Apex DOS 1link port? & Trident

[Doctorgori]

I can’t find any documentation on this and its nowhere in Neptunes startup guide. Is this a 1link port and can I power my upcoming Trident with it? (looks like a male - male)
any help appreciated, I don’t have a available port on my PB832 and don’t wanna shuck out another $50 for a power supply, or $100 for a 1Link module.
BTW, what the heck is that 6 connector port for?

It is a 1Link port, but it is only to connect the DOS for its own power and data connection. It cannot be used as a source of power for any other module. You can connect the Trident or the DOS using an AquaBus cable and the $30 power adapter:

36W 24VDC Power Supply

The Neptune FMM & DOS power supply is 24VDC, 36W and can be used with the FMM so that you can attach the powered accessories above like the PMUP or the Solenoid Valve. It also is compatible with the Neptune DOS Fluid Metering System. This power supply is for 110V USA-style outlets. What's...

The 6-pin connector is to attach the optional DDR container which has optical sensors inside.

Yes, I annotated that DOS photo myself because your question has been asked before, so I figured this would be handy as a reference.

Does a 1link module need to be added to the system to use the 1link cable to power the Dos?

A 1 link module or an EB832 with a free 1 link port is required if you want to use the 1 link cable.

You don't HAVE to use the 1 link port to use the DOS, like the picture a few posts up, either a 1link cable (which carries data and power) OR an Aquabus cable and included power supply.
