Signal Powered Sharing Device Concatenation

Never connect two signal powered devices together. They operate on reduced RS-232 signal levels and are designed to steal power from the RS-232 devices to which they are connected. They assume that the connected device is an AC powered device that provides a full 12V RS-232 signal. When connected together, each of them will rely on the reduced power of the other for power. The results are unspecified.
