New setup with GEM and Dashbox

[kdroyer]

I finally got my order placed for the Gem with WIFI/Ethernet and a Dashbox. I want to make sure I hook it up in the best way. What is the best/reliable method of connection?

I planned on connecting the Dashbox to my router with a cat6 Ethernet cable (about 50 feet away), Then connect my Dashbox to GEM with STS cable. Is this the best method?

If I ordered all this, will I get the STS Cable included in my order? If not, I've looked online and don't see an STS cable anywhere? Hopefully I get this answered in time to add an STS cable to my order if it doesn't come with it!!

All DashBox orders now include an STS cable. Using the STS is the best method as there'll be no interruption depending on network status when data logging.
