    Daisy chain multiple DOS units

    Rather than running the first 1Link cable from the first DOS to the 1Link module, and then a second cable from the second DOS to the 1Link module, can I run a the second cable between the two DOS units? In effect, creating a daisy chain for the AB signal as well as the 24 volt power.

    In hopes of pulling this off, I have ordered a custom 10 inch 1Link cable from USBFireWire. "Only" thirty bucks!

    I would get a verification from support on that. In theory it sounds like it should work, but you might overload the cable in the process or get excessive voltage drop on the 24V connection. Not enough information is publicly available to engineer out whether there would be an issue.

    That is not a viable or supported configuration.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    This cannot be done. You would have to assume that if this was in place (by design), you would have multiple 24v connections on each DOS unit. Don't even experiment. And do send a message to customer support. Report back.

    EDIT: Thanks for the reply Russ.

    Thanks guys. I overlooked the "minor" detail that the DOS only has one port for 1Link. My bad.
