isolated from the PC or Laptop and can be used to power connected
sensors. The 8-pin T8 plug has the standard tensioLINK
configuration and can be directly connected to the converter without
the need of any further items.
Bus distribution modules are available to link numerous sensors. Any
custom made cables require 4 wires for a parallel connection of all
sensors.

GND of both power sources. The V+ line of the USB converter then
is not used.
