G.A.S 5m Male Cable - Link Your Gavita Controller to Your Fan
Best for: Growers running a Gavita EL1F or EL2F Master Controller who need to connect a digital or EC fan to the controller's fan-control port.
Our thoughts
Gavita's EL1F and EL2F controllers are brilliant for running lights and a fan off one box, but only if you've got the right cable to link them. This is that cable - a straightforward 5-metre lead that plugs the controller into your fan, no adapters or soldering needed.
This is a 5-metre male control cable that connects the fan-control output on a Gavita EL1F or EL2F Master Controller directly to a compatible digital or EC fan. Because the EL1F and EL2F have their own dedicated mains power supply, they only need a non-active cable to carry fan-speed commands rather than power itself, so the cable's job is simply to extend that control signal.
Five metres of cable gives you enough slack to position the fan wherever the ducting run actually needs it, without forcing the controller to sit right next to the fan.
How it compares
It's a specific accessory cable rather than a generic lead, and that specificity matters when it comes to fitting the right connector.
- Vs the cable that may ship with certain fan models: this is a dedicated, correctly rated 5m replacement or extension made specifically for the EL1F/EL2F fan-control port
- Vs generic third-party control cables: made to work directly with Gavita's fan-control connector, so there's no adapter needed
- Vs the Gavita temperature probe extension cable: a different accessory entirely, that one extends the temperature sensor rather than fan control, worth not confusing the two when ordering
There's no real alternative here beyond the manufacturer's own cable, but at this price it's not something to overthink.
Usage guidance
Single fan setup
Plug one end into the EL1F/EL2F fan-control port and the other into your digital fan's control input.
Running two fans
You'll additionally need a female-to-female extension and a Y-splitter alongside a second 5m male cable - the controller can drive multiple fans from one port with the right splitter setup.
Cable routing
5m is usually enough to route around a tent or small room without the controller needing to sit right next to the fan itself.
Technical specifications
- Length: 5m
- Connector: male, for Gavita fan-control port
- Type: non-active (control signal only, no mains power carried)
- Compatible controllers: Gavita EL1F, EL2F Master Controller
- Typical use: linking Master Controller to a digital or EC-compatible extraction fan
Who this is for
- Growers running a Gavita EL1F or EL2F Master Controller
- Anyone needing to position their fan further from the controller than the standard lead allows
- Growers building a multi-fan setup off one Master Controller
Our take
If you're running a Gavita EL1F or EL2F and your fan sits further away than the standard lead reaches, this is the straightforward fix rather than an extension cobbled together from the wrong connector type.
Small, specific, and does exactly what it should, day in, day out.
