The maximum number of Talons/Clip-on Igniters, MJG initiators, or professional e-match you can fire across multiple slats depends on the length/type of cable and type of slat (series or parallel). Please see Continuity Clarified to help determine the amount of cable needed based on your equipment setup and feel free to contact us at help@cobrafiringsystems.com with additional questions.
