EJ - The problem with 1 circuit is this. Even if the breaker doesn't trip from overcurrent situations, you can and will experience voltage drops which will effect your gear. Most breakers can handle short spikes above the rated amperage of the breaker but voltages go down - BAD THING. Ever notice lights flicker a little when firing up an amp? Breaker doesn't trip but their is voltage fluctuations.

Makes sense. The inrush at amp power up is easy to spot. I agree voltage drops are bad. Thanks.

I've run into hum-bar problems that were eventually resolved with Muxlab components...

This was after reversing grounds, lifting grounds, re-routing cables etc.

We now pull cat5e with all video runs in case we need to fall back on using the Muxlab adaptors.

They've saved us a lot of frustration and money.
