{"product_id":"thinkgrow-1-0-3m-awg-18-daisy-chain-cord-power-and-control-signal-tdc-2","title":"ThinkGrow TDC-2 1 ft AWG #18 Daisy Chain Cord | Power + Control, Model One","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThinkGrow TDC-2 Links Neighboring Model One Drivers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Model One system avoids a power cord for every driver. Instead, one feed cord powers the first driver, and short daisy-chain cords carry power and signal down the row. The TDC-2 is the shortest of those cords at \u003cstrong\u003e1 ft (30.5 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e. It carries line power and the dimming signal in a single cable, so each driver stays on the controller's schedule. The conductors are \u003cstrong\u003e18 AWG\u003c\/strong\u003e, rated to \u003cstrong\u003e10A\u003c\/strong\u003e at 100–277V. That short length fits drivers mounted close together on MB-8 and MB-9 bars or tight Unistrut layouts. Retailers also list it for linking ICL-300 inter-canopy LED bars. TrolMaster lists the cord at 0.20 lbs. It is rated for rooms from 32 to 104°F. Hydrofarm lists the cord under EAN 6970207972704.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Right Model One Daisy Chain Cord\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMeasure the gap between driver ports before ordering cords. The TDC-2 fits drivers on the same bar or right next to each other. The 2 ft TDC-3 covers a slightly wider gap, and the 5 ft TDC-4 bridges between fixtures or rows. Every group still starts with a TDC-120, TDC-240 or TDC-277 feed cord at the first driver. Mount drivers in alternating directions so male and female ends meet cleanly. Push each connector in fully until it seats, then check the whole chain before powering up. Stay within the manual's driver-per-feed limit for your supply voltage. That limit ranges from 11 drivers on a 120V feed to 25 on the highest-voltage feed. Keep a few spare cords on hand, since a single damaged link takes every driver after it offline. The Model One system manual attached below includes the full cable chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower and Signal Together:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carries line power and the dimming signal from driver to driver in one cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShortest Link:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 ft length for drivers mounted close together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18 AWG, 10A:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated for the Model One daisy-chain power system at 100–277V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel One and ICL-300:\u003c\/strong\u003e Links Model One drivers and ICL-300 inter-canopy bars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFewer Outlets:\u003c\/strong\u003e One feed cord powers a whole group instead of a plug per driver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#333; color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px; text-align:left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px; text-align:left;\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eTDC-2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1 ft (30.5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eWire gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e18 AWG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eRated current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e10A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eInput voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e100–277V~, 50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eOperating temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e32–104°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e0.20 lbs (0.09 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eThinkGrow Model One drivers; ICL-300\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ThinkGrow","offers":[{"title":"1 ft","offer_id":67492011507926,"sku":"TDC-2","price":9.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ft","offer_id":67492011540694,"sku":"TDC-3","price":11.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ft","offer_id":67492011573462,"sku":"TDC-4","price":13.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/9450\/6454\/files\/thinkgrow-tdc-2-main-v1.webp?v=1790264320","url":"https:\/\/growershouse.com\/products\/thinkgrow-1-0-3m-awg-18-daisy-chain-cord-power-and-control-signal-tdc-2","provider":"GrowersHouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
