I am setting up the LCS system. I have the WIFI module working and I want to install the IRV2 for ross / cargraves track. I believe the PDI cable is used to go from module to module using 1 ,3,10 and 20 foot cables. What is the cable called that goes from the IRV2 module to the track sensor? Does it have an ID number and can you get them in different lengths other than just the 3 foot length provided?

No, 3 foot is it for the IRV sensor pads. @Dave Olson has told us this is the maximum distance Lionel will support working due to noise interference. If you decide to extend them, they will not guarantee they will work.
Hey Marty you have to use the 3' cables that come with the IRV2 sensors 6-85296 as they have a different connector than the normal PDI cables. They are included with the IRV2 sensors. If you mount the box in the center like we did, you can actually spread the sensors 6' apart in opposite directions.
