Re: Where have the Spikes gone

There are some benefits and drawbacks.

Those two 20 amp fuses are misleading - if you run it from a 20 amp breaker on the PD board. For us, the 40 amp slots are usually pretty close to full or filled, so running it through a 40 amp breaker may or may not be possible for your team, depending on design.

You can already run two different objects/lights/etc off a single spike now. You just have to run your ground back to the input ground for the spike, and power a different item off each prong.

So far, this product seems to be an answer to a question that hasn't been asked.
