How far can I run cable from the ZonePRO to the ZC7?
Maximum distance is 1000 feet when using parallel wiring with the optional ZC-BOB adapter and CAT5 or CAT5E cable. With multiple controllers daisy-chained, distances vary; three controllers support 600 feet, six controllers support 300 feet.
What is B-Stock and why is the price lower?
B-Stock means the unit is fully functional and factory-tested, but may have minor cosmetic imperfections from handling or display. It performs identically to new merchandise at a discount.
