What does “daisy chain” refer to in electrical wiring?
A daisy chain in electrical and engineering relates to the way in which items are wired together. The items are linked into a specific scheme. In this scheme item “A” is linked to item “B” which is linked to item “C” which is linked to item “D” and so on. In this sequence webs are not formed and item “A” cannot be directly linked with only item “D”. In a common electrical daisy chain all of the wires color codes are matching throughout the chain. The daisy chain scheme permits assignment of device priorities based on electrical position of the device in the order of the chain.
