How far can the OLED screen and buttons be from the ATU itself ?


 

Hello all,

I've ordered an ATU 100 to install on a boat. The ATU will be right at the bottom of the antenna which is about 5m away to the TRX. Can the OLED work at the end of such a long cable run ? I imagine I am not the only one with this issue, so wondering if somebody else has tried this...

I2C is designed for inter-IC communications.? You could try something like :?

Yannig,

What Ellis suggested is what I use with about a 50 ft (15m) run of cat 6 Ethernet cable. Works great! ?In my case I also get the power where I need it with coax bias tees.?

The guide?

tells you the details of how to hook it up (see the note at the end of the pinout section suggesting a better alternative I used but for your shorter run the one directly described should be fine).

Here is how it can be done:
