any tips on how too hook up 26 units on one power supply?
that' a lot of wires ....

From someone else's post:

The link points to connectors which are 2.1mm in size, I thought that they were suposto be 2.5mm? Anyone tried this specific connector to see if it fits?

2.1mm plugs do fit and I would say they are better really as a slightly tighter fit is a good thing. I would strongly advise against using those octopus cables though as the wires in them are so thin its a joke. Definitely useless for BTC mode and not even good for LTC only mode as even if they dont get hot you dont need any extra impedance to increase power line noise.

These are designed to be power splicers for low current equipment..  You might be right though.  Looks like most of them are designed for 500ma at 12v power.  So they will likely melt.
