The TDC-120 and TDC-240 feed cords combine both in one 7 ft lead with a plug. The TDC-1 splits that job differently. It is a short \u003cstrong\u003e5.9 in (15 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e splitter that plugs into the first driver's input. One branch accepts a separate main power cable such as the EC-240. The other branch takes the controller connection through an ECS-9 cable. That setup lets growers choose their own main power cord length and plug type. The conductors are \u003cstrong\u003e18 AWG\u003c\/strong\u003e, rated to \u003cstrong\u003e10A\u003c\/strong\u003e at 100–277V. The cord weighs 0.15 lbs, and Hydrofarm lists the unit at 7.3 × 1.9 × 1.0 in. It is rated for rooms from 32 to 104°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWiring a Model One Group With a Splitter Cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMount the drivers first and alternate their direction so the leads line up. Plug the TDC-1 into the input port of the first driver in the group. Connect the main power cable to its power branch. Run an ECS-9 from the control branch to the TrolMaster controller. Link the rest of the drivers with TDC-2, TDC-3 or TDC-4 daisy-chain cords. Plug in the main power cord only after every bar and cord is seated. Stay within the driver count the manual allows per feed at your voltage. A 240V feed, for example, can carry up to 22 drivers. If a single cord with a plug is simpler for your room, the TDC-120 or TDC-240 does the same job in one piece. The full wiring diagram is in the Model One manual attached below.\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\u003eSplit Power and Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Separate branches for the main power cable and the controller link.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 5.9 in Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps the connection tight at the first driver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Power Cords:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pairs with a separate main cord such as the EC-240.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18 AWG, 10A:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated for 100–277V Model One systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eController Ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e The control branch connects to TrolMaster controllers through an ECS-9.\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-1\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;\"\u003e5.9 in (15 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;\"\u003eUnit dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e7.3 × 1.9 × 1.0 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e0.15 lbs (0.07 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eThinkGrow Model One drivers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ThinkGrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50528181977302,"sku":"TDC-1","price":14.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/9450\/6454\/files\/thinkgrow-tdc-1-main-v1.webp?v=1790264320","url":"https:\/\/growershouse.com\/products\/thinkgrow-awg-18-splitter-power-cord-with-control-connection-tdc-1","provider":"GrowersHouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
