You can buy longer cables for the Apex as well I think up to 50' ft. They are normal USB cables you can get anywhere. The powerbars communicate through the cable. You still need to plug it into an outlet of course. I picked the Apex over the RKE because I can view / change settings online. It comes standard with network access. Also you can name outlets with the apex. (heater) (chiller) etc. Other that those things they are pretty much the same. The ability to access and control via net was the deal breaker for me. Its supposed to be coming for the RKE but its well overdue...
