Splitter Power Cord for Model One LED system, #18 AWG

Anchor a Driver Group to Power and the HCS Controller

Every group of Model One LED drivers needs one connection point that ties it to both main power and the controller sending it lighting data, and that's a different job from the cords linking drivers to each other. The ThinkGrow TDC-1 daisy chain cord, with its built-in controller connector cable, is that anchor point, carrying data from the HCS lighting controller to the driver group while also connecting to the main power source.

Each group of Model One drivers requires exactly one TDC-1 cable alongside an EC-120 or EC-240 power cable, with additional TDC-2, TDC-3, or TDC-4 cords then linking the remaining drivers within that same group to one another.

Key Features & Benefits

• Controller Connector Cable Included — is built into the cord for direct HCS connection.
• Transfers Data From the HCS Controller — carries control signal to the driver group.
• Connects to Main Power — pairs with an EC-120 or EC-240 power cable.
• Required Once Per Driver Group — anchors each group of Model One drivers to power and control.

Who Should Use the TDC-1

Growers setting up a new group of Model One LED drivers, who need the single cable tying that group to both power and the HCS controller, are the intended users of the TDC-1. Every group needs exactly one, regardless of how many drivers that group ultimately contains.

About ThinkGrow

ThinkGrow, TrolMaster's lighting brand, designed the TDC-1 as the required anchor cable for each Model One driver group, distinct from the shorter TDC-2/3/4 cords that link drivers within a group to each other. That division of roles keeps a large modular lighting installation organized rather than a tangle of interchangeable cords.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the TDC-1 do?

It connects a driver group to main power and transfers data from the HCS controller. That dual role makes it the required first cable for any new group.

Do I need an EC-120 or EC-240 cable too?

Yes, one of those power cables is required alongside the TDC-1. The specific one depends on whether the group runs 120V or 240V.

How does this differ from the TDC-2, TDC-3, or TDC-4?

Those cords link drivers to each other within a group; the TDC-1 links the group to power and the controller. Every driver group needs exactly one TDC-1 regardless of how many TDC-2/3/4 links it also uses.

What's included?

One TDC-1 daisy chain cord with a built-in controller connector cable. It does not include the separate EC-120/EC-240 power cable a group also requires.
