I presume he said yes, and this is it?

 

Yes, you presume correctly!    Not sure why he is not using a photo and of the actual item.  I’ll send him a pic.

Hi, maybe I haven't been paying attention, but is it ok to connect multiple grounding cables to the same plug? The items are plugged in the same grounded power strip but I'm running out of outlets 😉

 

That should not be any problem at all.

I bought wrong DC connectors so I put two nails (I also matched its color to the one here, lol) and plug them together.

+ to +, - to -

 

One end of the wire goes to the ground only (no N & L) and the other end of the wire goes to the negative (-) of the DC adapter.

 

I measured and with everything plugged in, the voltage shows what is supposed to , 12.15V (it is a 12V adapter). 

 

So, did I do it correctly? I mean it works but I am not sure if the nails or my connections are correct. I am not the best when it comes to these things, hence the question

 

 

Maybe post a picture. Doing things with nails and electricity makes me very nervous. Not going to condone any dangerous contraptions!

OK, I took a photo of the cut pieces to show you how and what I connected them with.

They go into each other all way in. Imagine they are flushed.

 

Oh, now I see. That's fine.

Would it be preferable to use the DC shunt cable ONLY on the opticalModule's power supply?

I think you ought to skip the ground shunt on both of those FMCs. They are not benefiting either unit.
