 ### USB Connection
+Each ACE Pro 2 connects to the Snapmaker U1 via USB (data only - each ACE has its own power supply). The USB connection setup depends on whether you are using the ACE Pro v1 or ACE Pro v2.
 
-Each ACE Pro 2 connects to the Snapmaker U1 via USB (data only - each ACE has its own power supply). The ACE units are daisy-chained through the USB ports on the back of each ACE:
+ACE Pro v1: Supports daisy-chaining.
 
+ACE Pro v2: Does not support daisy-chaining. Each unit must connect directly to a dedicated USB Hub. Each ACE Pro 2 requires the supplied K3 Cable paired with an RS485-to-USB adapter. Refer to the [Cable Guide](https://postapocalyptic-diy.com/ace-pro-1-2-cable-guide/) for complete wiring details.
