Can I use one CSRB+ receiver and input its RJ11 cable into two WL Ultra's (Coupled together for more output running, andrunning off a VagaBond Mini.) so they will work in unison off the CyberCommander, and no need for two receivers? Feed it into a splitter/hub, and two RJ11 cables out of it? Do I need to put a 1/4" dummy phone plug into each Ultra if the above will work with one receiver feeding two Ultra heads? Thanks. Mack |

This works with regular AC mains power, though I cannot say with certainty it will work with a Vagabond, though I would expect it to. If you use a cable to splitter (which then cables to the lights), make sure this cable is not a cross over type, as that will counter the cross over nature of the splitter to light cords. If you are just plugging the splitter into the receiver, you should be fine. You will need a dummy plug in each light, as that is what locks out the slave eye of an individual light. |

For clarification since I will have to make the 3 cords up that go into the splitter: If the plug's release lever is up on all RJ11 plugs in this assembly, and pretend the black wire is to the left on all four wires looking down into the plugs, then this is correct and not a crossover affair? I guess I could put an ohmeter for continuity on each left wire at the plug and see if a crossover hasn't occurred too. (I think I ran into this crossover affair with some normal phone cords before. ???) Tia. Mack |

If the two RJ11 connectors are side by side, and the tabs are up, then the black wire will be on the left of one and to the right on the other. |
