I'm can confirm the single cable worked!!! Thanks again! I have two but the setup was a tricky one tonight and did not have the time to run a 2nd.

I got made a cable for me that has two cat5 cables permanently tied together, so there is always a redundant cable right there.

That is a great idea! What company did you use?

It was a friend, a in-house tech of our largest rental company that did put this together for me. I think the cable got ordered from England, reel is from Germany (Schill) and some Neutric connetors and that's it.
Or you could just buy couple of pre-made cables and tie (tape) them together yourself and roll them on a big enough cable reel like one from Schill.

The S3L is able to operate with just one cat5 cable but I would highly recommend running a spare to complete your redundant system.
