I am having difficulty running sufficient network cables both for and aft of the spar. Is it possible to run multiple network hubs? That is a hub forward of the spar and another hub aft the spar interconnected with something akin to autopilot, heavier gauge, cable?

I have a hub behind my baggage are for both ADAHRS and Servos; this connects to the copilot Skyview.  The forward hub is behind the instrument panel and connects to the  EMS, ARINC, and pilots Skyview.  Both Skyviews are interconnected together.  Works fine with one exception.  When either Skyview display is physically removed, the other skyview looses whichever hub was connected to the removed skyview.  For instance, if I remove my copilot display, I loose ADAHRS on my pilot display. I am going to fix this little problem with a splitter--rear hub split to copilot display and then to forward hub.  This will allow the remaining skyview to operate completely after the removal of the other skyview (work behind panel, repair display, etc).  To be clear: I am not talking about simply powering down on of the skyviews--I am talking about the physical removal of one. 
The hubs were a fantastic improvement and allow for simple, tidy, and straight forward installations.

While I like the dynon hubs, use and recommend them. If you are removing a display that you have the network passing through (both ports used) you can use a serial male/male connector to bring those two cables together. That works as another option if you are removing a screen.
