Daisy-Chain Limitations of Composite Asset Strips
There are some limitations when daisy chaining composite asset strips
"AMS-Mx-Z," where x is a number.
•
The maximum cable length between composite asset strips is 2
meters, but the total cable length cannot exceed 10 meters.
• The maximum number of composite asset strips that can be daisy
chained depends on the Raritan product you purchased.
•
It is NOT supported to hot swap or hot plug any AMS-Mx-Z in a
composite asset strip chain that has been connected to Raritan's
PDU (or PMC). Therefore, first disconnect the chain from the device
when you need to swap or add any AMS-Mx-Z to the chain.
