Hi team,

Customer is ask below questions that need your reply:

1. What kind of cable do you recommend to use for daisy chain? How long of the cable can 616 support?

2. Does 616 support random connection(not hot plug)? If yes, why it could support?

Wish to get your reply, thanks!

Hi Miles,

1. We recommend using a twisted pair cable, but other than this we don't have specific recommendations. We have specifications that the daisy chain signal must meet, and any cable can be used as long as the specifications are met. We've tested 25m cables with success, though we recommend minimizing the cable length as much as possible. I will follow up with you offline to share the specifications.

2. Can you clarify what you mean by random connection?

Best Regards,
