You can have many boxes all linked together, providing bot ends of the
cable are terminated with a 50OHM resistor.
A working example would be "something" like the drawing below.
{-========-T-=======-T-========-}
{- = Terminator
T = T connector
== = 50 ohm cable. rg58 will do.
The only real limitation i belive is the lenght of the cable, that i was
once told 300 meters.
In principle you can connect any amount of boxes in between.
