• The GCA modules

GCA LocoNet and CAN networks ned a 12 Volt dc supply on the Ethernet and/or LocoNet communication network connection.
But with extra long line connections, it might be better to use an extra supply 'on the route'.
Also when too much current is needed for a large number of I/O units, this is very simple and nice way to solve that.
This simple board enables you to do that without complex connections.
This GCA09 gets 12-15V dc from a separate supply unit.
The board separates the 12V + line between the two SUB-D connectors.
The now added supply feeds the chain starting from the SUB-D female connector.
The unit can be connected with a standard SUB-D cable, like used between all units, but
can also be placed anywhere, where space is available. No extra cable needed here.
