282 / supercap connection

[Matty.S]

Hi,
Sorry if this has been covered but I can’t seem to find an answer.
I am running a 282 with single hicap dr and possibly changing hicap for supercap dr.
Would I need a second snaic cable,if so what do I need as I’ve been led to believe the supercap is only supplied with the power cord.
Thanks

Yes, you will need a second SNAIC5 cable, so you’ll end up with two SNAIC5 cables between 282 and SC.

Sorry for the novice question.
Thanks
