False. The CAN connection is hardwired between the two ports and Jaguars tap into this hardwired connection. Barring an electrical fire or corrosive magic smoke, one offline Jaguar won't break the daisy chain.

Never take manufacturers' recommendations lightly, especially with a product that is known to be temperamental when abused. If you're going to ignore them, though, keep a very close eye on every Jag running a 40A circuit to watch out for failures.

Looks very nice though. Good luck at competition!
