Topic: Daisy chaining power supplies

Hi,

I just got myself another Multiface II.

First is connected to my PC with ExpressCard + PCIe converter, another came with older v1.8 HDSP PCI card.

My question is: can I use single 12V DC / 4A power supply to provide juice to both of them simultaneously via daisy chaining?

I know some devices are not ok with daisy chaining, how about Multiface II?

Cheers!

Re: Daisy chaining power supplies

This is not daisy chaining (serial) but star (parallel) connection. And it can be used.

Ok, cool.

I was thinking daisy chaining cables used with guitar pedals. Are they OK?
(I don't know if that's really a parallel connection,  that's just what they are called.. smile

thanks for the answer!

It is a parallel connection, otherwise it wouldn't work anywhere.
