How to supply 5V to GTS

I've attached a quick representation of how we have the geartooth sensor wired at this point. It is working but I'm not sure if it is the proper/legal way to do it. To describe in words we are running 5V that usually supplies the camera to the PWR and (-) pins AT THE END of the Digital I/O bus on the sidecar. Once 5V is applied there the PWR and (-) pins have 5V on them all the way up the Digital IO bus and we then connect the 5V,GND,S pins from the GTS to one slot on the Digital I/O. I think the picture describes it better (thats why i made it). All comments are appreciated!
