Accessories
Loop Through Cable
The function of the loop through cable is supplying multiple devices with a single power socket. Looping through
the device should only be done without power. The first Dropper is connected to a power socket with the power
socket to Powercon cable. The second Dropper is powered with the blue Powercon connector on the loop through
cable. The grey side of the loop through cable connects to the grey connector on the first Dropper. Connect the
Powercon by plugging the Powercon into the connector on the Dropper and turning it clockwise until you hear a
click sound. Repeat this process for the rest of the Droppers.

50-60HZ. The power connector connects to the Dropper. Connect the Powercon by plugging the Powercon into
the Dropper and turning it clockwise until you hear a click sound.
