never had a problem with twinax. I have unscrewed the pig tail from the back of a unit and screwed the a new one in its place many times on our factory floor. As long as the address is the same, just screw the pigtail in the new unit. never had a problem with printers or units on the line going out. I have even done this process with out turning the unit off . never had a problem . I imagine if you have those ancient nonterminating pigtails you might have problems . but our whole factory has self terminating ones. As Always, Robert G.
