I'm about to install a 1 wire temp monitoring system.
I want to do it as inexpensive as possible.
I'm be using a DS9097U driver.
Looking at up to 20--DS18S20s.
If I can use wire I already have I won't buy Cat 5.
Anybody not using Cat 5?
I would like to eliminate connectors at each drop.
Anybody just solder a 6 ft drop to the main line?
Any run would be less than 50 ft.
Anybody getting away with two or three star runs from the DS9097U?
Your experience appreciated, Thanks Mike
