| Fiber Optic Servo Extension Why Fiber Optics for servo extension cables ? Have you ever heard of different problems associated with long servo extension wires? The problem is as soon as you start extending wires, you are starting to lose signal strength to the servo's but you don't see it right away until the wires get past a certain length. You might not notice it right away, but it's as accident waiting to happen. Remember PCM radios did away with interference, well think again, it doesn't do away with it, it simply masks it. Just because you have a 12 inch extension and you say it works perfectly fine, doesn't mean it is fine. When you get extensions long enough, you will simply not have any control over the servo's at all. By replacing the extensions with FIBER OPTIC, you immediately regain control. Depending on the application, you do not need to connect the servos to the receiver. You simply connect a small battery to the receiver and a larger battery to the servo's. The only link from the receiver to the servo is the FIBER OPTIC cable. If you need to connect four servos on, lets say elevator, no problem, still only One Fiber Optic from the receiver, with four servos on the output of the Fiber Optic. For a large IMAC Aerobatics airplane with rudder servo's in the tail, you would need four Fiber Optic servo extensions, 2 for ailerons, 1 for rudder and 1 for elevators. |
