The Forward-Phase Dimmer–Gen 2 connects to the EchoConnect station communication bus for control. EchoConnect is a bidirectional protocol that uses one pair of wires (data + and data -) for both data and power. ETC recommends using Belden 8471 (or approved equal) Class 2 wire. The total combined length of an EchoConnect wire run (using Belden 8471, or equal) may not exceed 500 m (1,640 ft). -
