Quick update: Matt indicated that the older remote would work better in my case (mix of old and new hydra lights). With the newer remotes, only the LTD mode (white light mode) will work since it's not fully compatible with the older hydras.

Also, I got 2 multi-core optic fiber cables from Ali (217 cores) for $22 a piece to test - I will report back after they have been delivered and I get a chance to test them.

I forgot to report back earlier - the older remote will not work when you mix old and new hydra lights. When you try to power on the lights, only one of them turns on while the other remains turned off (these lights have a different switching sequence). The same issue happens when you try to turn off the lights too.

I might have to try the newer version of the remote to see if that fixes the issue.
