable is not designed as a general-purpose sensor cable or a universal temperature probe cable. It is purpose-built for the EL-series Gavita controllers listed above. If you are running a different Gavita controller model or a third-party master controller, verify the probe connector type before ordering.

Growers using the Gavita EL controller alongside other environmental monitoring equipment — such as a standalone lighting controller for a separate zone — should confirm probe port compatibility with their specific hardware configuration.

No additional adapters, drivers, or interface modules are required when using this cable as a direct replacement on a compatible EL1 or EL2 controller.
