Dumb-ass ILDA question

[smokeAndMirrors]

I can't seem to find ILDA cables more than 25m long. Can they be daisy-chained?

Yes, but you want to watch your overall cable length. I've gone up to 150 ft with my QM-2000, and I've heard of people going even more than that, but it's risky... Eventually you'll end up with enough line loss and / or noise to adversely affect your image.

However, as long as you don't have too long of a run, you can certainly connect two (or more) cables together to get the length you need. This is quite common.

Before the days of QM.Net I have joined 4 together for 100Mtrs off a QM2000 and it worked fine... I haven't tried more than 50Mtrs off a Flashback though...
