A multi-drop wiring connector (sold separately) can be used to wire a multi-
drop connector for either Thin or Thick Cables. This multi-drop wiring connec-
tor is required when using Thick Cables, which are too thick for two lines to fit
into the connector provided with the Units.
Purchase the multi-drop wiring connector when using Thick Cables for multi-
drop connections.
