Parallell connections on varspd ports

[RADreef]

Does anyone know if the apex can handle parallel connections off the varspd ports?
An idea im tossing around is switching out my leds for 4 t5 ballasts and 8 bulbs.
Id like to run them as 2 channels, so 2 ballasts per apex varspd port. What i dont know, is if the apex can supply enough current for both ballasts to work properly.

Do you have already something connected on one of the VAR ports ?
Main unit has V1/V2 - V3/V4 so you could connect each 2 Ballasts with Apex RJ45 cable to V1/V2 and the other 2 Balasts with another cable on v3/v4.

I am on the way to do that. Just need to check the ballast and programming because my ballasts are 1-10v so they wont turn off completely (flickering) and fixture has only 1 power cord for the 4 ballasts need to find a solution with coding

I do. I'm trying not to buy another module, but will if necessary.
Thanks for the confirmation Kodo

Late reply, but yes you can do this. I do it with my blackbox LEDs. 3 LEDs wired in parallel to each varspd port channel.
