You still haven't mentioned if the slaves are connected as a star, or if you have a single bus where the cable continues from one slave to the next.
Note that if you have a bus, then you get 6 slaves * 300mA or in total 1.8A. That is a very, very, very high current for the Cat 5 cable intended for sending data, not power. |

| Yes, don't! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Getting there | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| So, what was the cause of failure? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
