Hey hive mind....

 

Building a flightcase for a hazer that has data and power in/out on a panel on the rear.

 

Question is, with the data out can I just solder A link Between the Data In / Data Out then go Data In -> Hazer -> Fan

 

Or

 

Do I create a complete circuit, so Data In -> Hazer -> Fan -> Data Out

 

Same question for power...

As it’s such a short link then you’ll be fine for just linking between the sockets then taking a short tail to the circuit board. It’s how everything else is done :)

If you have the space available, could you include a small DMX splitter inside the flightcase? It might be overkill, but it guarantees you an isolated feed to the hazer.

You're effectively creating a short Y-split, which is not to DMX standards. You might get away with it - but for the sake of a short piece of cable and an XLR connector, why compromise?

 

Power-wise... if it was me, I'd have a panel on the back with a 16A in and out, and a separate breaker for each of the hazer and fan with appropriate distro internally.
