Whatever you do, don't daisy chain terminals using twisted pair/baluns.
Each balun 'soaks up' so much signal that it makes things 'iffy.'

If you have to daisy chain, you can run twisted pair/baluns to the first
device, then Genuine Twinax to the next device(s).

Those 'T' connectors that 'auto terminate' are also less kind to your
signal than the older style that had the little button on the 2nd connector
to terminate/unterminate.

Go for the old 5250 terminals!  (:
