The heat cable that came w/ my Vision CB70 rack is too short for how I like to wire it up. I'm looking to get a longer cable. Can anyone tell me how long the brown heat cable is that comes w/ the Vision CB70? Thanks in advance!

50' I use 2 50' 150 watt cables for my CB70 vision rack

Thanks for the reply. Can you explain to me how you set up the 2 cables? Do you still use one thermostat? Thanks!

yeah long as you have it setup the same on each level I use one thermostat. Just check temps frequently at first. I ahve my thermo at 96 with the probe in the middle of the rack on the cable and it keeps the hot spot at 90-93from top to bottom. The temp in my snake room runs 82-84

That is exactly the way I do my cb70 Vision racks. Two of the 50' or 52' cables are what you will need just to keep the back 1/3 to 1/2 of the tub heated.

The box says 52' but I think 2' of that from the plug is dead zone. Anyway -- you should be able to route it through all 11 shelves fine -- unless you have a really cold snake room where you'd need the extra heat.
